heat flux: power or power density

Postby martijn » 13 Oct 2009, 16:30

A question about the meaning of the "heat flux" property in the Thermal boundary conditions dialog: is it defined as a power or as a power/area? I assume the latter, but would like to know for sure.

It is the latter, i.e. W/m^2 if using SI-units.
