Implementation of the regularized van Genuchten's capillary pressure / relative permeability <-> saturation relation.
This class bundles the "raw" curves as static members and doesn't concern itself converting absolute to effective saturations and vice versa.
In order to avoid very steep gradients the marginal values are "regularized". This means that in stead of following the curve of the material law in these regions, some linear approximation is used. Doing this is not worse than following the material law. E.g. for very low wetting phase values the material laws predict infinite values for which is completely unphysical. In case of very high wetting phase saturations the difference between regularized and "pure" material law is not big.
Regularizing has the additional benefit of being numerically friendly: Newton's method does not like infinite gradients.
The implementation is accomplished as follows:
An example of the regularization of the capillary pressure curve is shown below:
|
inlinestatic |
Regularized version of the relative permeability for the non-wetting phase of the medium implied by the van Genuchten parameterization.
regularized part:
params | The parameter object expressing the coefficients required by the van Genuchten law. |
fs | The fluid state for which the derivative ought to be calculated |
|
inlinestatic |
Regularized version of the relative permeability for the wetting phase of the medium implied by the van Genuchten parameterization.
regularized part:
For not-regularized part:
params | The parameter object expressing the coefficients required by the van Genuchten law. |
fs | The fluid state for which the relative permeability ought to be calculated |
|
inlinestatic |
A regularized van Genuchten capillary pressure-saturation curve.
regularized part:
For not-regularized part:
|
inlinestatic |
A regularized van Genuchten saturation-capillary pressure curve.
regularized part:
The according quantities are obtained by exploiting theorem of intersecting lines.
For not-regularized part:
This is the inverse of the capillary pressure-saturation curve:
params | The parameter object expressing the coefficients required by the van Genuchten law. |
fs | The fluid state containing valid phase pressures |
