PoreFluidExpansion object

The PoreFluidExpansion object specifies the thermal expansion coefficient for a hydraulic fluid.

This page discusses:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].poreFluidExpansion()

PoreFluidExpansion(...)

This method creates a PoreFluidExpansion object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].PoreFluidExpansion

Prototype

odb_PoreFluidExpansion&
PoreFluidExpansion(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
                   double zero,
                   bool temperatureDependency,
                   int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

zero

A Double specifying the value of θ0. The default value is 0.0.

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

  • Mean coefficient of thermal expansion, α.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A PoreFluidExpansion object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The PoreFluidExpansion object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the PoreFluidExpansion method.
