Hey Zoheir,

Yes, this is why I started by asking if your pressure and temperature
are non-linearly related (are they?). If they are linearly related, then
the existing weak coupling in ThermalEngine is perfectly adequate.

>> What do you think?

In the case that they are linearly related, I do not understand why you
would modify anything. ThermalEngine is already doing what you need, as
you found. Beta is the coefficient of thermal expansion which has units
of (1/v) * (dv/dT). Dividing the entire expression by temperature as you
are doing makes little sense to me. Perhaps you can explain your
rationale?

Hey Robert,

Sorry for the late response. I was trying to make a weak coupling
between pressure and temperature.  I ended up slightly modifying [1] in
thermal.cpp to allow changes in dV rates due to temperature changes. I
know this function is for considering fluid expansion in the pressure
calculations, but I set beta=1 and then divide [2] by the current
temperature of the cell (cell->info().temp()). This way I assumed I have
an ideal gas with linear relationship between temperature and volume
changes. I recompiled and it seams to be working. I need to find a way
to validate the results though. What do you think?

Here is the modified function:
void ThermalEngine::computeCellVolumeChangeFromDeltaTemp(CellHandle& cell, Real 
/*cavDens*/)
{
Real beta;
if (tempDependentFluidBeta) beta = 7.5e-6 * cell->info().temp() + 
5.7e-5; // linear model for thermal expansion
else
beta = fluidBeta;
Real poreVolume;
if (porosityFactor > 0) poreVolume = cell->info().volume() * 
porosityFactor; // allows us to simulate low porosity matrices
else
poreVolume = (1. / cell->info().invVoidVolume());
//  else K = flow->fluidBulkModulus;
if (!cell->info().isCavity) {
cell->info().dv() += -poreVolume * cell->info().dtemp()/ 
cell->info().temp() / thermalDT;
} else if (cell->info().isCavity) {
cell->info().dv() += -(cell->info().volume()) * beta * 
cell->info().dtemp()
/ thermalDT; // ignore the particles used for fluid 
discretization in the pore (i.e. use volume())
}
}

Thanks for the offer. I shared this with Ryan. We might end up going that route 
at the end but for preliminary results a weak coupling should do.
