Abstract

This paper describes a new library designed for modeling convective flows in physical systems. The library is based on bond graph technology. Thermo-bonds are introduced as a means to capture the convective flow of the internal energy of matter through a physical system. ThermoBondLib is a companion library to the BondLib and MultiBondLib libraries that were released in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
