3.9.1 Alphabetical Listing of Field Variables and Their Definitions (Section 31.4)

The following definition needs to be modified:

Total Temperature   (in the Temperature... category) is the temperature at the thermodynamic state that would exist if the fluid were brought to zero velocity. For compressible flows, the total temperature is computed from the total enthalpy using the current $c_p$ method (specified in the Create/Edit Materials dialog box). For incompressible flows, the total temperature is equal to the static temperature, unless kinetic energy is explicitly added. The unit quantity for Total Temperature is temperature.
