Description

This variable is the thermal inertia of the upper material.

Units - Change Card Index

Units: J m-2 s-1/2 K-1


Change Card Index: 1 3

Usage

Layer 1 is the atmosphere. This material property begins at layer 2 and continues until it is switched at the layer set by the variable "IC".

Example Value

1000

Mini-Nav Bar

Related Variables

Supported under version: 2.3.2

Parameter Variable and Physical Definition

Surface Thermal Inertia: The reluctance of a material to change temperature through heat transfer.


Davinci Usage

Definition:
  • Thermal Inertia Value of the top layer of the surface
Values:
  • Input = Real Value Parameter
  • Units: J m-2 s-1/2 K-1
  • Range = Greater than 0
  • Default Value = Value from 2 ppd TES
Input Parameter Name:
  • INERTIA


KRC Usage

Definition:
