FluidType denotes the type of fluid and it is "Newtonian". Note that the non-Newtonian materials are classified as Polymer for Polymer Processing and Workpiece for Metal Extrusion. The specific heat, thermal conductivity, and viscosity can be input as functions of temperature.
The following table contains descriptions of data types for fluid material properties:
Variable Name |
Value Type |
Remarks |
FluidType |
String in quotes |
"Newtonian" = Newtonian; |
Density |
Real (Constant) |
Density of the fluid |
SpecificHeat |
Real (Constant/Function of Temp.) |
Function can be a TABLE1 or EXPRESSION |
Conductivity |
Real (Constant/Function of Temp.) |
Function can be a TABLE1 or EXPRESSION |
Viscosity |
Real (Constant/Function of Temp.) |
TABLE1 or EXPRESSIONare used only for Newtonian fluid. For non-Newtonian fluids the viscosity is computed using the model specific expressions. |
CoeffOfThermalExpansion |
Real (Constant) |
Thermal expansion coeff. |
VolumetricHeatSource |
Real(Constant) |
Value per unit volume. |
