IncompressibleEnergySPScalarKernel
Overview
This class implements the steady-state residual of the energy equation for the Path-integrated incompressible flow model, the right-hand side of Path-Integrated Incompressible Flow Model, Eq. (5). It requires a coupled variable mass flow rate, a coupled variable upstream fluid temperature, a coupled variable downstream fluid temperature, and a coupled variable wall temperature, all given as coupled ScalarVariables. It operates on the segment temperature, :
Note, use of this kernel with transient problems also necessitates the use of a ODETimeDerivative, which includes the time derivative term, , with being the segment temperature, which adds the time derivative of the segment temperature to the residual:
This kernel takes a fluid properties object based on the SinglePhaseFluidProperties base class. It also takes functor inputs for flow area, perimeter, and length. All parameters are defined as functors, which should allow versatility in accepting a variety of input arguments. Furthermore, being functors, it is possible for them to be controlled via Controls as supplied Postprocessors, for example.
Some consideration should be given to the "is_implicit" parameter. This term allows the user to select whether the solve should be done with the current or the previous state values of functor properties. This may allow the system to evolve more slowly which may avoid some issues with respect to divergence of particularly unstable systems.
As a reminder, the system of variables should be defined with the "family" attribute set to SCALAR for each variable.
