PINSFVRhieChowInterpolator

Performs interpolations and reconstructions of porosity and computes the Rhie-Chow face velocities.

Overview

This object inherits from INSFVRhieChowInterpolator and does all the same operations, but in addition optionally performs successive interpolation-reconstruction operations on the porosity, which in effect is a smoothing operation, helping to create monotone behavior near porosity discontinuities. These interpolation-reconstruction operations are triggered by setting the smoothing_layers parameter. One reconstruction corresponds to one interpolation to the face and reconstruction back to the center, effectively increasing the "stencil" of the porosity by one layer per smoothing_layer. If performing smoothing_layers on the porosity, the input porosity functor cannot be a MOOSE variable or a function of a MOOSE variable, as smoothing_layers would then require algebraic ghosting of the solution vectors.
