Abstract The Fourier heat conduction and the hyperbolic heat conduction equations were solved numerically to simulate a frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) experimental setup. Numerical solutions enable use of realistic boundary conditions, such as convective cooling from the various surfaces of the substrate and transducer. The equations were solved in time domain and the phase lag between the temperature at the center of the transducer and the modulated pump laser signal were computed for a modulation frequency range of 200 kHz to 200 MHz. It was found that the numerical predictions fit the experimentally measured phase lag better than analytical frequency-domain solutions of the Fourier heat equation based on Hankel transforms. The effects of boundary conditions were investigated and it was found that if the substrate (computational domain) is sufficiently large, the far-field boundary conditions have no effect on the computed phase lag. The interface conductance between the transducer and the substrate was also treated as a parameter, and was found to have some effect on the predicted thermal conductivity, but only in certain regimes. The hyperbolic heat conduction equation yielded identical results as the Fourier heat conduction equation for the particular case studied. The thermal conductivity value (best fit) for the silicon substrate considered in this study was found to be 108 W/m/K, which is slightly different from previously reported values for the same experimental data.

The temperature profile, heat flux and thermal conductivity are investigated for the chain length of 67 one-dimensional (1-D) oscillators. FPU-β and FK models are used for interparticle interactions and substrate interactions, respectively. As harmonic chain does not produce temperature gradient along the chain, it is required to introduce anharmonicity in the numerical simulation. The anharmonicity dependent temperature profile, thermal conductivity and heat flux are simulated for different strength of anharmonicity β = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1. It is concluded that heat flux obeys J = 0.3947 e0.553β with R2 = 0.9319 and thermal conductivity obeys κ = 0.0276 e0.5559β with R2 = 0.9319.

The spectacular heat transfer enhancement revealed experimentally in nanofluids suspensions is being investigated theoretically at the macro-scale level aiming at explaining the possible mechanisms that lead to such impressive experimental results. In particular, the anticipation that thermal wave effects via hyperbolic heat conduction could have been the source of the excessively improved effective thermal conductivity of the suspension is shown to be impossible.
