Hi Song, You should be able to achieve this using a Body forcing. To do this, add the following Forcing section to your xml file <FORCING> <FORCE TYPE="Body"> <BODYFORCE> BodyForce </BODYFORCE> <FIELDFORCETIMEFCN> s1 </FIELDFORCETIMEFCN> </FORCE> </FORCING> and define the BodyForce function <FUNCTION NAME="BodyForce"> <E VAR="rho" VALUE="s0_rho" /> <E VAR="rhou" VALUE="s0_rhou" /> <E VAR="E" VALUE="s0_E" /> </FUNCTION> where you should replace s1 and s0 by the expressions you need for your model. I think you can obtain a discontinuous s1 by using logical expressions (e.g. s1 = (t>1)*2 + 1). However, since the symbols < and > can cause problems in the xml format, they must be replaced by < and > Cheers, Douglas 2017-02-27 3:59 GMT-03:00 Song Ke <songke21@outlook.com>:
Hi All,
I am trying to define an ununiform and unsteady source term in CompressibleFlowSolver (nektar 4.3.5).
The source term is independant on flow fields ,and can be defined as s(x,y,z, t) = s0(x,y,z)* s1(t)
Here, "s0" can be obtain by a numerical model, and "s1" is a simple and discontinuous function. ( "t" is time.)
Can anyone please give me some advise of how to set this source term to CompressibleFlowSolver ?
Thanking you.
Regards,
S.Ke
