Predefined Variables
This section lists the most common predefined variables available to evaluate fluxes, sources, and integral quantities used in mass balances. All the variable names begin with the physics interface name (the prefix). By default, the Transport of Diluted Species interface prefix is
tds
. As an example, you can access the variable named
dflux
using
tds.dflux
(as long as the physics interface is named
tds
).
