How to visualize the heat flux received at a wall

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I have made a 2D model with free convection and radiation between two walls, and I get resonable temperature and velocity profiles. I want to visualize heat flux at the colder wall, and how it changes in the vertical direction. When I evaluate "total heat flux x-driection" at the wall boundary, or at a vertical plane close to the wall, I get negative results. Is there a better way to get these values?

Thank you in advance
