VectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial

This class takes up to three scalar-valued functors corresponding to vector components or a single vector functor and computes the Euclidean norm.

Overview

This class either takes 1-3 scalar-valued (e.g. Real, ADReal) functors or a single vector functor and creates a functor that returns the Euclidean norm of the input. For creating a Real-returning functor that takes in Real input, use the VectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial type in the input file. For a ADReal-returning functor that takes in ADReal input, use ADVectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial. If using component inputs and the y or z-component functor parameters are not provided, then they are defaulted to 0.

Example Input File Syntax

Scalar-component inputs

In this example, ADVectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial is used to define the vector magnitude of the vector component inputs u and v which happen to be nonlinear variables in this case. u varies from 0 to 1 from bottom to top and v varies from 0 to 1 from left to right, such that the magnitude field is symmetric about the line y=x with the field value increasing moving to the top-right.

[functor]
  type = ADVectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial
  x_functor = u
  y_functor = v
  vector_magnitude_name = mat_mag
[]

Vector input

In this example, the functor provided by ADVectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial (which we name mat_mag to avoid collision with the auxiliary variable mag) computes the norm of the vector functor u, which is a nonlinear variable in this simulation.

  type = ADVectorMagnitudeFunctorMaterial
  vector_functor = u
  vector_magnitude_name = mat_mag
