Editing the Reference Fluid

All models must contain a 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).. For convenience, the Reference Fluid is automatically provided in the Material Container An element that acts like a "box" or a "folder" into which other elements can be placed. It can be used to create hierarchical models., which is created in the Model Root The top-level Container in a GoldSim model. whenever you create a new file with the Contaminant Transport Module. The default name for the Reference Fluid is "Water". If desired, you can move or rename this element, but you cannot delete it.

You cannot insert or create copies of the Reference Fluid (i.e., each model must have a single unique Reference Fluid), but in order to represent spatial variability of fluid properties, you can create clones Sets of elements whose properties change simultaneously when any one member of the set is edited. of the Reference Fluid.
