FVOrthogonalDiffusion

Imposes an orthogonal diffusion term.

Overview

This object implements an intercell flux equivalent to

where is a diffusion coefficient that is linearly interpolated between the cell centroids and (denoting neighbor and element respectively), is the value of the diffusion quantity at the neighbor cell centroid, is the value of the diffusing quantity at the element cell and is the distance vector drawn from the element centroid to the neighbor centroid.

Tagging Parameters

  • boundaries_to_avoidThe set of sidesets to not execute this FVFluxKernel on. This takes precedence over force_boundary_execution to restrict to less external boundaries. By default flux kernels are executed on all internal boundaries and Dirichlet boundary conditions.

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Controllable:No

    Description:The set of sidesets to not execute this FVFluxKernel on. This takes precedence over force_boundary_execution to restrict to less external boundaries. By default flux kernels are executed on all internal boundaries and Dirichlet boundary conditions.

  • boundaries_to_forceThe set of sidesets to force execution of this FVFluxKernel on. Setting force_boundary_execution to true is equivalent to listing all external mesh boundaries in this parameter.

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Controllable:No

    Description:The set of sidesets to force execution of this FVFluxKernel on. Setting force_boundary_execution to true is equivalent to listing all external mesh boundaries in this parameter.

  • force_boundary_executionFalseWhether to force execution of this object on all external boundaries.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to force execution of this object on all external boundaries.

Boundary Execution Modification Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • implicitTrueDetermines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Determines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form

  • seed0The seed for the master random number generator

    Default:0

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Controllable:No

    Description:The seed for the master random number generator

  • use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.

Advanced Parameters

  • ghost_layers1The number of layers of elements to ghost.

    Default:1

    C++ Type:unsigned short

    Controllable:No

    Description:The number of layers of elements to ghost.

  • use_point_neighborsFalseWhether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to use point neighbors, which introduces additional ghosting to that used for simple face neighbors.
