Definition of physical variable laws.

Warning

It is forbidden to modify turbulent viscosity visct here (a specific subroutine is dedicated to that: cs_user_physical_properties_turb_viscosity)

• icp = 0 must have been specified in usipsu if we wish to define a variable specific heat cpro_cp (otherwise: memory overwrite).
• the kivisl field integer key (diffusivity_id) must have been specified in usipsu if we wish to define a variable viscosity viscls.

Remarks

• This routine is called at the beginning of each time step Thus, AT THE FIRST TIME STEP (non-restart case), the only values initialized before this call are those defined
  • in the GUI or usipsu (cs_user_parameters.f90)
    • density (initialized at ro0)
    • viscosity (initialized at viscl0)
  • in the GUI or cs_user_initialization
    • calculation variables (initialized at 0 by defaut or to the value given in the GUI or in cs_user_initialization)
• We may define here variation laws for cell properties, for:
  • density: rom kg/m3
  • density at boundary faces: romb kg/m3)
  • molecular viscosity: cpro_viscl kg/(m s)
  • specific heat: cpro_cp J/(kg degrees)
  • diffusivities associated with scalars: cpro_vscalt kg/(m s)

Warning: if the scalar is the temperature, cpro_vscalt corresponds to its conductivity (Lambda) in W/(m K)

The types of boundary faces at the previous time step are available (except at the first time step, where arrays itypfb and itrifb have not been initialized yet)

It is recommended to keep only the minimum necessary in this file (i.e. remove all unused example code)

Cells identification

Cells may be identified using the getcel subroutine. The syntax of this subroutine is described in the cs_user_boundary_conditions subroutine, but a more thorough description can be found in the user guide.

Parameters

[in]	nvar	total number of variables
[in]	nscal	total number of scalars
[in]	mbrom	indicator of filling of romb array
[in]	dt	time step (per cell)
