Description
Uniform or non-uniform constant anisotropic solid thermodynamic properties
Each physical property can specified as either \c uniform in which case the
value entry is read, \c zonal in which case the value entry and zone list
are read or \c file in which case the field file in read from the constant
directory. The thermal conductivity \c Kappa is anisotropic and read as a
diagonal tensor or diagonal tensor field provided in the form of a vector
or vector field.
Usage
Example of uniform constant solid properties specification:
\verbatim
thermoType constAnisoSolidThermo;
rho
{
type uniform;
value 8940;
}
Cv
{
type uniform;
value 385;
}
Kappa
{
type uniform;
value (380 100 100);
}
\endverbatim
Example of zonal constant solid properties specification where Kappa is
different in different zones:
\verbatim
thermoType constSolidThermo;
rho
{
type uniform;
value 8940;
}
Cv
{
type uniform;
value 385;
}
Kappa
{
type zonal;
value (380 380 380);
zones
{
heater (560 560 560);
insulation (10 100 100);
}
}
\endverbatim
Example of non-uniform constant solid properties specification:
\verbatim
thermoType constAnisoSolidThermo;
rho
{
type file;
}
Cv
{
type file;
}
Kappa
{
type file;
}
\endverbatim
where each of the field files are read from the constant directory.
