HeatConductionFV

This Physics object implements the heat conduction equation over a volumetric domain using a cell-centered finite volume discretization.

It creates the kernels for each term of the equation:

The boundary conditions are created with:

A boundary condition object is created for each boundary, except if the same arguments can be used across all boundaries in which case a single object is created and restricted to the union of boundaries.
