Comments

  1. The volume must be a completely enclosed volume and the norm must be oriented outwards. If the structure contains a vent hole, the vent hole must be meshed with a shell element.
  2. The value of the total vent hole coefficient must be between 0.0 and 1.0:

    Total vent hole coefficient = min(max(C23 × LCTC23 × LCPC23, 0.0), 1.0).

  3. There is no limit on the number of gas components.
  4. Heat capacity at constant pressure:
