flow.HeldTemperature
flow.HeldTemperature(nodes, value=0.0)Cells pinned at a temperature, whatever the flow does around them.
The lattice counterpart of :class:~cadjoint.fem.study.Dirichlet, and like it a modelling shortcut with teeth: a held region is an infinite heat source or sink, so a study that pins the fins is back to the fiction a flow study exists to remove. Its honest uses are a cold plate with a real chiller behind it, and verification – the analytic advection-diffusion column in tests/flow/test_energy.py is set up with one.
