static Scalar Dumux::FluidMatrix::InterfacialAreaExponentialCubic::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 solid phase: \(\mathrm{ a_{ns} = a_1 e^{a_2 * S_w } + a_3 * p_c^3 ; }\)

Parameters

swe	Effective saturation of the wetting phase
pc	Capillary pressure in \(\mathrm{[Pa]}\)
params	parameter container for the coefficients of the surface

static Params< Scalar > Dumux::FluidMatrix::InterfacialAreaExponentialCubic::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
