DiffusionFV
Add diffusion physics discretized with cell-centered finite volume
See the DiffusionPhysicsBase documentation for the diffusion equation solved.
Finite Volume Discretization
The volumetric discretization of the time derivative uses the FVTimeKernel kernel. The diffusion term is integrated by parts and represented using a FVDiffusion kernel. The source term is added using:
a FVBodyForce if the source is a constant, a Postprocessor or a Function
a FVCoupledForce if the source is another type of functor
The Dirichlet boundary conditions are created using:
a FVDirichletBC if the boundary value is set to a number
a FVFunctionDirichletBC if set to a Function
a FVFunctorDirichletBC for any other kind of functor for the boundary value
The Neumann boundary conditions are created using:
a FVNeumannBC if the flux is set to a number
a FVFunctionNeumannBC if set to a Function
a FVFunctorNeumannBC for any other kind of functor for the flux value
We could use a Functor object to cover every need, but the specialized objects are a few percent faster, depending on the case.
