Re: [deal.II] Extracting Shape Laplacian

2017-08-09 Thread kylew
Thanks,

I did try looking at the documentation for FEValuesViews::Vector 
<
 
dim, spacedim >::hessian(const unsigned int shape_function, const unsigned 
int q_point)  before coming here, and all it provides is

"Return the Hessian (the tensor of rank 2 of all second derivatives) of the 
vector components selected by this view, for the shape function and 
quadrature point selected by the arguments."

I looked in fe_values.h to see if it was commented in the implementation 
and all that I see there is

  hessian_type return_value; 
  for (unsigned int d=0; d 

http://www.dealii.org/8.5.0/doxygen/deal.II/namespacePhysics_1_1Elasticity_1_1Kinematics.html#a15728437b942dab0b0042eb06a407d2c>
) 
if (shape_function_data[shape_function].
is_nonzero_shape_function_component[d]) 
   return_value[d] 
 = fe_values->finite_element_output.shape_hessians[
shape_function_data[shape_function].row_index[d]][q_point];

which I'm not quite sure how to parse. The comments in the header file only 
say "same as for the scalar case except that we have one more index." (the 
added index is d).

This is why I brought my question here.

I don't recall, but it should be documented somewhere with

If this is the case, is there a way to contract over the last two components 
to result in a rank 1 tensor that is the laplacian?


Not as you are trying, but you can easily write the summation over the last 
two indices by hand, of course.



I've also seen that I can use shape_hessian_component since I am using 
standard Q2-Q1 elements,


|
intcomponent_i =fe.system_to_component(k ).first;
Tensor<2,dim>hessian_phi =fe_values.shape_hessian_component(k,q,component_i );

In this case I can get the laplacian of the i'th component of the k'th shape 
function at quadrature point q by trace( hessian_phi ). But this will result 
in a rank 0 tensor.


Yes, it is the trace of the i'th component. You can then construct a
  Tensor<1,dim> traces;
  for (i=0...dim)
{
   traces_phi = fe_values.shape_hessian_component (...);
   traces[i] = trace(hessian_phi)

[deal.II] Extracting Shape Laplacian

2017-08-09 Thread kylew

Hello all,

I am working on implementing some stabilization methods for the 
Navier-Stokes equations, these techniques often require the use of the 
laplacian of the shape functions. I know I get the hessian of the k'th 
shape function at quadratue point q via the following

Tensor<3, dim> hessian_phi = fe_values[velocity_extractor].hessian(k, q);

My question is understanding what does this return, and how to extract the 
laplacian from it. Does hessian_phi[ i ][ j ][ k ] = \frac{  \partial 
\varphi_{ i }   } {  \partial x_{ j } \partial x_{ k }   }?

If this is the case, is there a way to contract over the last two 
components to result in a rank 1 tensor that is the laplacian? My idea was 
the following

std::vector< Tensor<1, dim> > laplace_phi_u (dofs_per_cell);
Tensor<3, dim> hessian_phi = fe_values[velocity_extractor].hessian(k, q);
for( int i=0; i hessian_phi = fe_values.shape_hessian_component( k, q, 
component_i );

In this case I can get the laplacian of the i'th component of the k'th 
shape function at quadrature point q by trace( hessian_phi ). But this will 
result in a rank 0 tensor. It would be much more convenient if I could 
convert this back into a rank 1 tensor as the laplacian of the k'th shape 
function. Again though I run into the same problem as above with only 0 
assignment is allowed.

Thanks

Re: [deal.II] Re: Can we say that the higher order method, the more accurate?

2017-08-09 Thread Martin Kronbichler

Dear Howe,

Regarding 1., the main question is whether you added the 'mapping' 
variable as the first arguments to all FEValues and FEFaceValues 
constructors, to calls to VectorTools::interpolate* and 
VectorTools::integrate_difference calls and the like, i.e., all routines 
that internally construct an FEValues or FEFaceValues object. There is 
defaults for many of those data structures using linear mappings, 
MappingQ1, but you don't want to use them but rather the high order 
description.


Regarding 2, I guess you are using a curved boundary description as 
explained in step-1? You need to tell the triangulation to use a curved 
description.


Regarding 3, your mesh looks quite good. You would probably want to use 
a volume manifold on the whole circular part of the domain, though. And 
ideally a TransfiniteInterpolationManifold on the regions where you go 
from the circle to the straight ends, but the latter is not yet 
available in any of the releases yet, only the github code, and it is 
not critical and you should get better results up to degree 3 at least.


Best,
Martin

Dear Howe,

How did you run your simulation? From your picture, it appears
that a higher order method is worse at higher degrees than a lower
order method, which does not match with my experience. If that
were the case, nobody would use high orders. However, you need to
bring many pieces in place to really get to the benefit of the
high order method for somewhat more complicated examples such as
the flow around a cylinder. Here is a list of things to look at:

- Do you use a high-order polynomial mapping MappingQ of the same
or higher degree as the interpolation space? Do you use this
mapping in all routines that evaluate quantities, such as the
usual assembly, the computation of the lift/drag, and so on?
- Do you use a manifold description that extends into the domain?
(Look into TransfiniteInterpolationManifold.) Without, you will
not get more than third order convergence.
- Do you have a good mesh around the area of interest? Flows
around cylinders tend to be really really sensitive to the mesh
quality around the cylinder.

For the Navier-Stokes equations around the cylinder, if everything
is done right one gets significantly improved results in terms of

[deal.II] Re: Can we say that the higher order method, the more accurate?

2017-08-09 Thread Howe
Dear Jaekwang 

Have you solved this problem? If yes, Could pls share your solution with us?
I am simulating a steady state flow over a cylinder, and the drag/lift 
coefficient shows an unexpected trend of change as i increase the 
discretization order and refine the mesh.



As is shown in the figure, the Cd increased as the cells increased for all 
the discretization orders, however, for a fixed cells, the Cd decreased as 
the discretization order increased.

In my opinion, to increase the order and refine the mesh should both make 
the approximation more close to the exact solution, thus should have the 
same trend of change.
