Hi everybody, I am doing some transient heat transfer simulation, including an air natural external convection/flux. The heat transfer coefficient, h [W/m^2/K], is calculated by COMSOL based on a given geometry. My simulation is going well, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. But, I need to record the heat transfer coefficient, h [W/m^2/K] values adopted in the simulation by COMSOL. The variable h, assigned to the heat transfer coefficient according to the User Guide, refers to the element size in the software, not the heat transfer coefficient! I very much appreciate any guidance

Hi,

Can I know, in the end, what did you use to get the heat transfer coefficient?
