PorousFlowSquarePulsePointSource

PorousFlowSquarePulsePointSource implements a constant mass point source that adds (removes) fluid at a constant mass flux rate for times between the specified start and end times. If no start and end times are specified, the source (sink) starts at the start of the simulation and continues to act indefinitely. For instance:

[DiracKernels]
  [sink1]
    type = PorousFlowSquarePulsePointSource
    start_time = 100
    end_time = 300
    point = '0.5 0.5 0'
    mass_flux = -0.1
    variable = pp
  []
  [sink]
    type = PorousFlowSquarePulsePointSource
    start_time = 600
    end_time = 1400
    point = '0.5 0.5 0'
    mass_flux = -0.1
    variable = pp
  []
  [source]
    point = '0.5 0.5 0'
    start_time = 1500
    mass_flux = 0.2
    end_time = 2000
    variable = pp
    type = PorousFlowSquarePulsePointSource

Input Parameters

  • mass_fluxThe mass flux at this point in kg/s (positive is flux in, negative is flux out)

    C++ Type:double

    Controllable:No

    Description:The mass flux at this point in kg/s (positive is flux in, negative is flux out)

  • pointThe x,y,z coordinates of the point source (sink)

    C++ Type:libMesh::Point

    Controllable:No

    Description:The x,y,z coordinates of the point source (sink)

  • variableThe name of the variable that this residual object operates on

    C++ Type:NonlinearVariableName

    Controllable:No

    Description:The name of the variable that this residual object operates on

Required Parameters

  • blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

  • end_time1e+30The time at which the source will end (Default is 1e30)

    Default:1e+30

    C++ Type:double

    Controllable:No

    Description:The time at which the source will end (Default is 1e30)

  • point_not_found_behaviorIGNOREBy default (IGNORE), it is ignored if an added point cannot be located in the specified subdomains. If this option is set to ERROR, this situation will result in an error. If this option is set to WARNING, then a warning will be issued.

    Default:IGNORE

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:ERROR, WARNING, IGNORE

    Controllable:No

    Description:By default (IGNORE), it is ignored if an added point cannot be located in the specified subdomains. If this option is set to ERROR, this situation will result in an error. If this option is set to WARNING, then a warning will be issued.

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Controllable:No

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • start_time0The time at which the source will start (Default is 0)

    Default:0

    C++ Type:double

    Controllable:No

    Description:The time at which the source will start (Default is 0)

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • drop_duplicate_pointsTrueBy default points added to a DiracKernel are dropped if a point at the same locationhas been added before. If this option is set to false duplicate points are retainedand contribute to residual and Jacobian.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:By default points added to a DiracKernel are dropped if a point at the same locationhas been added before. If this option is set to false duplicate points are retainedand contribute to residual and Jacobian.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • implicitTrueDetermines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Determines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form

  • seed0The seed for the master random number generator

    Default:0

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Controllable:No

    Description:The seed for the master random number generator

  • use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
