/** # Advection scheme mess up with tensors *SP: This is not a bug. The default boundary conditions for scalar and *tensor fields are different. They must be different because scalar, *vector and tensor fields do not have the same symmetries. Setting the *boundary conditions for the tensor components identically, see the *code in main() below, gives the same results.* Given the tracer fields $A$ and $B$ related by the function $B = \log A$ ,for example. Observe that if $A$ obeys to the advection equation $B$ will do same, $$ \quad \partial_t A + \mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla A = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \partial_t B + \mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla B = 0 $$ Therefore, the relationship $B = \log A$ should hold in time. We will check that the advection scheme do not degenerate the functional relationship as time goes by. $A$ and/or $B$ could be scalars and/or components of a tensor. */ #define DT_MAX (0.001) #define MU0 10. // Viscosity #define uwall(x,t) (8*(1+tanh(8*(t-1/2)))*sq(x)*sq(1-x)) #include "navier-stokes/centered.h" #include "tracer.h" scalar A[], B[]; tensor T[]; scalar * tracers = {A, T.x.x, B}; int main() { /** *SP: here we set the boundary conditions for T to that of a symmetric scalar field.
