mkgeo_contraction(1rheolef)

NAME

mkgeo_contraction - mesh of an abrupt contraction (rheolef-7.2)

SYNOPSIS

mkgeo_contraction [options] [nx [ny]]

EXAMPLE

The following command build a triangle-based 2d unstructured mesh of the [-10,0]x[0,4] u [0,10]x[0,1] mesh

    mkgeo_contraction
    geo contraction.geo

DESCRIPTION

This command is convenient for building a mesh for the abrupt contraction, as it is a very classical benchmark in complex fluid flow problems. It calls bamg unstructured mesh generator with anisotropy feature. The mesh files goes on name.geo where name is the basename for the output (see option -name below). The three auxiliary files required for automatic mesh generation with Rheolef combined with bamg are also provided:

        name.bamg
        name.bamgcad
        name.dmn

THE GEOMETRY

The geometry is [-Lu,0]x[0,d] u [0,Ld]x[0,1]. By default c=4 is the contraction ratio and Lu=Ld=10 are the upstream and downstream pipe lengths.

-c float
-Lu float
-Ld float

These options control the geometry parameters.

-cartesian
-zr
-rz

These options control the geometry coordinate system. Default is Cartesian.

THE DISCRETIZATION

The optional nx and ny arguments are integers that specifies the subdivision in each direction. By default nx=1 and ny=nx. Changing the density applies the factor 1/nx to all the mesh edges lengths.

-hmin float

Controls the edge length at the re-entrant corner of the contraction. Default is hmin=0.1. Changing the density by the previous options applies the factor 1/n to hmin also.

BOUNDARY DOMAINS

The boundary sides are represented by domains: axis, wall, upstream and downstream.

OTHERS OPTIONS

-name string: Set the basename for the output files. By default, the basename is contraction.

-[no]split

Split each triangle in three subtriangles by inserting the barycenter as an additional node. This is useful for using the Scott and Vogelius incompressible mixed finite element P2-P1d for velocity-pressure approximation. Default is no split.

-[no]clean

Clear temporary files (this is the default).

-[no]verbose

In verbose mode, print to stderr all commands and logs.
