hello everyone:
Where can I find the specific equations for these parameters?
The MFiX user guide and the source code are the definitive references.
Additionally you may find the “MFiX Theory Guide” helpful, although it is not up-to-date.

Fluid phase
Molecular weight
physprop_mod.f:
! Module name: CALC_MW (X_g, DIM, L, NMAX, MW_g) C
! Purpose: Calculate average molecular weight of gas C
set_mw_mix_g.f:
! Subroutine: SET_MW_MIX_g C
! Purpose: calculate gas mixture molecular weights C
Thermal conductivity
calc_k_g.f:
! Subroutine: CALC_K_g C
! Purpose: Calculate the effective conductivity of fluid phase C
Diffusivity
calc_dif_g.f
! Subroutine: CALC_DIF_g C
! Purpose: Calculate the effective diffusivity of fluid phase in C
I found these by looking at the keyword associated with the control (mw_avg
, c_pg0
, k_g0
, and dif_g0
) and then using grep -ir <keyword>
in the $CONDA_PREFIX/share/mfix/src/model
directory
