GapHeatTransfer
Transfers heat across a gap between two surfaces dependent on the gap geometry specified.
Description
GapHeatTransfer calculates the amount of heat transferred across unmeshed gaps between two different blocks.
The quadrature
option is generally recommended for most models. With this option, heat flux is computed and applied as an integrated boundary condition at the quadrature points on both faces. Use of the quadrature options generally gives smoother results, although there can be small differences in the heat flux on the two surfaces.
It is also important to use the appropriate gap_geometry_type
parameter (PLATE, CYLINDER, or SPHERE) for the model geometry.
Two-dimensional Cartesian geometries are not restricted to be in or parallel to the X-Y coordinate plane.
