Command Qualifier

For example, two different material models are distinguished by their qualifiers:

MATERIAL_MODEL( "air" ) {
 density_model = "air at standard atmosphere"
 viscosity_model = "air"
}
MATERIAL_MODEL( "aluminum" ) {
 density_model = "aluminum"
 conductivity_model = "aluminum"
}

The specification of the qualifier is mandatory for commands that accommodate it and is an error for those commands that do not accommodate one. There are two types of qualifiers: user-given name and enumerated. The user-given name qualifier is any user-specified name, as in the above MATERIAL_MODEL examples. The user-given name of a command may be referenced by another command. For example:

ELEMENT_SET( "channel" ) {
 material_model = "air"
}

The enumerated type is for selecting a specific value from a predefined set of options. For example, consider:

NODAL_INITIAL_CONDITION( velocity ) {
 default_values = { 1, 0, 0 }
}

and

NODAL_INITIAL_CONDITION( pressure ) {
 default_value = 0
}
