GenericVectorFunctorMaterial

FunctorMaterial object for declaring vector properties that are populated by evaluation of functor (constants, functions, variables, matprops) object.

The functor system allows for using different functor types, functions, variables and functor material properties for example, for each component X, Y and Z of the vector functor material property.

This can be used to quickly create simple constant anisotropic functor material properties, for testing, for initial survey of a problem or simply because the material properties do not vary much over the domain explored by the simulation.

The non-functor equivalents of this material are GenericConstantVectorMaterial for constant values and GenericFunctionVectorMaterial for functions.

By default this class caches function evaluations and clears the cache at the beginning of every time step. Cache clearing behavior can be controlled by setting the execute_on parameter.

commentnote

Variables are automatically considered as AD functors, even auxiliary variables. The AD version of this material is ADGenericVectorFunctorMaterial. It creates AD vector functor material properties.

Example Input File Syntax

In this example, we create a GenericVectorFunctorMaterial to generate an anisotropic vector diffusivity and then compute the integral of the diffusive flux through a specified boundary on the mesh.

[./mat_props_vector]
  type = GenericConstantVectorMaterial
  boundary = 'right top'
  prop_names = diffusivity_vec
  prop_values = '1 1.5 1'
[../]
(moose/test/tests/postprocessors/side_diffusive_flux_integral/side_diffusive_flux_integral.i)

In this example, we create a GenericVectorFunctorMaterial for two anisotropic friction factors in a porous media flow simulation. Note the syntax for declaring two material properties and their values in the same material.

[FunctorMaterials]
  [darcy]
    type = ADGenericVectorFunctorMaterial
    prop_names = 'Darcy_coefficient Forchheimer_coefficient'
    prop_values = '0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1'
