Understand the Conductive heat flux relationship used by Thermal Dynamics.

Where to find it

Thermal Dynamics → equations

How to use it

Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.

Result

Equation: \mathbf q=-k\nabla T.

Troubleshooting

The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
