Version v1.1 introduces:
- The proper energy equation.
- Tabulated specific heat constant/cpTable.
- Tabulated thermal conductivity constant/kappaTable.
- Elastic solidification defined by constant/solidificationProperties.
Input specific heat J/kgK (kappaTable) at constant pressure for a list of temperatures in K. Input thermal conductivity in W/mK (kappaTable) at temperatures in K and pressures in Pa. Values outside of the provided range will be taken from the table edge.
Elastic shear modulus will be effected when viscosity surpasses the limit specified in the solidificationProperties dictionary. To control this according to temperature, change the TnoFlow temperature of the CrossWLF model. According to experience, elastic behavior should be limited to slow flow. This is effected with the shearRate limit, also given in the solidificationProperties. Not providing the solidificationProperties dictionary will make the solver skip the elastic calculation and only use the CrossWLF viscosity. The fvSchemes for elasticity must still be provided even though they are not used.
