The Heat Transfer in Fluids (ht) interface (
) is used to model heat transfer in fluids by conduction, convection, and radiation. A
Fluid model is active by default on all domains. All functionality for including other domain types, such as a solid domain, is also available.
When this version of the physics interface is added, these default nodes are added to the Model Builder:
Fluid,
Thermal Insulation (the default boundary condition), and
Initial Values. Then, from the
Physics toolbar, add other nodes that implement, for example, boundary conditions and sources. You can also right-click
Heat Transfer in Fluids to select physics features from the context menu.
See Physical Model for a description of the
Thickness (2D and 1D axisymmetric components),
Cross sectional area (1D components),
Cross sectional perimeter (1D components), and
Reference temperature settings, and the check boxes available under the
Physical Model section.
