You're reading the documentation for a development version. For the latest released version, please have a look at v4.4.0.

Parameter Dependencies

Some parameters depend on other parameters (parameter-parameter dependency) or the solution variables (parameter-state dependency). Parameter dependencies are defined in the unit operation scope.

Parameter-Parameter Dependencies

Group /input/model/unit_XXX

COL_DISPERSION_DEP

Parameter dependence of column dispersion on the interstitial velocity. Available for the LRM, LRMP and GRM units (with FV discretization only at the moment)

Type: string

Range: \(\texttt{POWER_LAW}\)

Length: 1

FILM_DIFFUSION_DEP

Parameter dependence of film diffusion on the interstitial velocity. Available for the LRMP unit (with FV discretization only at the moment)

Type: string

Range: \(\texttt{POWER_LAW}\)

Length: 1

Correlations

Different types of parameter correlations are can be applied. The following correlations can be used for all parameter-parameter dependencies, but we specify the required input fields only for COL_DISPERSION_DEP, for the sake of conciseness.

Power Law

\[\begin{aligned} p_{dep} &= p_{dep} \cdot b \ |p_{on}^x| \end{aligned}\]

Here, \(p_{dep}\) is the dependent parameter and \(p_{on}\) is the parameter it depends on.

COL_DISPERSION_DEP_BASE

Base \(b\) of the power law parameter dependence. Optional, defaults to \(1.0\)

Type: double

Range: \(\mathbb{R}\)

Length: 1

COL_DISPERSION_DEP_EXPONENT

Exponent \(x\) of the power law parameter dependence

Type: double

Range: \(\mathbb{R}\)

Length: 1

COL_DISPERSION_DEP_ABS

Specifies whether or not the absolute value should be computed. Optional, defaults to \(1\)

Type: int

Range: \(\{0, 1\}\)

Length: 1

Parameter-State Dependencies

Group /input/model/unit_XXX

Parameter-State Dependencies are not fully implemented yet.
