Description

template<class ScalarT>
class Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >

Specification of the material parameters for the van Genuchten-Mualem constitutive relations.

In this implementation setting either the $\mathrm{n}$ or $\mathrm{m}$ shape parameter automatically calculates the other. I.e. they cannot be set independently.

operator==()

template<class ScalarT >

template<class OtherParams >

bool Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::operator== ( const OtherParams &  otherParams ) const

inline

Equality comparison with another set of params.

setVgAlpha()

template<class ScalarT >

void Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::setVgAlpha ( Scalar  v )

inline

Set the $\mathrm{\alpha}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[1/Pa]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

setVgl()

template<class ScalarT >

void Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::setVgl ( Scalar  l )

inline

Set the pore-connectivity parameter $\mathrm{l}$ ( $\mathrm{[-]}$) of Mualem's relative permeability curve.

Note

In the orignal Mualem (1976) paper the pore-connectivity parameter is called "n". It's referred to as "l" in several later publication of van Genuchten, e.g. van Genuchten (1991), Shaap & van Genuchten (2006).

setVgm()

template<class ScalarT >

void Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::setVgm ( Scalar  m )

inline

Set the $\mathrm{m}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[-]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

The $\mathrm{n}$ shape parameter is set to $\mathrm{n = \frac{1}{1 - m}}$

setVgn()

template<class ScalarT >

void Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::setVgn ( Scalar  n )

inline

Set the $\mathrm{n}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[-]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

The $\mathrm{n}$ shape parameter is set to $\mathrm{m = 1 - \frac{1}{n}}$

vgAlpha()

template<class ScalarT >

Scalar Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::vgAlpha ( ) const

inline

Return the $\mathrm{\alpha}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[1/Pa]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

vgl()

template<class ScalarT >

Scalar Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::vgl ( ) const

Return the $\mathrm{n}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[-]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

vgm()

template<class ScalarT >

Scalar Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::vgm ( ) const

inline

Return the $\mathrm{m}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[-]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.

vgn()

template<class ScalarT >

Scalar Dumux::VanGenuchtenParams< ScalarT >::vgn ( ) const

inline

Return the $\mathrm{n}$ shape parameter $\mathrm{[-]}$ of van Genuchten's curve.
