Add in Sutherland's law for NEMO problems #1702

WallyMaier · 2022-07-07T15:36:01Z

Proposed Changes

Here I am adding Sutherland's law for viscosity and thermal conductivity for NEMO problems using the native library. Experiments for these types of problems often are run using very low temperatures (~65K). Our current models aren't suited well for these temperature ranges.

There is also some general clean up work in the still-not-working Gupta-Yos model and viscous numerics.

The diffusion coefficient used in the Sutherland model is still computed using the WBE routine

This is general cleanup. The code doesn't behave just yet.....though this is a problem for another day.

This is a bit ugly. Is denom always positive? If so the standard way of protecting against division by zero is using fmax(x, EPS)

Yes denom should always be positive. I think the issue is if demon= 0 then ThermalCond_tr += 0 .
But I agree this is ugly.

Still, equality comparisons of floating point numbers with 0 are generally a bad idea, because things will also blow up with 1e-100, checking for > EPS should be safer.

Gotcha. Is there a cleaner/efficient way to make sure that if denom_t = 0, then there is no contribution to thermal conductivity? fmax(x, EPS)

I changed these around to maybe be less ugly.

Worth adding a comment with a reference for these values?

Good point. I can add a quick reference.

How hard would it be to add this routine so it is supported by MPP?

Also, just to confirm, Sutherland is just used for viscosity then WBE is used for diffusion coeffs and thermal conductivity?

Great question. I don't know if MPP has sutherland's law, but if it does....it should be fairly simple to implement.
I guess with that thought, the Sutherlands law would be the identical implementation, but it would need additional errors if someone tried to used not AR, N2, or Air5/7.

Yes, Sutherland is used for viscosity and thermal conductivity. Blottner part of WBE is still used for diffusion coefficients.

Overall looks good! I think this will be a good addition for running the lower temperature experimental verification cases with NEMO, where the T_{\inf} is low but he Ma_{\inf} is high.
