Description Done for a visualisation project.

The temperature within the cavity is presented with the heated panel on the left and the cold panel on the right, viewed from a cross-section through the middle of the graph. As can be seen, along the unheated walls temperature distribution changes uniformly, in a stripe from red near the heated wall to blue by the cooled wall. In the foreground iso-surfaces display the effect of convection currents on the heated and cooled air. The warm air rises up the hot side wall and then 'plumes' across at the top in the middle. Similarly the cold air sinks and moves right to left.
