PorousFlowPropertyAux

AuxKernel to provide access to properties evaluated at quadpoints. Note that elemental AuxVariables must be used, so that these properties are integrated over each element.

This AuxKernel provides simplified access to fluid and material properties. The following properties are available using the property input parameter:

  • pressure

  • saturation

  • temperature

  • density

  • viscosity

  • mass_fraction

  • relperm

  • capillary_pressure

  • enthalpy

  • internal_energy

  • secondary_concentration (m(secondary species)/m(fluid))

  • mineral_concentration (m(secondary species)/m(porous material))

  • mineral_reaction_rate (m(secondary species).m(porous material).s))

  • porosity

  • permeability

  • hystersis_order

  • hysteresis_saturation_turning_point

  • hysteretic_info — see PorousFlowHystereticInfo

The fluid phase and fluid component are specified in the phase and fluid_component input parameters, respectively. For properties related to chemical reactions, the secondary_species and mineral_species parameters are relevant. For hysteresis_saturation_turning_point the hysteresis_turning_point number is relevant.

commentnote

As this AuxKernel uses material properties, only elemental (Monomial) AuxVariables can be used.
