◆ area()

template<class Scalar >
static Scalar Dumux::FluidMatrix::InterfacialAreaPcMax::area ( const Scalar  swe,
const Scalar  pc,
const Params< Scalar > &  params 
)
inlinestatic

The interfacial area.

the suggested (as estimated from pore network models) interfacial area between the nonwetting and wetting phase: \(\mathrm{ a_{wn} = a_{1} (p_{c { \sf max} } - p_{c}) (1-S_{w}) + a_{2} (p_{c {\sf max} } -p_{c})^2 (1-S_{w}) + a_{3} (p_{c {\sf max} }- p_{c}) (1-S_{w})^2 }\)

Parameters
sweEffective saturation of the wetting phase
pcCapillary pressure in \(\mathrm{[Pa]}\)
paramsparameter container for the coefficients of the surface

◆ makeParams()

template<class Scalar = double>
static Params< Scalar > Dumux::FluidMatrix::InterfacialAreaPcMax::makeParams ( const std::string &  paramGroup)
inlinestatic

Construct from a subgroup from the global parameter tree.

Note
This will give you nice error messages if a mandatory parameter is missing
