FourierConduction#

class FourierConduction(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

A subclass of LinearTransport to simulate heat conduction

Attributes:
A

The coefficient matrix, A (in Ax = b)

Np

Shortcut to retrieve the number of pores in the domain

Nt

Shortcut to retrieve the number of throats in the domain

Ps

Shortcut to retrieve the indices of all pores

Ts

Shortcut to retrieve the indices of all throats

b

The right-hand-side (RHS) vector, b (in Ax = b)

iterative_props

Finds and returns properties that need to be iterated while running the algorithm.

name
network

Shortcut to retrieve a handle to the network object associated with the

params

This attribute stores ‘scalar’ data that can be used by pore-scale models.

project
settings
x

Shortcut to the solution currently stored on the algorithm.

Methods

clear_BCs([bctype])

Clear all BCs of the given type(s)

clear_rate_BCs()

Clears all rate BCs

clear_value_BCs()

Clears all value BCs.

filter_by_label([pores, throats, labels, mode])

Returns which of the supplied pores (or throats) has the specified label(s)

get_conduit_data(propname)

Fetches an Nt-by-3 array of the requested property

interpolate_data(propname[, mode])

throats([labels, mode, asmask])

Returns throat locations where given labels exist, according to the logic specified by the mode argument.

to_indices(mask)

Converts a boolean mask to pore or throat indices

to_mask([pores, throats])

Generates a boolean mask with True values in the given locations
