This all looks great to me. It might be nice to have a test that checks the heat flux is actually changing over a varying k. It's a potentially non-trivial test to implement and I think this is a simple enough change that we could get a way without it. I'll leave it up to you!
I think it would be best to have the test before we forget about it. I'll work it this week! Also, a good opportunity to work my way around the test system. |
…rnel rather than an AuxKernel
Summary
This PR updates the
HeatFluxAuxby changing the input constant conductivity with an optional parameterdiffusion_coefficient, which mirrors that in the HeatConduction kernel, with a default to thethermal_conductivityproperty set in the materials. The tests have been updated to reflect this change (by deleting the line specifying the thermal conductivity in theAuxkernel).Related Issue
