modelConvection
Lumped thermal element for heat convection
Information
This is a highly simplified convection model. In this model, the flow is caused by temperature difference. The only effect modeled is that the conductance itself may be variable, caused by some external quantity, such as wind.A general convection model needs to take into account mass flow, which is outside the realm of the BondLib library. Such a model can be found in the ThermoBondLib library.
