PolarElectricPStrongEConst
Calculates a residual contribution due to -PE term in the total energy.
Overview
Calculates the residual and jacobian terms related to the polarization vector coupling to the electric field in the time-dependent Landau-Ginzburg-Devosnhire (TDLGD) equation. The vector value of is set in the input file and is not a MOOSE Variable
. This is the distinction compared to the other Kernel
named PolarElectricPStrong. We first consider the free energy density contribution,
where the TDLGD equation is,
The variational derivative of is, in index notation,
Ignoring the time derivative, bringing over the RHS to the LHS, and multiplying both sides by a test function , we have the residual contribution for ,
The on- and off-diagonal jacobian entries,
are zero since does not explicitly depend on . In this alternative version of the PolarElectricPStrong Kernel
, is just a vector value defined in the input file, so off-diagonal entries are also zero.
