ADDGAdvection

Adds internal face advection flux contributions for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations

This is the automatic differentiation analog of DGConvection but with a couple distinctions:

  • The "velocity" parameter is a material property instead of a constant. This allows this object's use in a simulation where the velocity is being solved for and/or changing spatially. Additionally, the use of a material property as opposed to a coupled variable allows more straightforward propagation of derivatives for automatic differentiation.

  • A "advected_quantity" paramter is available which allows for advecting different quantities than the variable this object is acting upon

Example input syntax

In this example, a field u is advected from a boundary condition on its left to the right boundary with a 1 0 0 velocity. In addition to advection, the simulation is governed by loss of u through diffusion out of the top and bottom boundaries of the domain.
