The Convective Resistor component models a linear heat convection between solid geometries and fluid flow over the solid using a convective thermal resistance controlled by an input signal.

$Q_{\mathrm{flow}}\=Q_{{\mathrm{flow}}_{\mathrm{solid}}}\=-Q_{{\mathrm{flow}}_{\mathrm{fluid}}}$

$\Delta T\=T_{\mathrm{solid}}-T_{\mathrm{fluid}}\=R_c{Q}_{\mathrm{flow}}$
