I am trying to model the temperature in foods rotating in a microwave oven. Under the Microwave Heating node, I see that Translational Motion can be chosen. But the equations for the translational motion describe energy transfer by a convective current, given by the vector u. I saw in the brake model how this works as the motion of the brake disc takes the heat away from the source. But such a "current" is not occurring with food rotating in a microwave oven. My problem can be best described as a stationary food object experiencing a time-variant heat source distribution. However the only way to calculate how the heat source distribution varies is to allow the food to move in the oven and recalculate the electromagnetic field to obtain the new distribution. Can such movement be done in a straightforward manner or is something more complex called for, such as parameterizing the food location and somehow retaining and remeshing the problem for a constantly shifting geometry? Thank you in advance for any help.
