IncompressibleMomentumSPScalarKernel

Overview

This class derives from IncompressibleMomentumSPBase and implements the steady-state residual of the momentum equation for the Path-integrated incompressible flow model, the right-hand side of Path-Integrated Incompressible Flow Model, Eq. (4). It requires a coupled variable characteristic pressure drop and coupled fluid temperature variables for each segment, given as coupled ScalarVariables. It operates on the mass flow rate, :

Note, use of this kernel with transient problems also necessitates the use of a ODETimeDerivative, which includes the time derivative term, , with being the mass flow rate, which adds the time derivative of the mass flow rate to the residual.

As a reminder, the system of variables should be defined with the "family" attribute set to SCALAR for each variable.
