Hello,

I am trying to understand the MIT code written by Ross Kynch.

I am facing a problem to understand the implementation of boundary conditions.

As we know we impose boundary conditions to calcluate the unknown coefficients. I don't understand how is he implementing the code given below to determine the coefficients?

I don't know why he defined two functions:

virtual void vector_value_list (const std::vector<Point<dim> > &points,

std::vector<Vector<double> > &values) const;

virtual void vector_value_list (const std::vector<Point<dim> > &points,

std::vector<Vector<double> > &values,

const types::material_id &mat_id) const;

template<int dim>
class curlFunction : public Function<dim>
{
public:
//   curlFunction ();//unsigned int n_components = dim+dim);
  virtual void curl_value_list (const std::vector<Point<dim> > &points,
                                std::vector<Vector<double> >   &values) const = 0;
                                
  //virtual void perturbed_field_value_list (const std::vector<Point<dim> > &points,
  //                                         std::vector<Vector<double> >   &values) const = 0;
};

template<int dim>
class perturbedFunction : public curlFunction<dim>
{
public:
//   perturbedFunction ();//unsigned int n_components = dim+dim);
  virtual void curl_value_list (const std::vector<Point<dim> > &points,
                                std::vector<Vector<double> >   &values) const = 0;

                                           std::vector<Vector<double> >   &values) const = 0;
};

// Base Function class for all EddyCurrent problems.
// The idea here is to allow implementation of boundary conditions of the type:
// n x E = f (Dirichlet) and n x curl(E) = g (Neumann)
//
// which can be handled through the vector_value_list and curl_value_list functions.
//
// The RHS of the equation can be handled through the rhs_value_list.
//
// The perturbed_field_value_list can be used for comparison with analytical/asymptotic formulae.
//
// We also include the boolean function zero_xxx() for each to return if the function is simply zero.
// this allows us to avoid wasted computation which are automatically zero (e.g. in RHS assembly).
//
// We also include the option of passing a material_id to the function. Since we are typically
// dealing with subdomains where we have conducting/non-conducting objects, this allows communication
// from structure in the mesh to the function, if required (default is off).
template<int dim>
class EddyCurrentFunction : public Function<dim>
{
public:
  // Leave out constructor for now, we may need to create one which
  // calls the Function constructor with n_components = dim+dim by default).
  //EddyCurrentFunction (unsigned int n_components = dim+dim);
  
  // We overload each member so that it implements the style found in Function<dim>
  // as well as allowing the use of the material_id if required.
  // The obvious way to do this is to implement the Function<dim>-style version by
  // calling the material_id version with numbers::invalid_material_id,
  // effectively making it the default value for that argument.
  //
  // Obviously derived classes an bypass this if required.

Dear Muhammad,

I think Ross implemented vector_value_list() this way so that he could use one function object to give correct values with multiple material IDs: see

https://github.com/rosskynch/MIT_Forward/blob/master/src/forwardsolver.cc#L724

to see where he uses an object inheriting from EddyCurrentFunction to do exactly this (though in that case he uses this function to set up the right-hand side instead of boundary values).

Several are implemented here:

https://github.com/rosskynch/MIT_Forward/blob/master/include/backgroundfield.h#L46

Thanks,

David
