Class
    Foam::solidThermophysicalTransportModels::anisotropic
 
Description
    Solid thermophysical transport model for anisotropic thermal conductivity
 
    The anisotropic thermal conductivity field is evaluated from the solid
    material anisotropic kappa specified in the physicalProperties dictionary
    transformed into the global coordinate system using default
    coordinate system and optionally additional coordinate systems specified
    per-zone in the thermophysicalTransport dictionary.
 
    If the coordinate transformed kappa does not align exactly with the boundary
    because the patch face orientations do not conform to the coordinate system
    exactly it may be beneficial for convergence and accuracy to enforce
    alignment at the boundary by setting the optional \c boundaryAligned to
    true.
 
Usage
    Example of the anisotropic thermal conductivity specification in
    thermophysicalTransport with two zone-based coordinate systems in
    addition to the default:
 
    \verbatim
    model anisotropic;
 
    // Force aligned handling of kappa irrespective
    // of the calculated patch alignment factors.
    boundaryAligned true;
 
    // Default coordinate system
    coordinateSystem
    {
        type        cartesian;
        origin      (0 0 0);
        coordinateRotation
        {
            type        cylindrical;
            e3          (1 0 0);
        }
    }
 
    // Optional zone coordinate systems
    zones
    {
        coil1
        {
            type        cartesian;
            origin      (0.1 0.2 0.7);
            coordinateRotation
            {
                type        cylindrical;
                e3          (0.5 0.866 0);
            }
        }
 
        coil2
        {
            type        cartesian;
            origin      (0.4 0.5 1);
            coordinateRotation
            {
                type        cylindrical;
                e3          (0.866 0.5 0);
            }
        }
    }
