Description

Constitutive law defining distributed flow on a line, on a surface, or in volume
Last revision: L. Grisard - sept 1990

The model

Definition of uniformly distributed flow on a line or on a surface, or in volume. This can be used in thermal analysis or in the analysis of flow in porous media.

Input file

Parameters defining the type of constitutive law

Line 1 (2I5, 60A1)
ILLaw number
ITYPE 195
COMMENT Any comment (up to 60 characters) that will be reproduced on the output listing

Integer parameters (only if NTANA=5, 13, or 15)

1 line (I5)
IDDL DDL number
For NTANA=5 or 15 → 3 = water, 4 = air, 5 = temperature
For NTANA=13 → 4 = water, 5 = air, 6 =temperature

Real parameters

1 line (2G10.0)
FLUXF Flow per unit surface
FLUXD Flow per unit surface

These data are reference values.

During the non linear analysis, FLUXF will be multiplied by the force multiplicator ALAMBF while FLUXD will be multiplied by the displacement multiplicator ALAMBD.

An outgoing flow is considered as positive.
An entering flow is considered as negative.
