IntegralPreservingFunctionIC

Function initial condition that preserves an integral

Description

Sets an initial condition while preserving an integral. The "function" is used to specify the overall "form" of the initial condition, such that the applied initial condition is

$(1)var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-12076d87-5aee-4d9d-bcb1-2662a4964af9");katex.render(" u(\\vec{r}, t_0) = q_0 f(\\vec{r}, t_0)", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-cdd269d4-6753-4c42-87b7-1b7a254c0262");katex.render("u", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the variable, $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-498f8f36-b818-4fd9-9476-8a09e29fde67");katex.render("f", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the function, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-3aa56cf4-7b6c-4d38-9c91-f800fe215643");katex.render("q_0", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is a scaling factor used to preserve a total "magnitude" upon volume integration:

$(2)var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-2409f28a-6d17-48c3-9cd0-dee11435e8df");katex.render(" q_0=\\frac{Q}{\\int_\\Omega fd\\Omega}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-c6e76e51-f14b-4599-9452-ab0ff72f2ef4");katex.render("Q", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the total magnitude and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-92df8746-28a1-42e4-94d0-4fb89be756bf");katex.render("\\Omega", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the domain of integration.

Example Input Syntax

As an example, below we set a sinusoidal heat source with generic form $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-dd05bbb8-3eec-42be-8f64-0eb9ad8f6a95");katex.render("\\sin{\\left(\\frac{\\pi z}{H}\\right)}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ for a total magnitude of 550 (upon volume integration). This means that the actual initial condition is $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-50424ceb-d9a0-4583-8882-f12df1b4ea2a");katex.render("q_0\\sin{\\left(\\frac{\\pi z}{H}\\right)}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ac95ce73-80f0-49a2-a5bd-d96f258e1ac1");katex.render("q_0", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is determined in order to satisfy the specified total volume integral.
