Detailed Description
This class enables defining phase change laws for a given material.
These laws are predefined for a certain number of materials. The user can set himself a specific behavior for his own materials by defining a class that inherits from PhaseChange. The derived class must has at least the member function
int EnthalpyToTemperature(real_t &H, real_t &T, real_t &gamma)
Member Function Documentation
Calculate temperature from enthalpy.
This member function is to be called in any equation class that needs phase change laws.
- Parameters
-
[in] H Enthalpy value [out] T Calculated temperature value [out] gamma Maximal slope of the curve H -> T
Virtual function to calculate temperature from enthalpy.
This member function must be implemented in any derived class in order to define user's own material laws.
