ArrheniusDiffusionCoef

Computes a two-term Arrhenius diffusion coefficient

Description

This material computes a two-term Arrhenius diffusion coefficient. Mass diffusion coefficients are defined using an equation with the Arrhenius form (Miller et al., 2009)

where is a pre-exponential factor, is the activation energy, is the universal gas constant, and is temperature.

The parameters d1, d2, q1 and q2 are declared as controllable parameters. Their values can be modified during runtime with the Controls System.

The parameters d1, d2, q1 and q2 can also be multilied by a factor function if d1_function, d2_function, q1_function and q2_function are provided, respectively. The variables that are used to evaluate those functions can be specified by function_variable, which defaults to be time.
