Detailed Description

Infinite elements are in some sense directional, compared to conventional finite elements.

All methods related to the radial part, which extends perpendicular from the base, are collected in this class. This class offers static methods for use in InfFE and InfFEMap

D()

static Real libMesh::InfFERadial::D ( const Real  v )

inlinestatic

Returns

The radial weight D, used as an additional weight for the test function, evaluated at local radial coordinate v.

Definition at line 82 of file inf_fe.h.

{ return (1.-v)*(1.-v)/4.; }

D_deriv()

static Real libMesh::InfFERadial::D_deriv ( const Real  v )

inlinestatic

Returns

The first (local) radial derivative of the radial weight D.

Definition at line 87 of file inf_fe.h.

{ return (v-1.)/2.; }

decay()

Real libMesh::InfFERadial::decay ( const unsigned int  dim, const Real  v  )

inlinestatic

Returns

The decay in the radial direction of the Dim dimensional infinite element.

Definition at line 850 of file inf_fe.h.

{
  switch (dim)
    //TODO:[DD] What decay do i have in 2D and 1D?
    {
    case 3:
      return (1.-v)/2.;
 
    case 2:
      return 0.;
 
    case 1:
      return 0.;
 
    default:
      libmesh_error_msg("Invalid dim = " << dim);
    }

decay_deriv()

static Real libMesh::InfFERadial::decay_deriv ( const  Real )

inlinestatic

Returns

The first (local) derivative of the decay in radial direction of the infinite element.

This is only valid for 3D?? - RHS

Definition at line 76 of file inf_fe.h.

mapping_order()

static Order libMesh::InfFERadial::mapping_order ( )

inlinestatic

Returns

The Order of the mapping functions in the radial direction. Currently, this is always FIRST.

Definition at line 93 of file inf_fe.h.

n_dofs()

static unsigned int libMesh::InfFERadial::n_dofs ( const Order  o_radial )

inlinestatic

Returns

The number of shape functions in radial direction associated with this infinite element. Either way, if the modes are stored as nodal dofs (n_dofs_at_node) or as element dofs (n_dofs_per_elem), in each case we have the same number of modes in radial direction.

Note

For the case of 1D infinite elements, in the base the dof-per-node scheme is used.

From the formulation of the infinite elements, we have 1 mode, when o_radial=CONST. Therefore, we have a total of o_radial+1 modes in radial direction.

n_dofs_at_node()

unsigned int libMesh::InfFERadial::n_dofs_at_node ( const Order  o_radial, const unsigned int  n_onion  )

static

Returns

The number of dofs in radial direction on "onion slice" n (either 0 or 1) for an infinite element of type inf_elem_type and radial order o_radial.

Currently, the first radial mode is associated with the nodes in the base. All higher radial modes are associated with the physically existing nodes further out.

Definition at line 119 of file inf_fe_base_radial.C.

{
  libmesh_assert_less (n_onion, 2);
 
  if (n_onion == 0)
    /*
     * in the base, no matter what, we have 1 node associated
     * with radial direction
     */
    return 1;
  else
    /*
     * this works, since for Order o_radial=CONST=0, we still
     * have the (1-v)/2 mode, associated to the base
     */
    return static_cast<unsigned int>(o_radial);
}

n_dofs_per_elem()

static unsigned int libMesh::InfFERadial::n_dofs_per_elem ( const Order  o_radial )

inlinestatic

Returns

The number of modes in radial direction interior to the element, not associated with any interior nodes.

Note

These modes are a discontinuous approximation, therefore we have no special formulation for coupling in the base, like in the case of associating (possibly) multiple dofs per (outer) node.
