Description:Name of the variable
ScalarVariable
Returns the value of a scalar variable as a postprocessor value.

# This input file is used to demonstrate a simple open-air Brayton cycle using
# a compressor, turbine, shaft, motor, and generator.
# The flow length is divided into 5 segments as illustrated below, where
# - "(I)" denotes the inlet
# - "(C)" denotes the compressor
# - "(T)" denotes the turbine
# - "(O)" denotes the outlet
# - "*" denotes a fictitious junction
#
# Heated section
# (I)-----(C)-----*--------------*-----(T)-----(O)
# 1 2 3 4 5
#
# Initially the fluid is at rest at ambient conditions, the shaft speed is zero,
# and no heat transfer occurs with the system.
# The transient is controlled as follows:
# * 0 - 100 s: motor ramps up torque linearly from zero
# * 100 - 200 s: motor ramps down torque linearly to zero, HTC ramps up linearly from zero.
# * 200 - 300 s: (no changes; should approach steady condition)

# This is a linear model problem described in Frank et al, "Order
# results for implicit Runge-Kutta methods applied to stiff systems",
# SIAM J. Numerical Analysis, vol. 22, no. 3, 1985, pp. 515-534.
#
# Problems "PL" and "PNL" from page 527 of the paper:
# { dy1/dt = lambda*y1 + y2**p, y1(0) = -1/(lambda+p)
# { dy2/dt = -y2, y2(0) = 1
#
# The exact solution is:
# y1 = -exp(-p*t)/(lambda+p)
# y2 = exp(-t)
#
# According to the following paragraph from the reference above, the
# p=1 version of this problem should not exhibit order reductions
# regardless of stiffness, while the nonlinear version (p>=2) will
# exhibit order reductions down to the "stage order" of the method for
# lambda large, negative.
# Use Dollar Bracket Expressions (DBEs) to set the value of LAMBDA in
# a single place. You can also set this on the command line with
# e.g. LAMBDA=-4, but note that this does not seem to override the
# value set in the input file. This is a bit different from the way
# that command line values normally work...
# Note that LAMBDA == Y2_EXPONENT is not allowed!
# LAMBDA = -10
# Y2_EXPONENT = 2
