Liquid phase reference pressure#
Liquid phase reference pressure = CONSTANT <float> [M/L-t2] or [N/L2]
Description / Usage#
This card is used to specify the model and model parameters for the liquid-phase compressibility reference pressure. See Liquid phase compressibility card for discussion and theory.
CONSTANT |
model for the reference pressure, currently the only available option. It requires a single floating point value:

Examples#
The cards
Liquid phase compressibility = CONSTANT {beta_liquid}
Liquid phase reference pressure = CONSTANT {p_not}
leads to the application of a linearized compressibility model for the density of liquid in the time-derivative capacitance term. This is useful for rigid porous media when the conditions are such that the saturation front is sharp.
