Summary

For a curing foam with gas volume fraction $\phi_g$ and extent of reaction $\xi$ the viscosity is given by

$\mu\left(\xi, \phi_g, T\right)= \mu_{a} \left(1 - \dfrac{T}{T_{\mu}} \right) \left(1 - \left(\frac{\xi}{\xi_c}\right)^m \right)^{n_{\mu}} e^{E_\mu/RT} e^{\phi_g/\left(1 - \phi_g\right)}$

where $T$ is the temperature and the default model parameters are $\mu_{a} = 800.93$ , $T_{\mu} = 364.059$ , $n_{\mu} = -4/3$ , $E_{\mu} = 0.0$ , $R = 1.987$ , and $\xi_c = 0.45$ . NOTE: The gas volume fraction is assumed to be a SPECIES field with the subindex provided by the VFRAC_SUBINDEX parameter. Likewise, the extent of reaction field is assumed to be a SPECIES field with the subindex provided by the EXTENT_SUBINDEX parameter.
