This model is the didactic CFD model of a valve.

Cd to the models' directory in a terminal and issue gmsh valve.py at the prompt, or open valve.py from the "File" menu of Gmsh.

Model developed by F. Henrotte and L. Fitschy (GDTech).

-The physical background is the cryogenic treatment of warts by application of a cryogenic fluid. The idea is to maximize the destruction of wart tissue cells while minimizing damages to healthy skin tissue. A damage function depending on temperature distribution and exposure time is built to represent this trade-off. The purpose of the modeling is to determine the application time that minimizes the damage function.
+This model is the didactic CFD model of a valve.
-Geometrical and modeling parameters can be interactively modified in the ONELAB window. By clicking on the "Run" button, the thermal solver of Elmer is invoked. After execution, a plot of the damage function vs. time is displayed, and the computed optimum application time tmin is highlighted in the ONELAB window.
