INSElementIntegralEnergyAdvection

Computes the net volumetric balance of energy transported by advection

This class performs volumetric (global, or by block) integration of the energy advection term defined in INSADEnergyAdvection, which is defined by

ρcpuT\rho c_p \vec u \cdot \nabla T

where ρ\rho is the density, cpc_p is the specific heat capacity, u\vec u is the velocity, and T\nabla T is the temperature gradient. AD instantiations of this object are denoted by INSADElementIntegralEnergyAdvection, hand-coded by INSElementIntegralEnergyAdvection. The former retrieves the density and specific heat capacity as ADReal material properties while the former retrieves the same properties as Real.

This class performs volumetric integration (element-based as opposed to side-based) of the advection term because the incompressibility constraint is applied to the energy advection term and the term is not integrated by parts. Details about the finite element implementation of the energy advection term can be found on the INSADEnergyAdvection page.
