TPLV304 - Distribution of the temperature in one
bar square section




Summary:


This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in linear stationary thermics.

It aims to validate the voluminal thermal elements under conditions of convection and of
imposed temperature.

The reference solution is based on an analytical approach.
