Neumann boundary condition

Neumann boundary condition is a type of boundary condition, where gradient of a variable is given to boundary faces. It is also referred to as second-type boundary condition.

As the concept of adiabatic condition is equivalent to the situation where there is no temperature gradient, it can be expressed using Neumann boundary condition below:

where;
: Temperature
: Normal direction
