Description

The material type for constant isotropic diffusivity materials is diff-const-iso.

When the permeability is isotropic,

\[ \mathbf{d}=d\,\mathbf{I} \]

For this material model, \(d\) is constant. This assumption is only true when strains are small. Note that the user must specify \(d\leqslant d_{0}\), since a solute cannot diffuse through the biphasic-solute mixture faster than in free solution.

Example:

<diffusivity name="Permeability" type="diff-const-iso">
  <free_diff>1e-9</ free_diff >
  <diff>0.5e-9</diff>
</diffusivity>
