thermal isotropy

Thermal isotropy means that heat is spread evenly in all directions within a material or environment. In other words, temperature distribution is uniform regardless of where or how you measure it. If a object or space is thermally isotropic, it doesn’t have hot spots or cold spots; the thermal properties are the same in every direction. This concept is important in understanding heat transfer, as it often simplifies calculations and predictions, ensuring that heat flows equally in all directions without preferential paths or directional differences.
