ADConservativeAdvectionBC

Description

The ADConservativeAdvectionBC boundary condition pairs with the ADConservativeAdvection kernel. It can be used for both Dirichlet and "implicit" boundary conditions which use only information from the equation systems solution vectors. Velocity must be provided, either through the velocity_mat_prop parameter (implicit information) or through the velocity_function parameter (Dirichlet information). Similarly, for Dirichlet conditions, a primal_dirichlet_value should be supplied. Otherwise the advected quantity will be determined from implicit information either through the supplied advected_quantity or if that is not supplied, the variable solution. If primal_dirichlet_value is supplied, then a primal_coefficient material property name may be supplied which will multiply the primal_dirichlet_value.

An example of this boundary condition's use is shown in the listing below for both an inlet and outlet condition. At the inlet (boundary = left) both the velocity and primal value (the variable u in this case) are prescribed. At the outlet (boundary= right) due to the absence of primal_dirichlet_value, the current solution value of u is used. Additionally, the velocity is also determined implicitly through velocity_mat_prop.
