Detailed Description

Variable heat transfer model depending on local values. The area of contact between regions (area) must be provided. The Nu number is calculated as:

Nu = a*pow(Re, b)*pow(Pr, c)

and the heat transfer coefficient as:

htc = Nu*K/ds

where: K is the heat conduction ds is the strut diameter
