Temperature distribution on a surface.

Post by kevinkoprol »

Hi forum,

I'm still a newbie to elmer so maybe I am missing some basic knowledge. I was wondering how I could apply a temperature distribution on a surface. I am using the Heat equation and I'm trying to put a heat flux on a surface by using a heat transfer coefficient and an external temperature. This external temperature should be decreasing in one direction (z in this case) and stay constant in the other. I don't know if it possible to apply an linear distribution, in steps or in any other way.

Thanks,
Kevin
