Detailed Description

Base class for transport property managers.

All classes that compute transport properties for a single phase derive from this class. Class Transport is meant to be used as a base class only. It is possible to instantiate it, but its methods throw exceptions if called.

Relationship of the Transport class to the ThermoPhase Class

This section describes how calculations are carried out within the Transport class. The Transport class and derived classes of the the Transport class necessarily use the ThermoPhase class to obtain the list of species and the thermodynamic state of the phase.

No state information is stored within Transport classes. Queries to the underlying ThermoPhase object must be made to obtain the state of the system.

An exception to this however is the state information concerning the the gradients of variables. This information is not stored within the ThermoPhase objects. It may be collected within the Transport objects. In fact, the meaning of const operations within the Transport class refers to calculations which do not change the state of the system nor the state of the first order gradients of the system.

When a const operation is evoked within the Transport class, it is also implicitly assumed that the underlying state within the ThermoPhase object has not changed its values.

Todo:: Provide a general mechanism to store the gradients of state variables within the system.

Member Function Documentation

◆ transportModel()

virtual string transportModel ( ) const

Every transport manager is designed to compute properties for a specific phase of a mixture, which might be a liquid solution, a gas mixture, a surface, etc. This method returns a reference to the object representing the phase itself.
