LinearFVPressureCorrectionDiffusion

Adds the pressure correction diffusion term for the linear finite volume SIMPLE algorithm.

This kernel adds the pressure correction diffusion term used by the linear finite volume SIMPLE algorithm. The pressure correction equation uses Ainv, the inverse momentum matrix diagonal, as the diffusion tensor. The Ainv functor is computed by RhieChowMassFlux.

For direct syntax, add the kernel to the [LinearFVKernels] block and pass the same kernel name to the "p_diffusion_kernel" parameter of RhieChowMassFlux:

Selecting Interpolation

Select average or harmonic interpolation for the Ainv face values with "pressure_diffusion_interpolation" on RhieChowMassFlux. When using the Physics syntax, set "pressure_diffusion_interpolation" instead:

      pressure_diffusion_interpolation = ${pressure_diffusion_ainv_interp_method}
(modules/navier_stokes/test/tests/finite_volume/ins/lid-driven/linear-segregated/lid-driven-segregated-physics.i)
      momentum_advection_interpolation = ${advected_interp_method}
      pressure_diffusion_interpolation = ${pressure_diffusion_ainv_interp_method}
