====== Thermal Boundary Conditions ======
<WRAP half column>
Thermal boundary conditions are applied to faces of the components participating in the simulation by connecting to the boundary condition input on the thermal solver component

===== Temperature Load =====
<WRAP half column>
A "Temperature" boundary condition fixes the temperature at the chosen boundary at the specified temperature.


A Temperature boundary condition requires two inputs:
  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the temperature is fixed
  * T: the magnitude of the temperature

===== Thermal Convection =====
<WRAP half column>
"Thermal Convection" specifies the transfer of heat from a surrounding medium.


A thermal convection boundary condition requires three inputs:
  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the convection is specified.
  * C: the coefficient of convection
  * Te: the temperature of the surrounding medium

===== Thermal Flux =====
<WRAP half column>
Surface "Thermal or Heat Flux" specifies the heat flow per unit of surface area.

A surface thermal flux requires two inputs:
  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the heat flux is applied
  * HF: the magnitude of the heat flux
