Detailed Description

Thermal-shell finite-area model. It solves the energy equation in 2D. The coupling with the 3D region is done through the temperatureCoupledBase, plus faOption is available to add extra sources on the shell such as externalHeatFluxSource etc.

Usage
Example of the boundary condition specification:
