Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GasTransportData()

GasTransportData ( const std::string &  geometry,
double  diameter,
double  well_depth,
double  dipole = 0.0,
double  polarizability = 0.0,
double  rot_relax = 0.0,
double  acentric = 0.0,
double  dispersion = 0.0,
double  quad_polar = 0.0 
)

Construct a GasTransportData object using MKS units for all parameters.

◆ setCustomaryUnits()

void setCustomaryUnits ( const std::string &  geometry,
double  diameter,
double  well_depth,
double  dipole = 0.0,
double  polarizability = 0.0,
double  rot_relax = 0.0,
double  acentric = 0.0,
double  dispersion = 0.0,
double  quad_polar = 0.0 
)

Set the parameters using "customary" units: diameter in Angstroms, well depth in Kelvin, dipole in Debye, and polarizability in Angstroms^3.

These are the units used in in CK-style input files.

◆ validate()

void validate ( const Species species)
virtual

Check transport data for invalid parameters such as a geometry inconsistent with the atomic composition, non-positive diameter, or negative values for well depth, dipole, polarizability, or rotational relaxation number.

Reimplemented from TransportData.
