Theory for Heat Transfer in Thin Structures
In COMSOL Multiphysics, thin domains of solid, fluid, or porous layered materials have dedicated tools to model them with boundaries instead of full domains. This way, simulations directly benefit from a reduced number of mesh elements. This section presents the hypotheses needed for such approximations and the resulting heat transfer equations that hold.
