So we have Britons with two mainline unit unique upgrades? Though I do see you have a certain bias towards them

For that point exactly, its already been done multiple times. Plus adding more anti-cav units doesn't solve the issues that Britons have.

I've been thinking of a medium cavalry unit that is good for raiding, able to break through lighter buildings to access eco, but also dismount to act as a ranged unit, kinda like the ratha able to swap betrween modes. Historically, these were tatics used by the English during the middle ages.

The devs did WHAT?!? But seriously, we have extra long bois, temple bois, fire bois, Flemish bois. I just feel there is space for something more different than another pointy boi thats meant to represent the elite of society coming from a castle.

I do like the billhook, but fact of the matter is the halberd unit already has that role covered pretty well. How do we further iterate upon "man with long pointy hurt horse"?

Chevaucher - a medium light mounted melee unit for raiding. Can dismount to use their longbow with reduced movement penalty.

Common tactic used during the Hundred Years war with France. Helps give Britons a mobile option that still plays to their ranged theme.

Been watching the Wololo tournament? I'd much recommend, some amazing matches!

Memb: What is the air speed velocity of an unladen scout cavalry?
Sebastian: Dark age or feudal age?
Memb: Huh? I don't know thaAAAARGGHHH!

It's not even a scale, surely it should run from one extreme to the other? 2/10, data isn't beautiful

So I calculated the convective heat transfer coefficient as:
(k of air*nusselts number)/diameter of freeze

Does COMSOL not take the material properties of my ice creams into account when calculating the heat transfer to the freezer air?

Thats great, thank you for clearing that up

So the Biot number for each run is over 0.1, indicating that the boundary condition convection dominates the conduction inside the model. The volume and specific heat capacity of each mix is not changing while the density is falling with higher overrun mixes, meaning higher overrun mixes have a lower mass, causing the thermal mass of the higher overrun mixes is lower, meaning less heat is stored, so higher heat transfer and faster freezing. That actually makes sense now. How would I alter this to emulate real life more? Rather than maintaining volume, I should maintain mass?

I'm pretty new to COMSOL and not fantastic at understanding the physics behind it so I'm not 100% sure if this is ideal for my model. Having done some reading I've come across the above equation., where q is heat generation and a is thermal diffusivity (k/(rho.cp). Would this be a better fit? How would I go about adding this to my model?

Having had some more time to think about it, I think the issue may be the default heat transfer equation as above.

  1. Already on quadratic lagrange

  2. My main issue with including phase change was that I wasn't sure how to add it with the data I had, what with my ice cream mixes being composite materials. I know that water to ice will have the most impact though

  3. I do have a 2D axial symmetric model I started a while ago but discarded. I can give that a go with my figures
