Re: [deal.II] Tips and tricks for functional tests on chaotic systems

Hi Wolfgang, Thank you for the suggestion. I did not think about it, but testing statistical properties (center of mass, average velocity, total kinetic energy) seems like a very sound idea! If you want to see an animation of DEM done using the deal.II particle library, you can find one on the

Hi Bruno, We are currently working on our DEM simulation engine using deal.II particles features. DEM lead to very chaotic systems (with positive Lyapunov exponents, like in MD), which means that slight discrepancies in floating point numbers can lead to exponentially different results. You

Dear all, I hope you are well. It is me again pestering you all with questions or looking for advice :). We are currently working on our DEM simulation engine using deal.II particles features. DEM lead to very chaotic systems (with positive Lyapunov exponents, like in MD), which means that

The FiniteElementDomination logic in the codim=0 case would indeed make up a cheap a priori check in this context. In case a FE_Nothing has been configured to dominate, the solution should be continuous on the interface if I understood correctly, i.e., zero on the face. I will write a few

The problem here is that the solution is not continuous across the face of a FE_Q and a FE_Nothing element. If a FE_Nothing is turned into a FE_Q element, the solution is suddenly expected to be continuous, and we have no rule in deal.II yet how to continue in the situation. In my opinion,

Hi Wolfgang, your explanation makes indeed more sense in the context of piecewise polynomials :) The problem here is that the solution is not continuous across the face of a FE_Q and a FE_Nothing element. If a FE_Nothing is turned into a FE_Q element, the solution is suddenly expected to be

Hi Amir, deal.II 9.1 requires c++11 deal.II 9.2 requires c++11 deal.II 9.3 will require c++14 Your only choice would be to use an older version of deal.II but I would strongly suggest updating your compilers instead. On Sun, Dec 27, 2020 at 12:09 AM amir kiani wrote: > > Hello. > Recently I

Dear all, I'm considering a multigrid method for the Stokes problem. I need to have an approximation of Schur complement at each level that is represented by a matrix-free operator. The problem is that in case of adaptive mesh refinement MGConstrainedDoFs assumes zero boundary condition at
