CoefTimeDerivative

Description

The CoefTimeDerivative kernel implements the time derivative term multiplied by a scalar coefficient.

This class inherents from the TimeDerivative class.

Example Syntax

A kernel block demonstrating the CoefTimeDerivative syntax in a transient diffusion problem can be found below:

[Kernels]
  [./diff]
    type = CoefDiffusion
    variable = u
    coef = 0.1
  [../]
  [./time]
    type = CoefTimeDerivative
    variable = u
    Coefficient = 0.1
  [../]
