LaplacianJumpIndicator

Compute the jump of the solution laplacian across element bondaries.

Description

The LaplacianJumpIndicator object computes the error as computed by the change in the Laplacian of a variable across element interfaces.

warning:LaplacianJumpIndicator requires second derivatives

The Laplacian ( $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-be6dacf5-923a-4d77-a1e7-0191776072ec");katex.render("\\nabla^2 u", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ or $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-28f97eff-3da7-41e8-8479-9ba4f0a7daf9");katex.render("\\nabla\\cdot\\nabla u", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ ) operator requires second derivatives with respect to the spacial dimensions. As such, the selected finite elements must be at least second order for the calculation to be valid.

Input Parameters

variableThe name of the variable that this side indicator applies to
C++ Type:VariableName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The name of the variable that this side indicator applies to

Required Parameters

blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
scale_by_flux_facesFalseWhether or not to scale the error values by the number of flux faces. This attempts to not penalize elements on boundaries for having less neighbors.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Whether or not to scale the error values by the number of flux faces. This attempts to not penalize elements on boundaries for having less neighbors.
use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

Optional Parameters

control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
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
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
outputsVector of output names where you would like to restrict the output of variables(s) associated with this object
C++ Type:std::vector<OutputName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Vector of output names where you would like to restrict the output of variables(s) associated with this object
use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
