KKSPhaseConcentration

KKS model kernel to enforce the decomposition of concentration into phase concentration (1-h(eta))ca + h(eta)cb - c = 0. The non-linear variable of this kernel is cb.

Enforces the split of the concentration into the phase concentrations, weighted by the switching function. The non-linear variable of this Kernel is .
