7.6.2.17.11. Porous_Density

Syntax

Bulk Mass Density [{of} SpeciesName] = Porous_Density

Scope

Aria Material

Summary

Bulk mass density computed from density and porosity.

Description

Bulk mass density for species $i$ ( $\rho_{b,i}$ ) is computed with

$\rho_{b,i} = \rho_i \phi$

If no species is set, this is applied to the general property.

Note that this is not applicable to the solid phase, which defines bulk density as per total volume, not per phase volume.

This is also not appropriate for 3-phase systems since it does not include saturation.
