ConjugateHeatTransfer
This InterfaceKernel models conjugate heat transfer. Fluid side must be primary side and solid side must be secondary side. T_fluid is provided in case that variable ( fluid energy variable) is not temperature but e.g. internal energy.
Description
This InterfaceKernel
models conjugate heat transfer between a solid and a fluid. At the interface the condition:
is imposed. In this equation is the solid thermal conductivity, is the solid temperature, is the heat transfer coefficient, and is the fluid temperature.
The condition is applied directly in the fluid equation where appears as a boundary contribution. In the solid equation, integration of the heat conduction term results in a integrated over the boundary. The above equality is used to substitute the right hand side.
Note, in general the fluid energy equation does not need to be solved for temperature. Therefore, the parameter variable
may be tied to internal energy. For these cases, the parameter T_fluid
must be provided.
This class adopts the convection that the primary side is the fluid side and the secondary side is the solid side. Therefore, variable
expects the primary variable of the fluid energy equation and neighbor_var
expects the solid temperature. It is assumed that the solid energy equation is solved for the solid temperature.
