PorousFlowPorosityLinear
This Material computes porosity (at the nodes or quadpoints, depending on the at_nodes
flag) according to
(1)
Here:
is the reference porosity, which is a constant-monomial variable or a real number
, and are real-valued coefficients
is the effective fluid pressure
is the reference effective fluid pressure, which is a coupled variable (usually linear-Lagrange) or a real number
is the temperature
is the reference temperature, which is a coupled variable (usually linear-Lagrange) or a real number
is the total volumetric strain
is the reference total volumetric strain, which is a constant monomial coupled variable or a real number.
In addition, it is possible to place a lower bound on porosity: . This can be physically useful, but can also be numerically important because during Newton-Raphson iterations, the linear relationship can sometimes yield small, or even negative, values of .
Descriptions of other porosity classes can be found in the porosity documentation

- zero_modifier0.001If the linear relationship produces porosity < porosity_min, then porosity is set porosity_min. This means the derivatives of it will be zero.
