generic_electrical(phase, pore_conductivity='pore.electrical_conductivity', throat_conductivity='throat.electrical_conductivity', size_factors='throat.diffusive_size_factors')[source]#

Calculate the electrical conductance of conduits in network, where a conduit is ( 1/2 pore - full throat - 1/2 pore ). See the notes section.

Parameters:

  • phase (OpenPNM Phase object) – The phase object to which this model is associated (i.e. attached). This controls the length of the calculated array(s), and also provides access to other necessary properties.

  • pore_conductivity (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of pore electrical conductivity

  • throat_conductivity (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of throat electrical conductivity

  • size_factors (str) – Name of the dictionary key on the target object pointing to the array containing values of conduit diffusive size factors

Returns:

values – A numpy ndarray containing the computed values of electrical conductance

Return type:

ndarray
