MFEMVectorTangentialDirichletBC

Overview

Boundary condition for enforcing an essential (Dirichlet) boundary condition on the tangential components of a conforming vector FE at a boundary. The boundary value is a coefficient that may vary in space and/or time.

Input Parameters

  • boundary-1 The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies. Defaults to all boundaries.

    Default:-1

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

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies. Defaults to all boundaries.

  • variableVariable on which to apply the boundary condition

    C++ Type:VariableName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Variable on which to apply the boundary condition

  • vector_coefficient0. 0. 0.Vector coefficient specifying the values the variable takes on the boundary. A functor is any of the following: a variable, an MFEM material property, a function, a postprocessor or a numeric vector value (enclosed in curly braces).

    Default:0. 0. 0.

    C++ Type:MFEMVectorCoefficientName

    Controllable:No

    Description:Vector coefficient specifying the values the variable takes on the boundary. A functor is any of the following: a variable, an MFEM material property, a function, a postprocessor or a numeric vector value (enclosed in curly braces).

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.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
