VectorDirichletBC

Imposes the essential boundary condition $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-30310890-6a41-4e4d-9844-9de300d52eff");katex.render("\\vec{u}=\\vec{g}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-20d26a1f-e718-4a6c-9e02-3f0e25efccce");katex.render("\\vec{g}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ are constant, controllable values.

Description

VectorDirichletBC is the extension of DirichletBC to Lagrange vector variables and is used for imposing so-called "essential" boundary conditions on systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). Such boundary conditions force a particular set of degrees of freedom (DOFs) defined by the boundary parameter to take on controllable values. This class is appropriate to use for PDEs of the form $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-f438ca9c-e361-45e2-8fa4-72c960f62248");katex.render("\\begin{aligned} -\\nabla^2 \\vec{u} &= \\vec{f} && \\quad \\in \\Omega \\\\ \\vec{u} &= \\vec{g} && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_D \\\\ \\frac{\\partial \\vec{u}}{\\partial n} &= \\vec{h} && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_N \\end{aligned}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-43c4bec7-8186-4598-b74b-c215f63ed96f");katex.render("\\Omega \\subset \\mathbb{R}^n", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the domain, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-1f764e5e-10e9-4ad3-909b-bc9e2cb20526");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega = \\partial \\Omega_D \\cup \\partial \\Omega_N", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is its boundary. In this case, a VectorDirichletBC object is used to impose the condition (2) on the subset of the boundary denoted by $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-d0ed0844-d729-421e-9ab2-a3a2bc6f1dbe");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega_D", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ . In this case, the values correspond to the constant components of $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ce7a5e9b-03f1-4df1-844a-386e5bfa9dee");katex.render("\\vec{g}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , and the user must define one or more sidesets corresponding to the boundary subset $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-f313c423-1739-4cf2-9da1-909af2f0932f");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega_D", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ .
