3) Quarter tube section under pressure and heat conduction

This is a quarter tube section either under pressure or different temperature on inner and outer boundaries. (Any circular arc section could have been taken for symmetry reasons, of course). A schematic drawing is given in Fig.1 together with the computational grid in Fig.2.

It can be seen in Fig.3 that the symmetric boundary conditions are fulfilled.
