.ThermoPower.Thermal.CylinderFourier

Information

The model is axis-symmetric, has one node in the longitudinal direction, and Nr nodes in the radial direction. The two connectors correspond to the internal and external surfaces; if one of the surface is thermally insulated, just leave the connector unconnected (no connection on a DHT connector means zero heat flux). The temperature-dependent properties of the material are described by the replaceable MaterialModel model.

Modelling options

• Choices.CylinderFourier.NodeDistribution.uniform uniform distribution, nodes are equally spaced;
• Choices.CylinderFourier.NodeDistribution.thickInternal quadratic distribution, nodes are thickest near the internal surface;
• Choices.CylinderFourier.NodeDistribution.thickExternal quadratic distribution, nodes are thickest near the external surface;
• Choices.CylinderFourier.NodeDistribution.thickBoth quadratic distribution, nodes are thickest near both surfaces.
