Name

Thermal:Conductivity:Isotropic — Isotropic thermal conductivity.

Details

Property Category: ThermalConductivity
Parameters:

kappa

Type: A real number.
Fields: Temperature
Fluxes: Heat_Flux

Discussion

Isotropic thermal conductivity specifies that the Heat_Flux, $\bf J$ , depends linearly and isotropically on the gradient of the Temperature Field, $T$ :

${\bf J}_i = \kappa \frac{\partial T}{\partial x_i}$

(6.56)

where the conductivity $\kappa$ is given by the parameter kappa.
