convective heat transfer coefficient (h)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hi
i am trying to solve a natural heat transfer problem in a cavity, but how can i find convective heat transfer coefficient (h) for this problem. as far as i know Comsol cant calculate h by itself and just for simple problem user should import its relationship, but fluent software has this capability.

You can do it. You need the heat transfer module. See a tutorial here:
