As boundary conditions, I assigned top wall surface of soil block a fixed temperature of 70C and bottom wall a fixed temperature of 31.4C. However, when I ran the simulation and plotted temperature along the vertical depth of the block in a xy plot , I found something interesting. If I plot <strong>total temperature <\/strong>against depth, then the temperature of top and bottom surface values are not equal to 70C and 31.4C. Instead they were 68C and 31.6C. However, if I plot <strong>static temperature <\/strong>against depth, then the temperature of top and bottom surface values are indeed equal to 70C and 31.4C.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure why this is happening. What exactly is the difference between total and static temperature here? So does this mean I have to use <strong>static temperature<\/strong><em> <\/em> when plotting and avoid using <strong>total temperature<\/strong>? I just want to get temperature variation with depth of solid block .<\/p>\n<p>Your kind advice would be highly appreciated!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166351","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-post-processing","topic-tag-temperature","topic-tag-xy-plot"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["3423"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["253866"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["166351"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["5976","22555","179749"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["205336"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["205336"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-02-15 07:28:44"]},"test":"vsjay3"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166351\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
