Comments
- This material can be used:
- as purely thermal material (only Line 4 is read)
- as boundaries conditions (temperature or flux) (use Line 5)
- The
(thermal conductivity) is computed
as:
- The
(thermal diffusivity) is computed as:
Where, is the heat capacity at constant pressure.
- The (thermal conductivity) is given by curve .
- The (thermal diffusivity) is computed with curve fct_IDsph with, .
- Function g(T, E) is similar to
the following curve:
Figure 1.
