Boundary Heat Fluxes
All the domain heat fluxes (vector quantity) are also available as boundary heat fluxes. The boundary heat fluxes are then equal to the mean value of the heat fluxes on adjacent domains. In addition, normal boundary heat fluxes (scalar quantity) are available on boundaries.
Normal Total Heat Flux
The variable
ntflux
is defined as:
Normal Conductive Heat Flux
The variable
ndflux
is defined on exterior boundaries as:
•
ndflux
= −
dflux_spatial
(
T
)
if the adjacent domain is on the downside,
•
ndflux
= −
uflux_spatial
(
T
)
if the adjacent domain is on the upside,
and, on interior boundaries, as:
ndflux
= (
uflux_spatial
(
T
) −
dflux_spatial
(
T
))/
