Moisture Transport Variables
Predefined Variables
This section lists the predefined variables that are available with the Moisture Transport interface. All variable names begin with the physics interface name (the prefix). By default, the Moisture Transport interface prefix is
mt
. As an example, you can access the variable named
phi
using
mt.phi
(as long as the physics interface is named
mt
).
