This TYCHO simulation shows a fractal-shaped model in a windchannel. The windspeed is 1 m/s the simulation gives 0.1 sec of realtime. The computational domain is 2D and is 1 m at the long side. In the short video the temperature disribution of the gas is shown in the range of 300 to 400 [K]. At the beginning the gas has 300 [K] and the fractal-shaped obstacle has 1000 [K]. Due to the fractal shaped obstacle a hot gas cushion forms around the obstacle, which acts like a thermal protection for the obstacle.

This example is part of the TYCHO package. The initial conditions and the parameterfile are in the example directory of the download version.
