represents a mass flux boundary condition with local parameters specified in pars[lkey].

Details

  • MassFluxValue specifies a boundary condition for MassTransportPDEComponent and is used as part of the modeling equation:
  • MassFluxValue is typically used to model mass species flow through a boundary caused by a species source or sink outside of the domain.
  • A flow rate is the flow of a quantity like energy or mass per time. Flux is the flow rate through the boundary and is measured in the units of the quantity per area per time. A millimeter of rain per cross section of opening area per hour is a rain flux.
  • MassFluxValue models the rate of mass species flowing through some part of the boundary with dependent variable in [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], {"mol", , "/", , {"m", ^, 3}}, moles per meter cubed, {{(, "Moles", )}, /, {(, {"Meters", ^, 3}, )}}}, QuantityTF]], independent variables in [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], "m", meters, "Meters"}, QuantityTF]] and time variable in [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], "s", seconds, "Seconds"}, QuantityTF]].
  • Stationary variables vars are vars={c[x1,…,xn],{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Time-dependent variables vars are vars={c[t,x1,…,xn],t,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • The non-conservative time-dependent mass transport model MassTransportPDEComponent is based on a convection-diffusion model with mass diffusivity , mass convection velocity vector , mass reaction rate and mass source term :
  • The conservative time-dependent mass transport model MassTransportPDEComponent is based on a conservative convection-diffusion model given by:
  • In the non-conservative form, MassFluxValue with mass flux in and boundary unit normal models:
  • In the conservative form, MassFluxValue models:
  • Model parameters pars as specified for MassTransportPDEComponent.
  • The following additional model parameters pars can be given:
  • parameterdefaultsymbol
    "BoundaryUnitNormal"Automatic
    "MassFlux"
  • 0
    		• , mass flux [TemplateBox[{InterpretationBox[, 1], {"mol", , "/(", , "m", , "s", , ")"}, moles per meter second, {{(, "Moles", )}, /, {(, {"Meters", , "Seconds"}, )}}}, QuantityTF]]
    "ModelForm""NonConservative"-
  • All model parameters may depend on any of , and , as well as other dependent variables.
  • To localize model parameters, a key lkey can be specified, and values from association pars[lkey] are used for model parameters.
  • MassFluxValue evaluates to a NeumannValue.
  • The boundary predicate pred can be specified as in NeumannValue.
  • If the MassFluxValue depends on parameters that are specified in the association pars as …,keypi…,pivi,…], the parameters are replaced with .
