Unit
jax_lab.core.unit.Unit
Convert quantities between LBM (lattice) units and SI units.
The conversion is defined by four independent scale factors (mass, length, time and temperature), each expressed as SI units per lattice unit. All derived quantities (density, velocity, pressure, force, viscosity) are converted using combinations of these factors. Conversion methods accept scalars, JAX/numpy arrays or pytrees of arrays, so both single phase fields and multiphase/multicomponent field trees (as used by the Multiphase class) are supported. The temperature scale is only relevant for thermal flows; isothermal flows can leave it at its default.
Parameters
lbm_mass (float, optional): Mass of one lattice mass unit in kg. Defaults to 1.0.
lbm_length (float, optional): Length of one lattice spacing in m. Defaults to 1.0.
lbm_time (float, optional): Duration of one lattice time step in s. Defaults to 1.0.
lbm_temperature (float, optional): Temperature of one lattice temperature unit in K. Defaults to 1.0.

determine_lbm_scale_multiphase
determine_lbm_scale_multiphase(si_kinematic_visc, si_density, lbm_kinematic_visc, lbm_density, si_temperature=None, lbm_temperature=None, lbm_length=None, lbm_time=None, lbm_mass=None)
Determine the mass, length, time and temperature scales for a multiphase flow.
Same closure as determine_lbm_scale_singlephase, but the LBM reference density is fixed by the equation of state (typically the critical or coexistence liquid density) and must be provided. For thermal flows, matching a reference temperature (typically the critical temperature of the EOS) sets the temperature scale; isothermal flows can omit it (see Yuan and Schaefer, 2006, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2187070).
Parameters
si_kinematic_visc (float): Kinematic viscosity in SI units (m^2/s).
si_density (float): Reference density in SI units (kg/m^3).
lbm_kinematic_visc (float): Kinematic viscosity in LBM units.
lbm_density (float): Reference density in LBM units, as given by the EOS.
si_temperature (float, optional): Reference temperature in SI units (K); required together with lbm_temperature for thermal flows.
lbm_temperature (float, optional): Reference temperature in LBM units, as given by the EOS.
lbm_length (float, optional): Length of one lattice spacing in m.
lbm_time (float, optional): Duration of one lattice time step in s.
lbm_mass (float, optional): Mass of one lattice mass unit in kg.
Returns
None The mass, length, time and (for thermal flows) temperature scales of this instance are updated in place.

determine_lbm_scale_singlephase(si_kinematic_visc, si_density, lbm_kinematic_visc, lbm_density=1.0, lbm_length=None, lbm_time=None, lbm_mass=None)
Determine the mass, length and time scales for a single phase flow.
Matching kinematic viscosity and density between SI and LBM units fixes two of the three mechanical scales, so exactly one of lbm_length, lbm_time or lbm_mass must be provided to close the system. Assumes the LBM viscosity was chosen for the target relaxation time, nu = cs^2 * (tau - 1/2) (see Krüger et al., 2017).
Parameters

lbm_density (float, optional): Reference density in LBM units. Defaults to 1.0.
lbm_length (float, optional): Length of one lattice spacing in m.
lbm_time (float, optional): Duration of one lattice time step in s.
