Detailed Description

Base class for TimeSteppers with local time-stepping support, derived from TimeStepper.

Several of the member functions of this class are templated and perform type erasure before forwarding their arguments to the derived classes. This is implemented using the macros LTS_TIME_STEPPER_DECLARE_OVERLOADS, which must be placed in a private section of the class body, and LTS_TIME_STEPPER_DEFINE_OVERLOADS(derived_class), which must be placed in the cpp file.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_boundary_delta()

template<typename LocalVars , typename RemoteVars , typename Coupling >
void LtsTimeStepper::add_boundary_delta ( const gsl::not_null< BoundaryReturn< LocalVars, RemoteVars, Coupling > * >  result,
const BoundaryHistoryType< LocalVars, RemoteVars, Coupling > &  history,
const TimeDelta time_step,
const Coupling &  coupling 
) const
inline

Compute the change in a boundary quantity due to the coupling on the interface.

The coupling function coupling should take the local and remote flux data and compute the derivative of the boundary quantity. These values may be used to form a linear combination internally, so the result should have appropriate mathematical operators defined to allow that.

Derived classes must implement this as a function with signature

template <typename T>
void add_boundary_delta_impl(
const TimeDelta& time_step) const;
Represents an interval of time within a single slab.
Definition: Time.hpp:88
Type erased base class for evaluating BoundaryHistory couplings.
Definition: BoundaryHistory.hpp:74
Access to the list of TimeStepIds in a BoundaryHistory.
Definition: BoundaryHistory.hpp:40
Require a pointer to not be a nullptr
Definition: Gsl.hpp:183
Note
Unlike the update_u methods, which overwrite the result argument, this function adds the result to the existing value.

◆ boundary_dense_output()

template<typename LocalVars , typename RemoteVars , typename Coupling >
void LtsTimeStepper::boundary_dense_output ( const gsl::not_null< BoundaryReturn< LocalVars, RemoteVars, Coupling > * >  result,
const BoundaryHistoryType< LocalVars, RemoteVars, Coupling > &  history,
const double  time,
const Coupling &  coupling 
) const
inline

Derived classes must implement this as a function with signature.

template <typename T>
void boundary_dense_output_impl(
double time) const;

◆ clean_boundary_history()

template<typename LocalVars , typename RemoteVars , typename CouplingResult >
void LtsTimeStepper::clean_boundary_history ( const gsl::not_null< TimeSteppers::BoundaryHistory< LocalVars, RemoteVars, CouplingResult > * >  history) const
inline

Remove old entries from the history.

This should be called after update_u and dense output. Afterward, the history will generally require a new local entry to be added before it can be used by the TimeStepper.

Derived classes must implement this as a function with signature

void clean_boundary_history_impl(
const override;
Definition: BoundaryHistory.hpp:56

◆ neighbor_data_required() [1/2]

virtual bool LtsTimeStepper::neighbor_data_required ( const TimeStepId next_substep_id,
const TimeStepId neighbor_data_id 
) const
pure virtual

Check whether a neighbor record is needed for boundary output.

In order to perform boundary output, all records from the neighbor with TimeStepIds for which this method returns true should have been added to the history. Versions are provided for a substep and for dense output.

Implemented in TimeSteppers::AdamsBashforth, and TimeSteppers::AdamsMoultonPc< Monotonic >.

◆ neighbor_data_required() [2/2]

virtual bool LtsTimeStepper::neighbor_data_required ( double  dense_output_time,
const TimeStepId neighbor_data_id 
) const
pure virtual

Check whether a neighbor record is needed for boundary output.

In order to perform boundary output, all records from the neighbor with TimeStepIds for which this method returns true should have been added to the history. Versions are provided for a substep and for dense output.

Implemented in TimeSteppers::AdamsBashforth, and TimeSteppers::AdamsMoultonPc< Monotonic >.
