FVMatAdvection

Computes the residual of advective term using finite volume method.

The FVMatAdvection kernel is similar to the FVAdvection kernel except that:

  • the velocity is a material property instead of a constant vector, so it may vary throughout the domain

  • an advected quantity

In order to solve for the velocity, one needs to add a VariableMaterial, such as the INSFVMaterial to store a copy of the velocity variable as a material property.

As we are expanding the functor material & variable capability, having the velocity as a material property will no longer be required.

Example input syntax

In this example, the kernels are set up for a steady state advection problem of both momentum and mass. For the former the advected_quantity is set to the momentum. This case uses a constant unit density. Please refer to the Navier Stokes module for more advanced fluid flow capabilities.

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.

    Controllable:No

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