Description
Transport package using the Andrade function for the natural logarithm of
dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of liquids:
\verbatim
log(mu) = muCoeffs[0] + muCoeffs[1]*T + muCoeffs[2]*sqr(T)
+ muCoeffs_[3]/(muCoeffs_[4] + T)
log(kappa) = kappaCoeffs[0] + kappaCoeffs[1]*T + kappaCoeffs[2]*sqr(T)
+ kappaCoeffs_[3]/(kappaCoeffs_[4] + T)
);
\endverbatim

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
