Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class FuelCellShop::Layer::BaseLayer< dim >

Virtual class used to characterize a generic layer interface.

Note that his class does not contain enough information to characterize any useful layer yet. Please see children.

The base layer is used to store an identification number for the layer and the geometry of the layer.

This member function return the name of the type of layer, i.e.

Note that this is necessary if we want to find out not the name of the actual class which can be obtain using

const std::type_info& name = typeid(*this)

but the name of the parent class.

Note

Do not implement this class anywhere other than the following "base" classes:

Reimplemented in FuelCellShop::Layer::CatalystLayer< dim >, FuelCellShop::Layer::GasDiffusionLayer< dim >, FuelCellShop::Layer::MicroPorousLayer< dim >, FuelCellShop::Layer::MembraneLayer< dim >, and FuelCellShop::Layer::SolidLayer< dim >.

template<int dim>

virtual void FuelCellShop::Layer::BaseLayer< dim >::print_layer_properties ( ) const

virtual

This member function is a virtual class that can be used to output to screen information from the layer.

This function should be re-implemented in each layer with data that is relevant in each case.

Reimplemented in FuelCellShop::Layer::AgglomerateCL< dim >, FuelCellShop::Layer::PorousLayer< dim >, and FuelCellShop::Layer::ConventionalCL< dim >.

template<int dim>

virtual void FuelCellShop::Layer::BaseLayer< dim >::set_constant_solution	(	const double &	value,
		const VariableNames &	name
	)

inlinevirtual

Set those solution variables which are constant in the particular application.

If the effective properties in the layer depend on other variables that are usually part of the solution vector but are assumed to be constant in this simulation, the const solution value should be passed to the class using this member function. This method should be called in the initialization section of the application. This function takes value to be set as the first argument and the VariableNames as second argument. For instance, it's required to store constant temperature value for an isothermal application, in that case this method can be used. e.g., in order to set temperature as 353.0 [Kelvin] in the layer, you can use the following code:

// In the initialization section of the application.

layer.set_constant_solution(353.0, VariableNames::temperature_of_REV);

Reimplemented in FuelCellShop::Layer::CatalystLayer< dim >, and FuelCellShop::Layer::MembraneLayer< dim >.

template<int dim>

virtual void FuelCellShop::Layer::BaseLayer< dim >::set_derivative_flags ( const std::vector< VariableNames > & flags )

inlinevirtual

Set the variables for which you would like to compute the derivatives.

It takes a vector of VariableNames as an input argument.

		const std::vector< std::string > &	name_dvar,
		const std::vector< double > &	value_dvar,
		ParameterHandler &	param
	)

inlineprotectedvirtual

Member function used to change the values in the parameter file for a given list of parameters.

name_param should ideally contain the string as it would appear in the input file, i.e. "Thickness of the agglomerate radius"
value_param contains the value that the variable should be set at
param is the ParameterHandler that contains all the information that has been read from file

Note that this is a static function, therefore it requires as the first argument the string with the name of the section you would like to create for the object of this class.

Reimplemented in FuelCellShop::Layer::PorousLayer< dim >.

void FuelCellShop::Layer::BaseLayer< dim >::set_position ( std::vector< Point< dim > > & p )

Member function used by some applications such as dummyGDL in order to know which value to return.

For other classes this class is not used.

inlinevirtual

If the effective properties in the layer depend on the solution, the solution for a given cell should be passed to the class using this member function.

It is used to set SolutionVariable structure inside the layer. This structure stores the solution variable values at all quadrature points in the cell. For sample usage details, please see documentation of FuelCellShop::SolutionVariable structure.

Note, this function in the base layer sets the interface. It has to be reimplemented in respective child layer classes for respective uses.
