3.3. notes#

Volume heat \(\rho {C}_{P}\) is not a step in this test, but must be declared. We take \(\rho {C}_{P}=2.0J/{m}^{3}\text{°}C\).

Boundary condition \(\varphi =0.\) is implicit on free edges.

The boundary conditions, \(T=-17.778\text{°}C\) on KL, and \(T=4.444\text{°}C\) on LE, are incompatible at point L (node25).

Code_Aster applies an « overload law » which, in this case, consists in taking into account the last limit condition entered. The order in which the temperatures imposed are assigned therefore has a major influence on the results obtained.

In the case treated, the temperature on the upper face (LE) is affected after that on the flank of the cylinder (KL).
