Domain Heat Sources
The sum of the domain heat sources added by different physics features is available in the variable Qtot, which is the sum of:
•
Q’s, which are the heat sources added by the Heat Source (described for the Heat Transfer interface) and Electromagnetic Heat Source (described for the Joule Heating interface in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual) features.
•
Qmet, which is the metabolic heat source added by the Bioheat feature.
•
Qdmg, which is the cooling source added by the Irreversible Transformation feature.
•
Qr, which is the radiative heat source added by the Radiation in Participating Media (Heat Transfer Interface) and Radiation in Participating Media (RPM Interface) features.
•
Qgeo, which is the geothermal heat source added by the Geothermal Heating feature.
In Bioheat, the out-of-plane (heat flux and radiation) and blood contributions are not added to Qtot because these are considered to be fluxes.
