How to set the temperature of a wall #736

It's difficult to tell from this image, but if I'm seeing things correctly I believe the walls are being treated correctly as isothermal. It appears that the temperature in the first cell adjacent to the isothermal wall has a slightly different temperature than the cells further from the wall. Note that the state variables in the plot files are cell-centered quantities interpreted as representing integrals over the cell volume. Therefore, even when the heat fluxes from the isothermal wall are appropriately computed, it takes time to affect the cells adjacent to the wall, and, depending on what is happening in the interior of the domain, the temperature in the first cell may never exactly match the temperature you are specifying for the wall. |

Greetings everyone, I followed the manual to establish an isothermal wall, yet the computational results still indicate it's an adiabatic surface. Below are some of my settings; I would greatly appreciate any advice!
