Question #156790 on DOLFIN changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/dolfin/+question/156790
Status: Open => Answered
Mikael Mortensen proposed the following answer:
Hi,
There is an Eikonal solver in the CBC.RANS project on
https://launchpad.net/cbc.rans.
Basically, you need to declare a nonlinear problem. Try something like
y = Function(Q)
eps = Constant(0.01)
F = inner(grad(y), grad(y))*v*dx - n**2*v*dx + eps*inner(grad(u),
grad(v))*dx
J = derivative(F, y, u)
bc = DirichletBC(Q, Constant(0), DomainBoundary())
problem = VariationalProblem(J, -F, bcs)
y = problem.solve()
where the last term in F is for stabilization. There are other possibilities
for
stabilizing as well, but this is the one that works for me.
Hope it works. Look up the nonlinear demos if it doesn't. (Never tried it in
1D before)
Best regards
Mikael
