Reference Fluid Inputs and Outputs in the Browser

The browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. view of the Reference Fluid A special type of Fluid element that provides a basis for defining partition coefficients between media for the various species in the model (i.e., the ratio of the species’ concentration in the medium to its concentration in the Reference Fluid at equilibrium). is shown below:

All three inputs to the Reference Fluid can be specified as links, and hence all three appear in the browser. The Relative Diffusivities and Solubilities are vectors (by element), and hence can be expanded:

The Reference Fluid has a single output (and hence has the same ID as the medium). When a pathway is created, it is automatically linked to this output (you cannot do this manually).

Note: In some instances, to represent spatial variability, some models may have multiple "clones Sets of elements whose properties change simultaneously when any one member of the set is edited." of the Reference Fluid element. The pathways will link to the nearest Reference Fluid clone in the containment hierarchy.

The Reference Fluid output expands to reveal the medium properties, as shown below:

The Relative Diffusivities and Solubilities outputs are vectors. You can create a link from the entire vector A one-dimensional array., or expand the output and create a link from an item of the vector.

That is, the three properties that you enter for the Reference Fluid are "passed through" the element and become outputs which you can then link to other elements.

You can save these results by clicking Final Values and/or Time Histories in the editing dialog for the Reference Fluid. Checking one of these causes all three outputs to be saved as results. If you wish to save only one or two of these as results, you can use the context menu of the output (accessed via a right-click) in the browser to turn on or off one or more of the three outputs. In this case, the checkbox in the editing dialog would become gray (indicating that some of the results will be saved).
