4.10.3.1 Starling Equation
The material type for Starling's equation for fluid supply is “Starling”. The following material parameters need to be defined:
<kp> | hydraulic filtration coefficient, | [L /F t] |
<pv> | effective fluid pressure in external source, | [P] |
<qc sol=”n”> | osmotic filtration coefficient, | [L /n t] |
<cv sol=”n”> | effective solute concentration in external source, | [n/L ] |
The fluid supply is given by Starling's equation, where is the effective fluid pressure in the multiphasic material.
Example:
This example defines a solvent supply material of the Starling type for a multiphasic mixture containing one solute.
<solvent_supply type="Starling"> <kp>0.001</kp> <pv>0.1</pv> <qc sol="1">1e-5</qc> <cv sol="1">150</cv> </solvent_supply>
