The heatflux `q` computes to `q = h(T_inf - T_wall)`, where `T_wall` is the local wall temperature and therefore no user input. The option format is the marker name followed by the value of the heat-transfer coefficient (in Watts per square meter and Kelvin `[W/(m^2*K)],[J/(s*m^2*K)]`) and the value of the Temperature at infinity (in Kelvin `[K]`), e.g. +``` +MARKER_HEATTRANSFER = (Wall1, 10.0, 350.0, Wall2, 5.0, 330.0, ...) +``` + +**Note**: The Heat Transfer Wall degenerates to an adiabatic wall when the heat transfer coefficient is zero.
