It has a higher thermal conductivity in the direction normal to the excitation plane compared to in-plane thermal conductivities. For example, for portion 1,&nbsp; the thermal conductivity is higher in the z-direction. For portion 2, thermal conductivity is higher in the z-y direction. Since the excitation plane changes direction at different parts of the coil, the coil has a varying thermal conductivity in XYZ directions along its path.<\/p>\n<p>Can you help me to define this anisotropic changing thermal conductivity for this geometry in ANSYS Fluent?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"thermal conductivity\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/08-01-2023-1673206685-excitation.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-245857","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["54624","15180","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.192.164.18"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1603"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["245857"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","15180","54624"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["246170"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["246170"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-01-11 10:04:22"]},"test":"cakalwisc-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/245857","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\/245857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
