Detailed Description

Variable heat transfer model depending on local values. The Nusselt number is calculated as:

$Nu = a*Re^b*Pr^c$

And the heat transfer coefficient is calculated as:

$htc = Nu*\kappa/L$

Where:

$\kappa$	=	Conductivity
	=	Length scale

Usage

Example usage:

{
    type        variable;

    AoV         1e3;

    a           1;
    b           2;
    c           3;
    Pr          0.7;
    L           1e-3;
}
