cylinder#

cylinder(network, throat_diameter='throat.diameter', throat_length='throat.length')[source]#

Calculate throat volume assuing a cylindrical shape

Parameters:: network (OpenPNM Network object)

throat_diameterstr: Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of throat diameter values.
throat_lengthstr: Name of the dictionary key on network containing the ndarray of throat length values.

Returns:: volumes – A numpy ndarray containing throat volume values
Return type:: ndarray

Notes

This models does not account for the volume reprsented by the intersection of the throat with a spherical pore body. Use the lens or pendular_ring models in addition to this one to account for this volume.
