VOLUME_correction

(chamberwise) parameter to correct volume by GLOBALLY adjusting the divergence of velocity term (UCV)

This parameter triggers the volume correction due to the ArtificialExpansionOrCompression idea (see also VolumeCorrection), where the computation of the target volume follows the classical inflow-outflow-balance .
VOLUME_correction = 0.001 # the volume must not be changed by more than 0.001*TotalVolume in a single time step
Default: VOLUME_correction = 0.0 (off) The given value is the maximum allowed corrected volume per time step, relative to the total volume of a chamber. MESHFREE will adjust the divergence of velocity in order to artificially provoke expanding or compressing flow to regain the correct, analytical volume (see ArtificialExpansionOrCompression and in particular the term \( - \left( \nabla^{T}\mathbf{v} \right)^{n+1}_{i,\text{VolCorr}}\) in EnhanceCorrectionPressureFormulation as well as ArtificialPointDisplacement ) We make the Ansatz
DivV_VolCorr = min( 2.0*( V_analytical - V_measured )/( V_measured + V_analytical ) , VOLUME_correction ) / Y%ind_dt%
Hint: V_analytical and V_measured can be interrogated by the real()-Funktion (see %VOLUME_TARGET% and %VOLUME_ACTUAL% ). Note: IMPORTANT The standard correction procedure is the EnhanceCorrectionPressureFormulation-algorithm. In order to invoke ArtificialPointDisplacement put a 10 in front of the comma, i.e.
VOLUME_correction = 0.001 # invoke EnhanceCorrectionPressureFormulation with the parameter 0.001 VOLUME_correction = 10.001 # invoke ArtificialPointDisplacement with the same parameter 0.001
