Thank you very much for your reply!

For m_c0ProjectExp->FwdTrans(var,var_Coeffs);
m_c0ProjectExp->BwdTrans(var_Coeffs,var_smooth);

The field var is obtained from a DG approximation. So var would be discontinuous across element boundaries.

My question is how the FwdTrans of C0 projection handles this discontinuity or what value is used on the element boundaries such as average or maximum of the two values at the same postion of element boundaries ?

Thank you!

Best

Jian

Hi Jain,

"If I have a discontinuous(across element interface) distribution of var, then what has been done during the above procedure?"
- You have projected your variable/field on CG Field. i.e. introduced C0 continuity across boundaries of the element.
- You projected your field on a field which has C0 continuity at element boundaries.

Example:
-Let us assume your var is a piece-wise p1(eg:3) degree polynomial. Exactly dis-continuous at element boundaries.
- Let us assume you are projecting your var on a field of p1.
- if you would have used MultiRegions::DisContField2D. The two operations would not have affected your variable. .i.e. var = var_smooth, var_smooth is C^{-1}(dis-cont) at element boundaries and p1 polynomial inside each element.
- Since you have used MultiRegions::ContField2D, Your var_Smooth has C0 continuity and you have p1 polynomial inside each element, but var != var_smooth. (Since you have reduced the degree of freedom).

The best section to read in the book would be section 2.2 from page 21.

Ashok.

Dear everyone,

I am trying to figure out the specific formulation when performing C0Projection, i.e.
If I define m_c0ProjectExp as following

m_c0ProjectExp = MemoryManager<MultiRegions::ContField2D>:: AllocateSharedPtr(m_session,m_graph,"DefaultVar");

Then what is the specific algorithm when perform the following command(all relative options are default)?
m_c0ProjectExp->FwdTrans(var,var_Coeffs);
m_c0ProjectExp->BwdTrans(var_Coeffs,var_smooth);

If I have a discontinuous(across element interface) distribution of var, then what has been done during the above procedure?

Could anyone please recommend me some materials on this? If possible, where can I find this topic on the book "Spectral/hp Element Methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics"

Thank you in advance!

Best wishes,

Jian Yu
