Detailed Description

Thermal-shell finite-area model. It solves the energy equation in 2D. The coupling with the 3D region is done through the temperatureCoupledBase, plus faOption is available to add extra sources on the shell such as externalHeatFluxSource etc.

Usage

Example of the boundary condition specification:

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    thermalShellModel   thermalShell;
    thermo
    {
        // subdictionary entries
    }

    // Optional entries
    qr                  <word>;
    thickness           <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    ...
    nNonOrthCorr        <int>;    // read from another dict
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
`thermalShellModel`	Type name: thermalShell	word	yes	-
`thermo`	Solid thermal properties	dictionary	yes	-
`qr`	Name of radiative heat flux field	word	no	none
`thickness`	Uniform film thickness [m]	scalar	choice	-

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

thermalShellModel.H
