Contact_Resistance

Syntax

Bc Interface For Energy ([{of} SpeciesName] | [{in} MaterialPhaseName] | [{ls} {a | b | c}]) {@ | at | for | on | over} Mesh Extent Name ([Touching TouchingMeshExtent] | [Opposing OpposingMeshExtent]) = Contact_Resistance [Using Data Specification Data Spec Name] ([Toggle = toggle] | [Opposite_Material_Phase = opposite_material_phase])

Summary

Applies a contact heat flux of the form h (T - T_{opp}) where h is the gap conductance coefficient defined for the surface material and the material phase of T_{opp} is optionally specified.

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.
