HeatFlux

class HeatFlux

Bases: SingleAttributeModel

HeatFlux class to specify the heat flux for Wall boundary condition via Wall.heat_spec.

A positive heat flux removes energy from the fluid (heat flows from the fluid into the wall, cooling the fluid); a negative heat flux adds energy to the fluid (heat flows from the wall into the fluid, heating it). A value of 0 corresponds to an adiabatic wall.

Example

>>> fl.HeatFlux(value = 1.0 * fl.u.W/fl.u.m**2)

value: str | Any

The heat flux value. A positive value cools the fluid; a negative value heats it.
