Detailed Description

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ Geometry

enum class Poisson::Geometry
strong

Types of background geometries for the Poisson equation.

Enumerator
FlatCartesian 

Euclidean (flat) manifold with Cartesian coordinates, i.e. the metric has components \(\gamma_{ij} = \delta_{ij}\) in these coordinates and thus all Christoffel symbols vanish: \(\Gamma^i_{jk}=0\).

Curved 

The manifold is either curved or employs curved coordinates, so non-vanishing Christoffel symbols must be taken into account.

Function Documentation

◆ add_curved_sources()

template<typename DataType , size_t Dim>
void Poisson::add_curved_sources ( gsl::not_null< Scalar< DataType > * >  source_for_field,
const tnsr::i< DataVector, Dim > &  christoffel_contracted,
const tnsr::I< DataType, Dim > &  flux_for_field 
)

Add the sources \(S=-\Gamma^i_{ij}v^j\) for the curved-space Poisson equation on a spatial metric \(\gamma_{ij}\).

These sources arise from the non-principal part of the Laplacian on a non-Euclidean background.

◆ fluxes_on_face()

template<typename DataType , size_t Dim>
void Poisson::fluxes_on_face ( gsl::not_null< tnsr::I< DataType, Dim > * >  flux_for_field,
const tnsr::I< DataVector, Dim > &  face_normal_vector,
const Scalar< DataType > &  field 
)

Compute the fluxes \(F^i=\gamma^{ij} n_j u\) where \(n_j\) is the face_normal.

The face_normal_vector is \(\gamma^{ij} n_j\).
