Hello,

I need the heat flux distribution of the aircraft.
But,I was a confuse about the output file of heat flux.

(1) Did the "h" in the surface_flow.dat mean the heat flux? or enthalpy?
If it is heatflux and I chose the SI unit, it's unit = W/m^2 , right?


(2)Somebody said if I want to get it, I need to set the B.C.
to MARKER_ISOTHERMAL.
But,I choose either MARKER_HEATFLUX or MARKER_ISOTHERMAL , it will output "h"....

So...anyone could help me about this problem? How can I get the heat flux , not total heat flux?

Thank you ~
