Boussinesq

Density, ρ\rho [kg/m3^3]

ρ=ρ0(1−β(T−T0))\rho = \rho_0 \left( 1 - \beta (T - T_0) \right)

Entropy, SS [J/kg/K ]

S=0S = 0

Compressibility, ψ\psi [s2^2/m2^2]

ψ=0\psi = 0

Usage​

The Boussinesq equation of state is specified as:

equationOfState
{
    rho0        <scalar>;
    T0          <scalar>;
    beta        <scalar>;
}

Where

  • rho0 : Reference density [kg/m3^3]
  • T0 : Reference temperature [K]
  • beta : Thermal expansion coefficient [1/K]
