MaterialPropertyLib::RelPermBrooksCorey Class Reference

Detailed Description

Relative permeability function of the wetting phase proposed by Brooks&Corey.

This property must be a medium property, it computes the permeability reduction due to saturation as function of capillary pressure.

dValue()

PropertyDataType MaterialPropertyLib::RelPermBrooksCorey::dValue ( VariableArray const & variable_array, Variable const variable, ParameterLib::SpatialPosition const & pos, double const t, double const dt ) const

overridevirtual

This virtual method will compute the property derivative value based on the variables that are passed as arguments with the default implementation using empty variables array for the previous time step.

The default implementation of this method only returns the property value derivative without altering it.

here, an extra computation of saturation is forced, guaranteeing a correct value. In order to speed up the computing time, saturation could be inserted into the primary variable array after it is computed in the FEM assembly.
