NovaThermal Library

Thermal engineering, backed by a validated solver

Every value here comes from the same verified NovaThermal engine that powers ThermalResults — not textbook approximations. Browse the material tables, study worked examples, then run your own in the console.

Engine-linked, not a calculator. These pages publish the solver's own data and outputs. Interactive analyses run in the ThermalResults console.

The exact thermal property tables the solver uses — conductivity, specific heat, density, CTE, emissivity, absorptivity — with sources.

Worked example

Nucleation and seeding

A 50x cooling-rate sweep on the cuvette end plate. The axial-to-lateral gradient ratio stays near 1.6x, so a faster quench cannot buy axial order: the end-face geometry has to.

Worked example

Directional solidification

Bridgman DMSO cuvette: watch the freezing front sweep four thermocouples in succession — animated real solver output with the sensor S-curves.

Console

Conduction on a part

FEM conduction on real geometry. Worked example with the live 3D field — coming to the library; runnable now in the console.
