Which statement correctly describes mirror symmetry boundary conditions in thermal analysis?
A. Symmetry boundary conditions require definition of convection coefficient on the faces in the plane of symmetry
B. Symmetry boundary conditions can’t be used if conduction is modeled
C. Symmetry boundary conditions do not apply to thermal analysis
D. No thermal condition must be defined on faces in the plane of symmetry
Answer : A.
(Symmetry boundary conditions require definition of convection coefficient on the faces in the plane of symmetry )
Input is convection coefficient for the mirror symmetry boundary.
