Summary

Details

For thermal boundary conditions the flow log file shows several columns of 

data. The first three columns are self explanatory but I cannot find a 

description for the last two. What are FSF and TCP? 

Thermal Boundary Condition Type Value FSF TCP 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 1 - THERMAL BOUNDARY CONDIT Temperature 2.000E+02 F No No 
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution

 "FSF" refers to "flow surface" and "TCP" refers to "thermal coupling". Note 

that "No" means that the selection for this thermal boundary condition is not 

part of a flow surface / thermal coupling, "Yes" means that a subset of the 

selection is part of a flow surface / thermal coupling, and "All" means that 

all of the selection is part of a flow surface / thermal coupling.
