LayeredFlowAreaChange

buildconstruction:Undocumented Class

The LayeredFlowAreaChange has not been documented. The content contained on this page includes the typical automatic documentation associated with a MooseObject; however, what is contained is ultimately determined by what is necessary to make the documentation clear for users.

This layered user object computes the change in cross sectional area of a flow channel from the displacement variables. Note: the convention isthat reduction in flow area is negative. For this to be satisfied, normals mustpoint INTO the flow channel.

  • layer_bounding_blockList of block ids (SubdomainID) that are used to determine the upper and lower geometric bounds for all layers. If this is not specified, the ids specified in 'block' are used for this purpose.

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

    Controllable:No

    Description:List of block ids (SubdomainID) that are used to determine the upper and lower geometric bounds for all layers. If this is not specified, the ids specified in 'block' are used for this purpose.

  • num_layersThe number of layers.

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Controllable:No

    Description:The number of layers.

  • positive_cumulative_directionTrueWhen 'cumulative' is true, whether the direction for summing the cumulative value is the positive direction or negative direction

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:When 'cumulative' is true, whether the direction for summing the cumulative value is the positive direction or negative direction

  • 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

    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.

  • sample_typedirectHow to sample the layers. 'direct' means get the value of the layer the point falls in directly (or average if that layer has no value). 'interpolate' does a linear interpolation between the two closest layers. 'average' averages the two closest layers.

    Default:direct

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:direct, interpolate, average

    Controllable:No

    Description:How to sample the layers. 'direct' means get the value of the layer the point falls in directly (or average if that layer has no value). 'interpolate' does a linear interpolation between the two closest layers. 'average' averages the two closest layers.

Optional Parameters
