#### 3.2.8.1. Thermal Energy Flow Through a Solid Boundary

When a solid domain is included, CFX-Solver Manager reports the thermal energy that flows into and out of the solid, across existing boundaries. If the solid has a source term, the total thermal energy added is included in the output file, along with the global imbalance.

The section for thermal energy at a solid boundary looks similar to the following:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |         Boundary T-Energy - 2 Flow and Total Source Term Summary   |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
    Boundary   : Default Solid               0.0000E+00
    Boundary   : Default Fluid Solid2       -3.0742E+06
    Subdomain  : heater                      3.0685E+06
                                             -----------
    Global T-Energy - 2 Balance:            -5.6725E+03
    Global Imbalance, in %:                                      -0.1852 %

#### 3.2.8.2. Thermal Energy Flow Between the Fluid and Solid within a Porous Domain

When a solid in a porous domain is included, CFX-Solver Manager reports the thermal energy that flows between the fluid and the solid (`Domain Src (Neg)` in the sample below), and from the solid into and out of existing boundaries (`Boundary` in the sample below). If the solid has a source term, the total thermal energy (`Sub-Domain` in the sample below) that is added is included in the output file, along with the global imbalance.

The section for thermal energy for a solid in a porous domain looks similar to the following:

    +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |         Boundary T-Energy - 2 Flow and Total Source Term Summary   |
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
    Boundary         : Default Solid                          -4.9569E+00
    Boundary         : Default Fluid Solid2                   -3.4767E+00
    Domain Src (Neg) : Porous                                 -1.3999E+00
    Domain Src (Pos) : Porous                                  5.8335E+00
    Sub-Domain       : Porous Subdomain 1                      4.0001E+00
                                                              -----------
    Domain Imbalance :                                         5.1498E-05

    Domain Imbalance, in %:                                      0.0009 %
