4.8.3.1 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> | fluid pressure in external source, | [P] |
The fluid supply is given by Starling's equation, where is the fluid pressure in the biphasic material.
Example:
This example defines a fluid supply material of the Starling type.
<solvent_supply type="Starling"> <kp>0.001</kp> <pv>0.1</pv> </solvent_supply>
