Abstract

Traditional methods for measuring thermal properties often suffer from low efficiency and susceptibility to environmental interference. To address this, we present a three-dimensional full-scale simulation model based on the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method, employing a multiphysics-coupled finite element approach. The model is constructed in two stages: static simulation for determining the resistance and optimizing mesh refinement, and transient simulation coupling Joule heating with heat transfer. This framework reveals the current concentration toward the inner side of the double-helix probe due to the skin effect, leading to a non-uniform heat source distribution — a phenomenon rarely quantified in…
