Description

MatNeumannBC is a generalization of NeumannBC which is used for imposing flux boundary conditions on systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) where the flux is represented by the product of a constant and a MOOSE Material Material. That is, for a PDE of the form $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-56e4757e-0150-49e3-a1aa-2a590c342d6e");katex.render("\\begin{aligned} -\\nabla \\cdot C (\\nabla u) &= f && \\quad \\in \\Omega \\\\ u &= g(t,\\vec{x}) && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_D \\\\ C \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial n} &= hM(t,\\vec{x}) && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_N, \\end{aligned}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$ where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-3c4ec5ab-6411-4de9-8be5-00cc3f93574d");katex.render("\\Omega \\subset \\mathbb{R}^n", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the domain, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-7394bbac-8f1d-4b33-9cc2-0b08f03e2d28");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega = \\partial \\Omega_D \\cup \\partial \\Omega_N", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is its boundary, a MatNeumannBC object can be used to impose condition (3) if the material is well-defined for all relevant times and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-c202c17a-c140-4078-a818-feb9f110d2a9");katex.render("\\vec{x} \\in \\partial \\Omega_N", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ . In this case, the boundary_material parameter corresponds to a MOOSE Material object, and the user must define one or more sidesets corresponding to the boundary subset $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-0a664a41-1388-4368-b1c3-d93534ed0a33");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega_N", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ via the boundary parameter.
