DerivativePDETerm

DerivativePDETerm[vars,γ]

represents a load derivative term with load derivative coefficient and model variables vars.

DerivativePDETerm[vars,γ,pars]

uses model parameters pars.

Details

  • A load derivative is typically used to model derivatives of a source or sink.
  • Computing a derivative with a source derivative coefficient is the process of adding the derivative of a source in a model by:
  • DerivativePDETerm returns a differential operators term to be used as a part of partial differential equations:
  • DerivativePDETerm can be used to model derivatives in 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 source derivative term in context with other PDE terms is given by:
  • The coefficient affects the meaning of NeumannValue.
  • The source derivative coefficient has the following form:
  • {γ1,…,γn}{gamma_(1),...,gamma_(n)}vector
  • For a system of PDEs with dependent variables {u1,…,um}, the load derivative represents:
  • The derivative term in context systems of PDE terms:
  • The load derivative coefficient is a tensor of rank 3 of the form where each subvector is a vector of length that is specified in the same way as for a single dependent variable.
  • The load derivative 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.
