The multicomponent alloy class for solving the solute transport equation.

Installation
============

Pre-requisites:  

* A working installation of `OpenFOAM 9 <https://openfoam.org/release/9/>`_.
* The :doc:`../src/soluteModel` library.

In the directChillFoam/applications/solver/heatTransfer/directChillFoam/multicomponentAlloy directory, run:

.. code-block:: console
  
  $ wmake libso

Usage
=====

Create the alloy in the CreateFields.H file:

.. code-block:: C

  multicomponentAlloy alloy("alloy", U, rho, rho2, phi, fvModels, fvConstraints);

Solve the solute transport equations in the energy corrector loop:

.. code-block:: C

  alloy.solve(Us, fvModels, fvConstraints);

C++ Classes
===========

.. doxygenclass:: Foam::multicomponentAlloy

Testing
=======

The unit tests for the multicomponentAlloy libraries require the Boost libraries (>= 1.69.0). The tests are run in the tests/multicomponentAlloy/case folder:

.. code-block:: console
  
  $ wmake .. # Build the test executable
  $ blockMesh # Create the mesh for the test case
  $ ./test_multicomponentAlloy --log_level=all # Run the tests
