Temperature dependent Loads

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

It is possible to define Temperature dependent loads in COMSOL as "hload(T)". Where is T is a field variable.

However, is it possible to define the heat load as a function of temperature at a particular nodes in the model and the amount of heat flow through the elements ?. For example as

"hload(T1, T2, hflow)" , Where "T1" is temperature at node 1 and "T2" is temperature at node 2, and "hflow" is the amount of heat flow between node1 and node 2, in the previous time step.

The reason why I need to define such load is: I am trying to model the heat transfer between superconducting wire and superfluid helium around it. The equation explaining such heat transfer is a specific empirical equation,
with heat transfer coefficient depending upon temperatures at nodes and the amount of heat flow between the domain.

I would appreciate your answers !!

Best Regards
