Contact_Resistance

Syntax

Enforcement For Energy ([{of} SpeciesName] | [{in} MaterialPhaseName] | [{ls} {a | b | c}]) {=} Contact_Resistance ([Opposite_Material_Phase = opposite_material_phase] | [Toggle = toggle])

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.
