Hi all,

I would like to have a variable density for water the only combination that allows that to me is:

Code:
Valid rhoThermo types are:

type         mixture                    transport   thermo       equationOfState           specie  energy                   
...
heRhoThermo  pureMixture                polynomial  hPolynomial  icoPolynomial             specie  sensibleEnthalpy        
heRhoThermo  pureMixture                polynomial  hPolynomial  icoPolynomial             specie  sensibleInternalEnergy  
...
So I used the following combination:
Code:
thermoType
{
    type            heRhoThermo;
    mixture         pureMixture;
    transport       polynomial; 
    thermo          hPolynomial; 
    equationOfState icoPolynomial; 
    specie          specie;
    energy          sensibleEnthalpy;
}
That works fine if I define the polynomials like
Code:
CpCoeffs<8>               ( 4200 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 );     //[J/kg/K]
But how would I define a different degree for a polynomial, e.g.
Code:
CpCoeffs<1>               ( 4200 );     //[J/kg/K]
Since I do not need the accuracy, especially for cp and I think the poly evaluation eats up a lot of time.

Regards,
Markus.
