Fourier's Law

    _::ConstitutiveModels.FouriersLaw,
    props,
    Δt,
    ∇θ,
    θ,

) -> Tuple{Any, Any}

Calculates the heat flux for a simple Fourier's law and also returns an empy state

$\mathbf{q} = -k\nabla\theta$

abstract type AbstractThermalModel{NP, NS} <: ConstitutiveModels.AbstractConstitutiveModel{NP, NS}

Expected abstract interface where

Inputs:

props - array of properties

Δt` - time step

∇θ - absolute temperature gradient

θ - absolute temperature

Z - current (old) state variable array

args - potentially additional arguments for special models

Ouputs:

$\mathbf{q}$ - heat flux vector

$\mathcal{Z}$ - new state variable array (different from input Z)
