auto weights

boolean

False

Choose if weights should be computed automatically.

gas phase weight

number

1.0

If >>> dirac delta function approximation type <<< is set to any phase weighted optionthis parameter controls the (first) weight of the gas phase (level set = -1).

heavy phase weight

number

1.0

If >>> dirac delta function approximation type <<< is set to any phase weighted optionthis parameter controls the (first) weight of the heavy phase (level set = 1).

gas phase weight 2

number

1.0

If >>> dirac delta function approximation type <<< is set to >>> heaviside_times_heaviside_phase_weighted <<< this parameter controls the second weight of the gas phase (level set = -1).

heavy phase weight 2

number

1.0

If >>> dirac delta function approximation type <<< is set to >>> heaviside_times_heaviside_phase_weighted <<< this parameter controls the second weight of the heavy liquid/solid phase (level set = 1).
