C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundary IDs from the mesh where this object applies

C++ Type:unsigned int
Controllable:No
Description:Index of the connected flow channel

C++ Type:std::string
Controllable:No
Description:Junction component name
ADFlowJunctionFlux1Phase
This post-processor is used to query an entry in the flux vector for a 1-phase flow junction. The user specifies the boundary of the flow channel connected to the junction via boundary, along with the name of the junction component with the junction parameter. The parameter connection_index corresponds to the index of the given boundary within the connections parameter of the junction component (starting with index 0). Lastly, the queried entry within the flux vector is chosen via the equation parameter.
Troubleshooting
Note that if you get an error message like the following:
*** ERROR ***
Unable to find user object with name 'my_junction:junction_uo'
then this means that the supplied junction parameter is not valid, either because the component does not exist or is not a valid junction. In the latter case, please contact the THM team for assistance.

# * 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.

# 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)

# Heat is supplied to the system by a volumetric heat source, and a second heat

#
# Initially the fluid and heat structures are at rest at ambient conditions,
# and the shaft speed is zero.
# The transient is controlled as follows:
# * 0 - 2000 s: Motor increases shaft speed to approx. 85,000 RPM by PID control
# * 1000 - 8600 s: Power in main heat source increases from 0 - 104 kW
# * 2000 - 200000 s: Torque supplied by turbine increases to steady state level
# as working fluid temperature increases. Torque supplied by
# the motor is ramped down to 0 N-m transitioning shaft control
# to the turbine at its rated speed of 96,000 RPM.
