solute backflow stabilization

Module: fluid-solutes

Category: load

Type string: "solute backflow stabilization"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
solute_id solute_id -1 []

Description

In a fluid-solutes analysis this surface load checks for the presence of solvent (fluid) backflow, i.e., when \(v_{n}^{f}=\mathbf{v}^{f}\cdot\mathbf{n}\) is negative. When this condition is encountered, the effective concentration of the selected solute (solute_id) is set to its converged value from the previous time step. Otherwise, the natural boundary condition \(\tilde{j}_{n}=0\) (zero diffusive solute flux relative to the solvent) prevails.
