Bug in CGP heat transfer?

Several reasons caused the mismatch between W8 and W27. The following steps can minimize the differences in your cases:

  1. Using constant temperature BC for both the gas phase and solid phase.
  2. Provide the actual Young’s modulus, e.g. 78e9
  3. use the same “flpc” in different cases. LENS_RAD = MAX_RAD * (1.0D0 + FLPC)
  4. Other hydrodynamics related parameters, such as interpolation and revision of restitution coefficient

Summary:
The model is accurate for convection-dominated cases and the errors in conduction-dominated cases are larger. Your previous setup leads to high ratios of conduction/convection.
