Abstract In recent years, significant effort has been placed into developing automated multi-physics simulation. The exchange of boundary conditions has lead
to more realistic as well as more complex simulations with usually slower convergence rate when the coupling is being performed between two
different codes. In this paper the equations of local sensitivities for element centered steady-state combined convection, conduction, and thermal
radiation problems are being derived. A numerical analysis on the stability of the solution matrix is being conducted. Partial uncertainties and the
relative importance of the heat transfer modes are investigated by their uncertainty factors and conclusions are being… More >
