Calculation of Inductance + Convection

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am simulating the thermal and electromagnetic behavior of a unifilar spire of Aluminium. I use for it the Joule effect module changing electrical currents for magnetic currents to apply the current of the spire.

Because I want to know both effects (HT, and EM) my model consists of two domines, the spire and the surrounding air. My problem appears when I try to add to the "Heat Transfer in Solids" module the natural convective flux of the air that surrounds the spire. COMSOL doesn't let me to add into the boundary of the spire this effect. Therefore, when I simmulate the case the results aren't accurate enough.

Thanks
