Syntax

Bc Bulknode_Flux For Energy [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName | {ls} {a | b | c}] {@ | at | for | on | over} Mesh Extent Name [Touching TouchingMeshExtent | Opposing OpposingMeshExtent] = Generalized_Nat_Conv [Using Data Specification Data Spec Name] [Bulk_Node = bulk_node | H = h | Hcorr = hcorr | Toggle = toggle]

Summary

Applies a heat flux of the form J \cdot n = h (T - T_{bulk}) where h is the convection coefficient defined as an inline string function, a property of the surface material, or the heat transfer correlation specified by the optional ‘hcorr’ parameter.

Description

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Toggle

If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
