HeatOutflowValue

HeatOutflowValue[pred,vars,pars]

represents a thermal outflow boundary condition for PDEs with predicate pred indicating where it applies, with model variables vars and global parameters pars.

HeatOutflowValue[pred,vars,pars,lkey]

represents a thermal outflow boundary condition with local parameters specified in pars[lkey].

Details

  • HeatOutflowValue specifies a boundary condition for HeatTransferPDEComponent and is used as part of the modeling equation:
  • HeatOutflowValue is typically used to model a heat outlet for a convective heat transfer where heat is transferred out of the domain by fluid flow.
  • Typically, the thermal convection outweighs the thermal diffusion and a HeatOutflowValue needs to be present.
  • HeatOutflowValue models fluid flowing out of a domain with dependent variable [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], "K", kelvins, "Kelvins"}, QuantityTF]], independent variables in [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], "m", meters, "Meters"}, QuantityTF]] and time variable in [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], "s", seconds, "Seconds"}, QuantityTF]].
  • Stationary variables vars are vars={Θ[x1,…,xn],{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Time-dependent variables vars are vars={Θ[t,x1,…,xn],t,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • The non-conservative time-dependent heat transfer model HeatTransferPDEComponent is based on a convection-diffusion model with mass density , specific heat capacity , thermal conductivity , convection velocity vector and heat source :
  • In the non-conservative form, HeatOutflowValue with boundary unit normal models:
  • A HeatOutflowValue is the implicit default boundary condition for the non-conservative model form.
  • HeatOutflowValue only has an effect when the flow velocity is normal to the boundary.
  • Model parameters pars as specified for HeatTransferPDEComponent.
  • The following additional model parameters pars can be given:
  • parameterdefaultsymbol
    "BoundaryUnitNormal"Automatic
    "ModelForm""NonConservative"-
  • HeatOutflowValue evaluates to a NeumannValue.
  • The boundary predicate pred can be specified as in NeumannValue.
  • If the HeatOutflowValue depends on parameters that are specified in the association pars as …,keypi…,pivi,…], the parameters are replaced with .
