Member Data Documentation

Mdouble LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies::cbrtLiquidBridgeVolume_

private

Cube root of the liquid bridge.

This is a slave variable of liquidBridgeVolume_ (i.e. it is always set together) but is useful, because the cube root has to be calculated to obtain the liquid bridge adhesive force.

Definition at line 114 of file LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies.h.

Referenced by getInteractionDistance(), LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies(), and setLiquidBridgeVolume().

Mdouble LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies::contactAngle_

private

contact angle between particle and liquid bridge surface

Definition at line 119 of file LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies.h.

Referenced by getContactAngle(), getInteractionDistance(), LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies(), mix(), read(), setContactAngle(), and write().

Mdouble LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies::liquidBridgeVolume_

private

Volume of the liquid bridge.

Currently, this is a Species property (i.e. all particles have the same liquid bridge volume), but this should probably become a Particle or Interaction property.

Definition at line 106 of file LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies.h.

Referenced by getLiquidBridgeVolume(), LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies(), read(), setLiquidBridgeVolume(), and write().

Mdouble LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies::surfaceTension_

private

surface tension of the liquid
