Conjugate heat transfer - planeWall2D

In this tutorial you will get an introduction to conjugate heat transfer. You will learn how to set up a case for the simulation of a fluid flow in fluid regions as well as the heat conduction in solid regions within one simulation. You will learn about:

• case setup
• running the simulation
• post processing
• file description
• understanding the physics
• boundary layer
• analytical solution
• interpreting the results
