HeatConductionModel

Overview

The heat conduction model is a THM utility in charge of adding the heat conduction equations to heat structure boundary components.

It creates:

  • the temperature variable. It currently defaults to first-order Lagrange.

  • an initial conduction for temperature based on the interface temperature.

  • kernels for the heat conduction equations in either XYZ or RZ coordinates, with the time derivative if solving a transient.
