Domain Features
Change Cross Section
Use this node with 1D components to model domains with another cross sectional area or another cross sectional perimeter than the global one that is used in the Heat Transfer interface
Physical Model
section. In 1D geometries, the temperature is assumed to be constant in the radial direction, and the heat equation is modified to account for that.
Change Cross Section
Enter values for the
Cross sectional area
A
c
and the
Cross sectional perimeter
P
c
to set the cross section of the domain in the plane perpendicular to the 1D geometry.
