SinDirichletBC

Imposes a time-varying essential boundary condition $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ac2a7403-49ee-43e3-8632-26eccb7817c6");katex.render("u=g(t)", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-0865cdd8-7bad-4915-8efb-f69a287bc115");katex.render("g(t)", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ varies from an given initial value at time $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-e8e34ffd-6c98-4725-8dd4-58de14158772");katex.render("t=0", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ to a given final value over a specified duration.

Description

SinDirichletBC is a NodalBC which imposes a time-varying boundary value of the form

$(1)var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-9a021f8e-ca61-420c-8265-357f2fa48cec");katex.render(" g(t) = \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} g_0 + (g_T - g_0) \\sin \\left( \\frac{\\pi t}{2T} \\right), & 0 < t \\leq T \\\\ g_T, & t \\geq T \\end{array} \\right.", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-4b0c28e6-df60-4c87-ba88-58930b977889");katex.render("g_0", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-4ec9e78c-e0ec-48b3-a5e1-9c18ffdc2dc6");katex.render("g_T", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ are the initial and final values of $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-07d64ce1-f98a-476a-937c-af6e88df7d95");katex.render("g", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , respectively, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-0f39af6d-81a6-47f4-be8d-bf7c951e436f");katex.render("T", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the final time. These values are controlled by the initial, final, and duration parameters, respectively. The value is applied on one or more sidesets specified by the boundary parameter and does not vary in space. This type of boundary condition is applicable to time-varying PDEs, for example:

$(2)var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-d5a2e050-9e0d-41f1-9325-6d1bd0a34a1a");katex.render("\\begin{aligned} \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial t} -\\nabla^2 u &= f && \\quad \\in \\Omega \\\\ u &= g(t) && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega \\end{aligned}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

and is frequently used to "ramp" a difficult boundary condition to its final value over a short time interval, rather than imposing it instantaneously at time $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-e0726286-5983-4b09-bbd1-b250f4c2b1fd");katex.render("t=0", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ . This approach can make nonlinear solvers more robust by improving the initial guess used by the Newton iterations, as well as preventing the solver from converging to non-physical solutions in nonlinear PDEs.
