  • "id" is the material ID corresponding to a subset (or all) of the generated material points.
  • "type" is either "Newtonian2D" or "Newtonian3D".
  • "density" is material density.
  • "bulk_modulus" is the constant elastic parameter for fluid bulk modulus.
  • "dynamic_viscosity" is fluid dynamic viscosity.
  • "incompressible" flag is set true for incompressible materials.

Detaial of the constitutive equations for Newtonian fluids are provided in [1].
