titleGeneral Case Information:Overview

This circle boundary layer case demonstrates the method of manufactured solutions in which an analytical heat source is derived from an analytical expression of the thermal boundary layer. This derived heat source is applied to a vortex flow around a circular annulus of radius r = [ 1 , 2 ], and the numerical heat flux at the inner boundary is checked with the analytical heat flux to a specified tolerance. All boundary temperatures are set to the analytical thermal boundary layer solution, and the initial condition is set to 1.
