NAME¶

field - piecewise polynomial finite element field

DESCRIPTION¶

Store degrees of freedom associated to a mesh and a piecewise polynomial approximation, with respect to the numbering defined by the underlying space(2).

This class contains two vectors, namely unknown and blocked degrees of freedoms, and the associated finite element space. Blocked and unknown degrees of freedom can be set by using domain name indexation:

        geo omega ("circle");
        space Xh (omega, "P1");
        Xh.block ("boundary");
        field uh (Xh);
        uh ["boundary"] = 0;

INTERPOLATION¶

Interpolation of a function u in a field uh with respect to the interpolation writes:

        Float u (const point& x) { return x[0]*x[1]; }
        ...
        field uh = interpolate (Xh, u);

LINEAR ALGEBRA¶

Linear algebra, such as uh+vh, uh-vh and lambda*uh + mu*vh, where lambda and mu are of type Float, are supported. The duality product between two fields lh and vh writes simply dual(lh,vh): for discrete fields, it corresponds to a simple Euclidian dot product in IR^n. The application of a bilinear form (see form(2)) writes m(uh,vh) and is equivalent to dual(m*uh,vh).

NON-LINEAR ALGEBRA¶

Non-linear operations, such as sqrt(uh) or 1/uh are also available. Notice that non-linear operations do not returns in general picewise polynomials: the value returned by sqrt(uh) may be filtered by interpolate,

        field vh = interpolate (Xh, sqrt(uh));

the Lagrange interpolant, to becomes a piecewise polynomial: All standard unary and binary math functions abs, cos, sin... are available on fields. Also sqr(uh), the square of a field, and min(uh,vh), max(uh,vh) are provided. Binary functions can be used also with a scalar, as in

        field vh = interpolate (Xh, max (abs(uh), 0));
        field wh = interpolate (Xh, pow (abs(uh), 1./3));

For applying a user-provided function to a field, use the compose function:

        field vh = interpolate(Xh, compose(f, uh));
        field wh = interpolate(Xh, compose(f, uh, vh));

The composition supports also general unary and binary class-functions. Also, the multiplication uh*vh and the division uh/vh returns a result that is not in the same discrete finite element space: its result may be filtered by the interpolate operator:

        field wh = interpolate(Xh, uh*vh);

Any function or class function can be used in nonlinear expressions: the function is interpolated in the specified finite element space.

There is a special predefined class-function named normal that represents the outer unnit normal vector on a boundary domain or surfacic mesh:

        size_t k = omega.order();
        string n_approx = "P" + itos(k-1) + "d";
        space Nh (omega["boundary"], n_approx, "vector");
        field nh = interpolate(Nh, normal());

The normal() function could appear in any nonlinear field expression: it is evaluated on the fly, based on the current mesh. Notice that when using isoparametric elements, the normal vector is no more constant along any face of the mesh. Also, on general curved domains, the unit normal vector is discontinuous across boundary element interfaces.

ACCESS BY DOMAIN¶

The restriction of a field to a geometric domain, says "boundary" writes uh["boundary"]: it represents the trace of the field on the boundary:

        space Xh (omega, "P1");
        uh["boundary"] = 0;

Extraction of the trace as a field is also possible:

        field wh = uh["boundary"];

The space associated to the trace writes wh.get_space() and is equivalent to space(omega["boundary"], "P1"). See see space(2).

VECTOR VALUED FIELD¶

A vector-valued field contains several components, as:

        space Xh (omega, "P2", "vector");
        field uh (Xh);
        field vh = uh[0] - uh[1];
        field nh = norm (uh);

The norm function returns the euclidian norm of the vector-valuated field at each degree of freedom: its result is a scalar field.

TENSOR VALUED FIELD¶

A tensor-valued field can be constructed and used as:

        space Th (omega, "P1d", "tensor");
        field sigma_h (Xh);
        field trace_h = sigma(0,0) + sigma_h(1,1);
        field nh = norm (sigma_h);

The norm function returns the euclidian norm of the tensor-valuated field at each degree of freedom: its result is a scalar field. Notice that, as tensor-valued fields are symmetric, extra-diagonals are counted twice.

GENERAL MULTI-COMPONENT INTERFACE¶

A general multi-component field writes:

        space Th (omega, "P1d", "tensor");
        space Vh (omega, "P2", "vector");
        space Qh (omega, "P1");
        space Xh = Th*Vh*Qh;
        field xh (Xh);
        field tau_h = xh[0]; // tensor-valued
        field uh    = xh[1]; // vector-valued
        field qh    = xh[2]; // scalar

Remark the hierarchical multi-component field structure: the first-component is tensor-valued and the second-one is vector-valued. There is no limitation upon the hierarchical number of levels in use.

For any field xh, the string xh.valued() returns "scalar" for a scalar field and "vector" for a vector-valued one. Other possible valued are "tensor" and "other". The xh.size() returns the number of field components. When the field is scalar, it returns zero by convention, and xh[0] is undefined. A vector-valued field has d components, where d=omega.dimension(). A tensor-valued field has d*(d+1)/2 components, where d=omega.dimension().

BLOCKED AND UNBLOCKED ARRAYS¶

The field class contains two vectors of degrees-of-freedom (dof) associated respectively to blocked and unknown dofs. Blocked dofs corresponds to Dirichlet boundary conditions, as specified by space (See see space(2)). Access to these vectors is allowed via some accessors: a read-only one, as uh.u() and uh.b(), and a read-and-write one, as uh.set_u() and uh.set_b(), see see vec(2).

LOW-LEVEL DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM ACCESS¶

The field class provides a STL-like container interface for accessing the degrees-of-freedom (dof) of a finite element field uh. The number of dofs is uh.ndof() and any dof can be accessed via uh.dof(idof). A non-local dof at the partition interface can be obtain via uh.dis_dof(dis_idof) where dis_idof is the (global) distribued index assoiated to the distribution uh.ownership().

For performances, a STL-like iterator interface is available, with uh.begin_dof() and uh.end_dof() returns iterators to the dofs on the current processor. See see disarray(2) for more about distributed arrays.

For convenience, uh.max(), uh.min() and uh.max_abs() returns respectively the maximum, minimum and maximum of the absolute value of the degrees of freedom.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE¶

The field expression use the expression template technics in order to avoid temporaries when evaluating complex expressions.
