TPLV304 - Distribution of the temperature in one
bar square section
Summary:
This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in linear stationary thermics.
It aims to validate the voluminal thermal elements under conditions of convection and of
imposed temperature.
The reference solution is based on an analytical approach.
