Hello,

I am trying to determine which model was used to model properties in some recovered data files. We've used some custom materials, and they have multiple inputs for specific heat and viscosity. For example, the viscosity is shown as (formatted for clarity):

(viscosity
(constant . 3.79e-06)
(sutherland 1.716e-03 273.11 110.56)
(power-law 1.716e-05 273.11 0.666)
)

In this case, is the viscosity modeled as a constant or using the Sutherland Law or Power Law? I can't load the files directly in Fluent as the computer we used is dead.

Thanks for your help!

The first stuff that appears in ( ) is the setting used. So in this case it was a constant viscosity of 3.79e-06. The other hint is: the coefficients for Sutherland and power law are still the defaults.
