Hi,

if I want to calculate the heat flux that is exchanged by the bottom and the top parts of a cylinder, how can I define the surfaces at the top and bottom in a 2d axisymmetric? by cut line 2D or Cut plane 1?

Cut line, calculate line integral, but click the box "Compute surface integral". But if it is the bottom or top of your cylinder, cut line is naturally not needed.

So if I just go to a" line integration" and in "selection" I select top and bottom, and in "Expression "part I choose "ht.tefluxMag" it will calculate the amount of heat calculated from top and bottom?

also how can I compare the heat flux in the radial direction and in the z direction?

Thank you very much,
Maryam

Line integration with surface integration gives heat flux across that surface. Selecting top and bottom just gives their sum, not flux from top to bottom.

Under Domain fluxes you can find contribution to r, z and phi directions. Across the boundary only the normal flux matters.

so if I want to define the surface around the cylinder(not top and bottom of the cylinder) how can I do that?

Since your model is axisymmetric, any vertical line actually represent a cylinder surface. If you want to calculate heat flux across a cylinder, calculate again a line integral over this line and activate again "Compute surface integral".

Did I understand you correct?
