Thermal Boundary Conditions
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
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
“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
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
