template<class Scalar , class Evaluation = Scalar>
Evaluation Opm::BinaryCoeff::fullerMethod ( const Scalar *  M,
const Scalar *  SigmaNu,
const Evaluation &  temperature,
const Evaluation &  pressure 
)
inline

Estimate binary diffusion coefficents $\mathrm{[m^2/s]}$ in gases according to the method by Fuller.

Parameters
Mmolar masses $\mathrm{[g/mol]}$
SigmaNuatomic diffusion volume
temperatureThe temperature $\mathrm{[K]}$
pressurephase pressure $\mathrm{[Pa]}$

This function estimates the diffusion coefficents in binary gases using to the method proposed by Fuller. This method and is only valid at "low" pressures.
