<p>When I first tried to handle the periodicity, I found the <tt>DMPlexCreateBoxMesh</tt>
function (I cannot find the cylinder one).</p>
<p>From reading the sources, I understand that we do some work
either in <tt>DMPlexCreateCubeMesh_Internal</tt> or with <tt>DMSetPeriodicity</tt>.</p>
<p>I tried to use <tt>DMSetPeriodicity</tt> before, for example
with a 2x2 box on length 10. I did something like:<br>
</p>
<tt> const PetscReal maxCell[] = {2, 2};</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>const PetscReal L[] = {10, 10};</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>const DMBoundaryType bd[] = {DM_BOUNDARY_PERIODIC,
DM_BOUNDARY_PERIODIC}</tt><tt>;<br>
</tt><tt>DMSetPeriodicity(dm, PETSC_TRUE, maxCell, L, bd);<br>
</tt><tt>// or:<br>
</tt><tt>DMSetPeriodicity(dm, PETSC_TRUE, NULL, L, bd);</tt><br>
<p>but it did not work: <br>
</p>
<tt>VecSet(X, 1);<br>
DMGetLocalVector(dm, &locX);</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>VecZeroEntries(locX);</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>DMGlobalToLocalBegin(dm, X, INSERT_VALUES, locX);</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>DMGlobalToLocalEnd(dm, X, INSERT_VALUES, locX);</tt><br>
<tt>VecView(locX, PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD);</tt>
<p>but the ghost cells values are all 0, only the real cells are 1.
So I guess <tt>DMSetPeriodicity</tt> alone is not sufficient to
handle the periodicity. Is there a way to do what I want ? That is
set up my DMPlex in a way that <tt>DMGlobalToLocalBegin/</tt><tt>DMGlobalToLocalEnd</tt>
do exchange values between procs AND exchange the periodic values?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the help</p>

<p>It makes sense, thank you. In fact, both ways seems
better than my way. The first one looks the most
straightforward. Unfortunately I do not know how to
implement either of them. Could you please direct me to
the corresponding PETSc functions ?<br>

<div>The first way is implemented for example in

<br>
I'm writing a code using PETSc to solve NS
equations with FV on an <br>
unstructured mesh. Therefore I use DMPlex.<br>
<br>
Regarding periodicity, I manage to implement it
this way:<br>
<br>
- for each couple of boundaries that is linked
with periodicity, I <br>
create a buffer vector with an
ISLocalToGlobalMapping<br>
<br>
- then, when I need to fill the ghost cells
corresponding to the <br>
periodicity, the i "true" cell of the local vector
fills the buffer <br>
vector on location i with
VecSetValuesBlockedLocal, then <br>
VecAssemblyBegin/VecAssemblyEnd ensure each value
is send to the correct <br>
location thanks to the mapping, then the i "ghost"
cell of the local <br>
vector reads the vector on location i to get it's
value.<br>
<br>
<br>
It works, but it seems to me there is a better
way, with maybe PetscSF, <br>
VecScatter, or something I don't know yet. Does
anyone have any advice ?<br>

</div>
<div>There are at least two other ways to handle
this. First, the method that is advocated in</div>
<div>Plex is to actually make a periodic geometry,
meaning connect the cells that are meant</div>
<div>to be connected. Then, if you partition with
overlap = 1, PetscGlobalToLocal() will fill in</div>
<div>these cell values automatically.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second, you could use a non-periodic geometry,
but alter the LocalToGlobal map such</div>
<div>that the cells gets filled in anyway. Many
codes use this scheme and it is straightforward</div>
<div>with Plex just by augmenting the map it makes
automatically.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this make sense?</div>
