[petsc-users] I have a question for PETSc example

Thu Jan 18 05:10:18 CST 2018

Dear petsc-user.

Hi. I am trying several parts of example code, (SNES ex12.c : Poisson Problem in 2d and 3d with simplicial finite element)

and I have several problems to understand.

I appologize to sent a long and boring email to you...

1) About setting of geometry

[cid:009d718e-c50b-4bd9-8d2c-714321b9fc46]

[cid:7e0f732c-ecad-4ea7-a3f3-8d6a09bc5cc9]

[cid:40e3a7a8-4191-4693-bc97-84a550d5152f]

I referred the "DMPlexCreateBoxMesh" function to make simplicial box mesh.

I found that lower[] and upper[] are factors to set the size of the box mesh. Is it right?

Actually, I want to make a rectangular geometry with size of 3m x 1m, and four boundary (two dirichlet and two neumann condition).

If I wrong, please give me some tip to make a good geometry.

2) About application boundary condition

[cid:c6eed790-070c-4e66-8dbb-8b461fb06f10]

[cid:37a6abda-13a5-45bd-b751-2d193f784071]

I reffered the example "SNES ex69.c" to set a label and condition for the four boundarys.

First part of code is about label of boundary condition, and second part is about setting of boundary condition.

However, due to second part, error occurs.

Is there any wrong argument? Please give me some tip to applied four boundary conditions on the mesh.

3) About input parameters of DSSetJacobian()

In DSSetJacobian (prob, f, g, g0, g1, g2, g3), I have a problem to understand g0~g3

 g0 : integrand for test function and basis function

 g1 : integrand for test function gradient and basis function

 g2 : integrand for test function and basis function gradient

 g3 : integrand for test function gradient and basis function gradient

I have studied the FEM before one month, but I am very confused by above four terms.

I should study this in my self, but I need to some tip or internet address which include a helpful description about above terms.

(I think this issue is not good at this email, but I have been really suffered by above term...)

4) About useful tool to visualize the result and geometry

[cid:80900b60-6b68-4c72-8f3e-df0d475795d7]

I also have searched the tool which can express the visualized result and geometry.

Could you give me a tip to select the visualizing tool for better analysis?

Thanks you for reading my email.

Best regards,

Seungjin Seo

sorry, I mean that

My geometry is a rectangle.

That means, geometry is just rectangle box shape with four boundary.

My question is that, how can I set the four boundary condition individually in example 12 of SNES?

You put a different marker on each side. The easiest way to do it is to give the

  -dm_plex_separate_marker

option. This is done in SNES ex69.

  Thanks,

     Matt

(I think that the boundary condition should be added in right side of the weak form, where load vector f and test function term is included. However, in example of petsc, boundary condition is applied as general form.)

   The term "rectangular mesh" usually refers to a "structured grid mesh" so it is not clear if you truly need an unstructured grid. Take a look at src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex19.c

The example set general type of neumann boundary condition on f_bd_0, but I want to set each boundary condition individually. Could you give me some advise?

You simple provide your FormFunction and FormJacobian to handle both degrees of freedom per cell/node at the same time. You use SNES or TS depending on if your problem is time dependent and then use -pc_type lu to start. Once you have the physics correct come back and ask us about optimizing the linear solver with preconditioners; but until you have the physics correct it is absurd to waste time worrying about making the linear solver efficient. What you want to do, many people do and is not a big deal.
