A wall with a prescribed locally variable heatflux via a heat transfer coefficient and and a Temperature at infinity (or reservoir Temperature) is defined with the `MARKER_HEATTRANSFER` option. The heatflux `q` computes to `q = h(T_inf - T_wall)`. The option format is the marker name followed by the value of the heat-transfer coefficient (in Watts per square meter and Kelvin `[W/(m^2*K)],[J/(s*m^2*K)]`) and the value of the Temperature at infinity (in Kelvin `[K]`), e.g.

The heatflux `q` computes to `q = h(T_inf - T_wall)`, where `T_wall` is the local wall temperature and therefore no user input.
