My method is to partition the domain such that a cylinder exists inside the volumetric domain. Consequently, I have 2 sets of interfaces: one for the cylinder and one for the domain outside the cylinder. Within the cylinder, I specify an user-defined-scalar such that my user source value in [W] meets a specific value. I check this value by going to Flux report &gt;&gt; Total heat transfer rate &gt;&gt; select boundaries_in_cylinder_region.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Since the output is in [W], can I assume that the user specified value from the flux report is solely for the quarter cylinder? In other words, is this value independent of periodicocity?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>When comparing the fully revolved case with the periodic BC case, the temperature flow fields look different. I checked my boundary conditions and I&#8217;m confident I specificed the periodic BCs correctly. I&#8217;m struggling with identifying what is causing the difference in temperature profiles. Do you think this is an outcome of symmetry?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&lt;p&gt;In this plot:&nbsp;The periodic BC has a UDS energy input of 124 kW and the fully revolved case has a UDS energy input of 2 MW. I did compare the plots with the same UDS values, however the flow fields still take on this shape.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you again so much&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/19-11-2024-1732053784-mceclip1.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/19-11-2024-1732053824-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-394401","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/394401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/394401\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
