Energy equation in nanoFluidX is implemented so that it accommodates for conduction and convection heat transfer with initial or Dirichlet boundary
conditions.
nanoFluidX now supports both temperature-viscosity and non-Newtonian modeling behavior. For temperature-viscosity, three models
were implemented: polynomial, Sutherland, and power law. For non-Newtonian, the Cross model is available,
which can be used to approximate power law behavior without risking instabilities due to viscosity unboundness of
the power model.
Body Force
The body force, defined through acceleration in units of [m/s2], can be varied over time using an input file.
Contact Angle
Enable the contact angle parameter to allow different wetting behaviors.
