Converting rheology data to model parameters is definitely possible! Here's a general approach for fitting your complex rheology data (G*, G', and G'') to the PTT or Maxwell models using OpenFOAM:
* Choose a fitting method: Popular options include nonlinear regression or genetic algorithms. OpenFOAM offers libraries like GNU Scientific Library (GSL) for regression purposes.
* Prepare your data: Ensure your frequency data (x-axis) and rheology data (G*, G', G'') are in compatible formats for OpenFOAM.
* Implement the model equations: Define the PTT or Maxwell model equations within your OpenFOAM code. These equations will relate the model parameters to the rheological properties.
* Set up the fitting: Specify the objective function (e.g., sum of squared residuals) to minimize the difference between the model predictions and your experimental data.
* Solve for the parameters: Use the chosen fitting method to solve the optimization problem and obtain the model parameters that best fit your data.
Additional tips:
* Consider using pre-existing OpenFOAM libraries for constitutive models if available. This can save you time and effort in implementing the model equations.
* Look for tutorials or examples online that demonstrate fitting rheology data to constitutive models in OpenFOAM. This can provide valuable guidance for your specific case.
