This block contains information on molecular transport models

Warning

This block is mandatory for all simulations.

Flags Overview

Note

All flags and their description are included in the table below. A detailed description of which values are possible for each input flag follows.

Flag Required Description
MOLTRANS_LIB Yes determine which model is used for transport computation
DIF_SORET Yes determine whether to activate Soret effect in the computation
DIF_DUFOUR Yes determine whether to activate Dufour effect in the computation
DIF_MULTI Yes determine whether to activate multi-component diffusion model
DIF_ULEWIS Yes determine whether to activate unity Lewis number diffusion model
VOL_VISC Yes determine whether to consider volume viscosity
EGLIB_MODEL_NUM Yes determine which EGLIB model is used
EGLIB_SCALE_FACTOR Yes determine the scale factor for the EGLIB model
VISCOSITY_CTRL Yes determine whether to control the viscosity
