PorousFlowSquarePulsePointEnthalpySource

Point source that adds heat energy at a constant mass flux rate for times between the specified start and end times.

Description

PorousFlowSquarePulsePointEnthalpySource adds a point contribution to the energy (temperature) equation representing the heat carried by fluid injected at a single point, at a constant mass flux mass_flux and a fixed inlet temperature T_in, but only during the time window start_time end_time ("square pulse"):

where is evaluated by the fp fluid properties user object at the local porepressure and the fixed T_in, and ramps the mass flux linearly on and off across whichever timestep(s) straddle start_time or end_time, so that the total mass (and hence energy) injected over the pulse is exact regardless of the timestep size used – see PorousFlowSquarePulsePointEnthalpySink for the full enumeration of the ramp cases. Unlike that sink counterpart, this object always uses the fixed T_in rather than the local solution temperature, and its residual carries the opposite sign convention (it adds, rather than removes, heat energy for a positive mass_flux).

The constructor errors if end_time is not strictly greater than start_time.

  • search_methodnearest_node_connected_sidesChoice of search algorithm. All options begin by finding the nearest node in the primary boundary to a query point in the secondary boundary. In the default nearest_node_connected_sides algorithm, primary boundary elements are searched iff that nearest node is one of their nodes. This is fast to determine via a pregenerated node-to-elem map and is robust on conforming meshes. In the optional all_proximate_sides algorithm, primary boundary elements are searched iff they touch that nearest node, even if they are not topologically connected to it. This is more CPU-intensive but is necessary for robustness on any boundary surfaces which has disconnections (such as Flex IGA meshes) or non-conformity (such as hanging nodes in adaptively h-refined meshes).
