Detailed Description

Thermal-shell finite-area model. It solves the energy equation in 2D. The coupling with the 3D region is done through the temperatureCoupledBase, plus faOption is available to add extra sources on the shell such as externalHeatFluxSource etc.

Usage

Example of the boundary condition specification:

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
    ...

    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    thermalShellModel   thermalShell;
    thermo
    {
        // subdictionary entries
    }

    // Mandatory/Optional (derived) entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Dflt
thermalShellModel	Type name: thermalShell	word	yes	-
thermo	Solid thermal properties	dictionary	yes	-
