HeatSourceFromPowerDensity

This component is a heat structure heat source from a power density variable .

Usage

The user must supply the name of the heat structure via the parameter "hs" and then the applicable regions of the heat structure using the "regions" parameter. For a 2D heat structure, "regions" may include any set of the heat structure's names parameter. For HeatStructureFromFile3D, "regions" may include any set of blocks existing in the mesh file.

The user provides a power density variable using the parameter "power_density".

Advanced Parameters

Formulation

The heat conduction equation is the following: where

  • is density,

  • is specific heat capacity,

  • is thermal conductivity,

  • is temperature, and

  • is a volumetric heat source.

Multiplying by a test function and integrating by parts over the domain gives where is the boundary of the domain .
