DiffusiveFlux

Returns the diffusive flux of the specified species

Overview

DiffusiveFlux returns the diffusive flux of a species in logarithmic form.

The diffusive flux is defined as

Where is the diffusive flux, is the diffusion coefficient and is the density. When converting the density to logarithmic form and applying a scaling factor of the mesh, DiffusiveFlux is defined as

Where is the molar density of the specie in logarithmic form, is Avogadro's number, is the scaling factor of the mesh.

Input Parameters

  • density_logThe variable representing the log of the density.

    C++ Type:std::vector<VariableName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The variable representing the log of the density.

  • position_unitsUnits of position.

    C++ Type:double

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Units of position.

  • variableThe name of the variable that this object applies to

    C++ Type:AuxVariableName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The name of the variable that this object applies to

Required Parameters

  • blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

  • boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

  • check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

  • component0The component of position. (0 = x, 1 = y, 2 = z)

    Default:0

    C++ Type:int

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The component of position. (0 = x, 1 = y, 2 = z)

  • execute_onLINEAR TIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.

    Default:LINEAR TIMESTEP_END

    C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Options:NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR_CONVERGENCE, NONLINEAR, POSTCHECK, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_END, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM, PRE_DISPLACE

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • seed0The seed for the master random number generator

    Default:0

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The seed for the master random number generator

  • use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool
