How to use it
Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.
Result
Equation: \rho C_p\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}-\nabla\cdot\left(k\nabla T\right)=Q.
Troubleshooting
The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
