Variation of properties of the fluid

Thermal_engg · June 5, 2013, 02:14

Hello everyone,
Is there any way by which I can vary the properties(specific heat,conductivity..etc.) of the fluid used during simulation as the properties will vary with temperature and just setting them once in the "Materials" window makes them constant which I don't want to do.Any help is appreciated.Thnx

It is possible in the materials dialogue box, in the drop down menu that shows constant properties by default. You can try polynomial/piecewise linear etc profiles.
