LinearFVSource

Description

This kernel contributes to the right hand side of a system which is solved for a linear finite volume variable MooseVariableLinearFVReal. The contribution for each cell is the numerical integral of the source density function () in the following form:

where and denote the source density at the cell centroid and the cell volume, respectively. This integral is added to the corresponding entry of the right hand side of the linear system. The source density parameter ("source_density") accepts anything that supports functor-based evaluations. For more information on functors in MOOSE, see Functor system.

Example Syntax

The case below demonstrates the use of LinearFVSource where the force term is supplied based upon a function form:

[LinearFVKernels]
  [reaction]
    type = LinearFVReaction
    variable = u
    coeff = coeff_func
  []
  [source]
    type = LinearFVSource
    variable = u
    source_density = source_func
  []
