NekUsrWrkBoundaryIntegral

Compute integral of usrwrk over a boundary in the NekRS mesh

Description

This postprocessor computes the integral of a slot in the nrs->usrwrk array (sometimes called the "scratch space") over a boundary in the NekRS mesh,

where is the value of the postprocessor, is the boundary of the NekRS mesh, and is the slot in the scratch space array.

The boundaries over which to compute this postprocessor in the NekRS mesh are specified with the boundary parameter; these boundaries are the sidesets in NekRS's mesh (i.e. the .re2 file). You can specify more than one boundary, with syntax such as boundary = '1 2'. To be clear, this postprocessor is not evaluated on the NekRSMesh mesh mirror, but instead on the mesh actually used for computation in NekRS.

warningwarning

Because there can be anything in the scratch space, we do not necessarily know what the units are. Therefore, we do not dimensionalize the results of this postprocessor.

Example Input Syntax

As an example, the flux1 and flux2 postprocessors below will evaluate the integral of the first slot in nrs->usrwrk over two different boundaries in NekRS's mesh. For conjugate heat transfer, this particular slot represents the heat flux boundary condition sent to NekRS.

[Postprocessors]
  [flux1]
    type = NekUsrWrkBoundaryIntegral
    usrwrk_slot = 0
    boundary = '1'
  []
  [flux2]
    type = NekUsrWrkBoundaryIntegral
    usrwrk_slot = 0
    boundary = '2'
