PINSFVSuperficialVelocityVariable

This variable type is specific to the porous media incompressible Navier Stokes equations. Kernels for these equations will expect this variable type to be used, because they are written for superficial velocity non-linear variables.

Input Parameters

    Controllable:No

    Description:Specifies the family of FE shape functions to use for this variable.

  • fvTrueTrue to make this variable a finite volume variable

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:True to make this variable a finite volume variable

  • nl_sysnl0If this variable is a nonlinear variable, this is the nonlinear system to which it should be added.

    Default:nl0

    C++ Type:NonlinearSystemName

    Controllable:No

    Description:If this variable is a nonlinear variable, this is the nonlinear system to which it should be added.

  • orderCONSTANTOrder of the FE shape function to use for this variable (additional orders not listed here are allowed, depending on the family).

    Default:CONSTANT

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:CONSTANT, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH, NINTH, TENTH, ELEVENTH, TWELFTH, THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH, FIFTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SEVENTEENTH, EIGHTTEENTH, NINETEENTH, TWENTIETH, TWENTYFIRST, TWENTYSECOND, TWENTYTHIRD, TWENTYFOURTH, TWENTYFIFTH, TWENTYSIXTH, TWENTYSEVENTH, TWENTYEIGHTH, TWENTYNINTH, THIRTIETH, THIRTYFIRST, THIRTYSECOND, THIRTYTHIRD, THIRTYFOURTH, THIRTYFIFTH, THIRTYSIXTH, THIRTYSEVENTH, THIRTYEIGHTH, THIRTYNINTH, FORTIETH, FORTYFIRST, FORTYSECOND, FORTYTHIRD

    Controllable:No

    Description:Order of the FE shape function to use for this variable (additional orders not listed here are allowed, depending on the family).

  • two_term_boundary_expansionTrueWhether to use a two-term Taylor expansion to calculate boundary face values. If the two-term expansion is used, then the boundary face value depends on the adjoining cell center gradient, which itself depends on the boundary face value. Consequently an implicit solve is used to simultaneously solve for the adjoining cell center gradient and boundary face value(s).

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to use a two-term Taylor expansion to calculate boundary face values. If the two-term expansion is used, then the boundary face value depends on the adjoining cell center gradient, which itself depends on the boundary face value. Consequently an implicit solve is used to simultaneously solve for the adjoining cell center gradient and boundary face value(s).

  • use_dualFalseTrue to use dual basis for Lagrange multipliers

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:True to use dual basis for Lagrange multipliers

Optional Parameters

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

    Controllable:No

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

  • eigenFalseTrue to make this variable an eigen variable

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:True to make this variable an eigen variable

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True
