ConservativeConvectionPDETerm

ConservativeConvectionPDETerm[vars,α]

represents a conservative convection term with conservative convection coefficient and model variables vars.

ConservativeConvectionPDETerm[vars,α,pars]

uses model parameters pars.

Details

  • Conservative convection is typically used to model transport due to a bulk movement and should be used when the divergence of convection velocity is nonzero.
  • Convection with a conservative convection coefficient is the process of transport of the dependent variable :

    • .

  • ConservativeConvectionPDETerm returns a differential operators term to be used as a part of partial differential equations:
  • ConservativeConvectionPDETerm can be used to model conservative convection equations with dependent variable , independent variables and time variable .
  • Stationary model variables vars are vars={u[x1,…,xn],{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Time-dependent model variables vars are vars={u[t,x1,…,xn],{x1,…,xn}} or vars={u[t,x1,…,xn],t,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • The conservative convection term in context with other PDE terms is given by:
  • ConservativeConvectionPDETerm is similar to ConvectionPDETerm but affects the meaning of NeumannValue and has a coefficient that is part of the divergence .
  • The conservative convection coefficient has the following form:
  • {α1,…,αn}(alpha_(1),...,alpha_(n))vector
  • For a system of PDEs with dependent variables {u1,…,um}, the conservative convection represents:
  • The conservative convection term in context systems of PDE terms:
  • The conservative convection coefficient is a tensor of rank 3 of the form , where each submatrix is a vector of length that is specified in the same way as for a single dependent variable.
  • The conservative convection coefficient can depend on time, space, parameters and the dependent variables.
  • The following parameters pars can be given:
  • parameterdefaultsymbol
    "RegionSymmetry"None
  • A possible choice for the parameter "RegionSymmetry" is "Axisymmetric".
  • "Axisymmetric" region symmetry represents a truncated cylindrical coordinate system where the cylindrical coordinates are reduced by removing the angle variable as follows:
  • dimensionreductionequation
    1D
    2D
  • All quantities that do not explicitly depend on the independent variables given are taken to have zero partial derivative.

Possible Issues  (2)

A conservative convection term with a 0-flow velocity field evaluates to 0:

A symbolic conservative convection coefficient is interpreted as a vector convection coefficient:

A subsequent substitution must account for that:

An alternative is to specify the symbolic convection coefficient as a vector:
