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.
⚠️ Also, refer to Using lists for Intact components for explanation of how list input works with Load Blocks.
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
