circles_and_rectangles#

circles_and_rectangles(network, pore_diameter='pore.diameter', throat_diameter='throat.diameter')[source]#

Calculates conduit lengths in the network assuming pores are circles and throats are rectangles.

A conduit is defined as ( 1/2 pore - full throat - 1/2 pore ).

Parameters:

network (OpenPNM Network object)

pore_diameterstr

Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of pore diameter values.

throat_diameterstr

Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of throat diameter values.

Notes

This model should only be used for true 2D networks, i.e. with planar symmetry.
