# Introduction to DuMux - Material system
## The DuMux Development Team, IWS-LH2, University of Stuttgart
## April 3-5, 2023



# Material system

## Challenges in simulating porous media:

* Highly heterogeneous distribution of parameters and complex nonlinear material laws

* Strong interconnection of properties **--->** difficult to achieve modularity



# Material system

## Modular structure by separating the material system into the following parts

### <ins> User-defined parameters and relationships describing the thermodynamical & electrochemical behavior of the system </ins>

  - Components 
 
  - Fluid system

  - Solid system

  - Binary coefficients

  - Fluid-matrix interactions

  - Chemistry

  - Eos
  
### <ins> Dumux-specific containers and solvers </ins>

  - Fluid states

  - Solid states

  - Constraint solvers
   
   

# Material system: Component

<img src="img/component.png" width="200"/>

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

 * Provide a convenient way to access these quantities

 * Not supposed to be used by models directly

## <ins> Example implementations: </ins>

 * _H2O_: pure water, properties by IAPWS-97 or simplified

# Material system: Solid system

 * Stateless classes (all member functions are static)

## <ins> Implementations: </ins>

 * _OneCSolid_: inert solid matrix of one solid component (e.g. granite)

# Material system: Fluid-matrix interactions

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

 * Description of the **interaction of the fluid phases with the porous medium** (e.g. capillary pressure and relative permeability relationships)
 
 * Through modular adapters, regularization schemes can be imposed for extreme values
 
## <ins> Example implementations: </ins>
 
 * _VanGenuchten_

# Material system: Chemistry

<img src="img/chemistry.png" width="200"/>

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

 * Expresses the **electrochemical models for a fuel cell application** (e.g. calculattion of reaction sources with an electrochemical model approach)
 
 * Stateless classes (all member functions are static)

## <ins> Example implementations: </ins>

 * _Electrochemistry_: for isothermal system
 
 * _Electrochemistryni_: for non-isothermal system
 


# Material system: Equation of state (eos)

<img src="img/eos.png" width="250"/>

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

 * Implements the **equation of state** for liquids and gases, and also for mixture (e.g. compute vapor pressure, molar volume, etc.)
 
 * Stateless classes (all member functions are static)

## <ins> Example implementations: </ins>
 
 * _Pengrobinson_: eos for liquid and gas
 
 * _Pengrobinsonmixture_: eos for a mixture
 


# Material system: Fluid state

<img src="img/fluidstate.png" width="800"/>

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

 * **Stores** the complete thermodynamic configuration of a system at a given spatial and temporal position (e.g. saturation, mole fraction, enthalpy)
 
 * **Provides access** methods to all thermodynamic quantities (e.g. saturation, mole fraction, enthalpy)
 


# Material system: Fluid state

<img src="img/fluidstate.png" width="800"/>

## <ins> Example implementations: </ins>

 * _ImmiscibleFluidState_: assumes immiscibility of the fluid phases. Phase compositions and fugacity coefficients do not need to be stored explicitly
 
 * _CompositionalFluidState_: assumes thermodynamic equilibrium, only a single temperature needs to be stored
 
 
 
# Material system: Solid state

 * _CompositionalSolidState_: assumes a solid matrix composed out of two components. The volume fractions can change and properties such as heat capacity are adapted
 
 
 
# Material system: Constraint Solver

# Material system: Constraint Solver

## <ins> What it does: </ins>

**Connects** the thermodynamic relations expressed by fluid systems with the thermodynamic quantities stored by fluid states (e.g. mole fraction, density)
 
## <ins> Example implementation: </ins>

CompositionFromFugacities: takes all component fugacities, the temperature and pressure of a phase as input and calculates the phase composition
 
 
 
# Example: From component to fluid system

<img src="img/component-fluidsystem.png" width="500"/>

## Example: 2 phases, immiscible

 * Components: _H2O_, _Air_
 
 * Fluid system: _TwoPImmiscible_
 
 
 
# Example: From component to fluid system

## Include headers in properties file:

```
// The numerical model
#include <dumux/porousmediumflow/2p/implicit/model.hh>

// The water component
#include <dumux/material/components/h2o.hh>

// The air component
#include <dumux/material/components/air.hh>

// The two-phase immiscible fluid system
#include <dumux/material/fluidsystems/2pimmiscible.hh>

// Liquid phase
#include <dumux/material/fluidsystems/1pliquid.hh>

// Gas phase
#include <dumux/material/fluidsystems/1pgas.hh>

// Solid phase
#include <dumux/material/solidsystems/1csolid.hh>
```


# Example: From component to fluid system

## Specify fluid system in properties file:

```
// we use the immiscible fluid system here
SET_PROP(WaterAirProblem, FluidSystem)
{
private:
using Scalar = typename GET_PROP_TYPE(TypeTag, Scalar);
using LiquidPhase = typename FluidSystems::LiquidPhase<Scalar, H2O<Scalar> >;
using GasPhase = typename FluidSystems::GasPhase<Scalar, Air<Scalar> >;
public:
using type = typename FluidSystems::TwoPImmiscible<Scalar, LiquidPhase,
GasPhase> ;
};
```


# Example: From component to solid system

## Specify solid system in properties file:

```
// we use the inert solid system here
SET_PROP(WaterAirProblem, SolidSystem)
{
private:
using Scalar = typename GET_PROP_TYPE(TypeTag, Scalar);
using ComponentT = Components::Granite<Scalar>;
public:
using type = SolidSystems::InertSolidphase<Scalar, ComponentT>;
};
```

**Note:** Specifying a solid system is only necessary if you work with a non-isothermal or mineralization model. If no solid system is specified in the problem file, the default is the inert solid phase with the constant component. For the constant component you can set properties in the input file.
