Abstract: A catalyst support for induction heating includes: a honeycomb structure including a pillar shaped honeycomb structure portion having: an outer peripheral wall; and a partition wall disposed on an inner side of the outer peripheral wall, the partition wall defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells extending from an end face on an inlet side to an end face on an outlet side in a gas flow direction to form a flow path; a catalyst supported onto an interior of the partition wall; and at least one magnetic body provided within the honeycomb structure, wherein the catalyst support has a region A where the catalyst is not supported, at least on the end face side of the catalyst support on the inlet side in the gas flow direction, and wherein the magnetic body is arranged at least in the region A in the gas flow direction.

Abstract: Object information representing a honeycomb structure with a plurality of meshes is obtained, and an inner-wall-surface heat transfer coefficient hs, i.e., a heat transfer coefficient between an inner wall surface of a cell and a fluid, is derived as follows. First, one of the meshes as a target for derivation of the inner-wall-surface heat transfer coefficient hs is set (S200), and a dimensionless coordinate X* is derived on the basis of position information (X-coordinate) of the set mesh and fluid state information (S210). An inner-wall-surface dimensionless heat transfer coefficient Nus corresponding to the derived dimensionless coordinate X* is then derived on the basis of the inner-wall-surface dimensionless correspondence information (S220 to S250). The inner-wall-surface heat transfer coefficient hs in the mesh set as the derivation target is then derived on the basis of the derived inner-wall-surface dimensionless heat transfer coefficient Nus (S260).
