MARKER_HEATFLUX = (Wall1, 1e05, Wall2, 0.0)
```

**Note**: Typically Navier-Stokes and RANS simulations are setup with adiabatic walls (heatflux = 0).
Instead of a constant heatflux (in `[W/m^2]`), a constant rate of heat flow (in `[W]`) can be prescribed by additionally adding the option `INTEGRATED_HEATFLUX= YES`. For the above `MARKER_HEATFLUX`, lets consider that `Wall1` has a surface area of 0.3 `[m^2]` then one could equivalently prescribe
```
MARKER_HEATFLUX = (Wall1, 0.3e05, Wall2, 0.0)
```

when additionally using the `INTEGRATED_HEATFLUX= YES` option. In the case of a DOE or an optimization this prescription of a rate of heat flow might be the more natural boundary condition.

**Notes**:
1. Typically Navier-Stokes and RANS simulations are setup with adiabatic walls (heatflux = 0).
2. `INTEGRATED_HEATFLUX` is not available for `FEM_NAVIER_STOKES`.
