How to define a convective heat transfer coefficient as a function of radius

      I want to add convective heat transfer coefficient as a function of radius, symmetric about the disk axis. I do not find any spatial representation apart from x,y and z. Please suggests some way/tricks to fix it.

      Regards

      Hi

      Define a cylindrical coordinate system at the centre.

      In the convection load use that coordinate system instead of the Global system, and use X which is radius in the cylindrical system (see below).

      All the best

      Erik
