We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

You're setting the HTC on the "outside" of the model to avoid having to model another fluid zone. If you also have tubeside condensation then it's not a simple boundary and you need to do some more thinking. 

The +/- is flow/flux in/out of the cells to "outside" with outside being where there's no mesh. So on an inlet a +ve flux is fluid entering the flow domain, a -ve value is flow leaving the modelled domain.Â
