7.6.8.3.6. Generalized

Syntax

Heat Conduction [{of} SpeciesName] = Generalized ()

Scope

Aria Material

Summary

Generalized model for heat conduction - can use either a scalar or tensor thermal conductivity.

Description

If a tensor thermal conductivity $K$ is provided in the material model, the form of heat flux is

${\bf{q}} = -K \cdot \nabla T$

If the thermal conductivity is given as a scalar $k$ then the heat flux is

${\bf{q}} = -k \nabla T$
