My GSOC2016 project will be on the topic Adding incompressible fluids EOS to FPROPS. The project details and proposal are on the official GSOC website. My mentors will be John Pye and Mahesh Venkataraman.

My code is at vishnu:.

Examples of current incompressible fluid support in ASCEND:

• models/johnpye/liquidsodium.a4c
• models/johnpye/moltensalt.a4c

Here is the weekly update:

1. Still working on incompressible standalone code (please review the committed work)
2. Added property evaluation functions for density, conductivity, heat capacity and viscosity
3. Added functions to compute properties from different types of fit coefficients: polynomial, exponential, exponential-polynomial
4. Analyzed preliminary results for "Zitrec S55, Potassium formate/Sodium propionate"
   • Programmed a macro vishnu:models/johnpye/fprops/vishnu/scratch/generate.mcr and a script file vishnu:models/johnpye/fprops/vishnu/scratch/unite to create plots (which works with the post-processing tool 'Tecplot')
   • Results in vishnu:models/johnpye/fprops/vishnu/scratch/results.pdf, Original data in vishnu:models/johnpye/fprops/vishnu/scratch/Original.pdf
   • Large/significant deviations/inconsistencies observed

Work under progress:

1. Comparing with respective computations of CoolProp to detect the root-cause behind mismatching results

Future discussion:

1. What is the purpose of "NRMS" (normalized root-mean-square)? Do I have to include that anywhere in the calculations or is it just additional info?
