Area Scaling Factor in Heat Transfer in Shells

Application ID: 103171


This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the Area Scaling Factor (ASF) in the Heat Transfer in Shells interface, to account for the curvature of the layers when applying heat fluxes and heat sources. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface applied to a boundary (with extra dimension) are compared with those obtained with the Heat Transfer in Solids interface on the equivalent solid geometry.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
