• All nodes in a fluid network are GunnsFluidNode objects, which inherit GunnsBasicNode.
• GunnsFluidNode adds a few attributes and overrides some GunnsBasicNode attributes for use in fluid networks.

Some base class attributes and what they mean in the fluid aspect.

• mPotential: Generic potential of the node. No Trick units.
  • This is pressure in the fluid aspect, in units of (kPa).
  • Matches the value of GunnsFluidNode’s mContent.mPressure. Node pressure can be found in both locations.
• mInfluxRate: Generic total rate of flows into the node from all sources. No Trick units.
  • This is mass flow rate into the node, in units of (kg/s).
• mOutfluxRate: Generic total rate of flows out of the node to all destinations. No Trick units.
  • This is mass flow rate out of the node, in units of (kg/s).
• mNetFlux: Generic net accumulated rate into the node from all in and out flows. No Trick units.
  • This is net mass flow rate into the node, in units of (kg/s).
• mFluxThrough: Generic net flux rate through the node. No Trick units.
  • This is net mass flow rate through the node, in units of (kg/s).

• mContent: This is the state of the fluid residing in the volume represented by the node.
  • This is a PolyFluid object.
• mInflow: This is the mixed state of all flows coming into the node, before mixing with mContent.
  • This is a PolyFluid object.
