Model problem

This example uses adaptivity with dynamical meshes to solve the Tracy problem with arbitrary Runge-Kutta methods in time.

We assume the time-dependent Richard’s equation

(1)

where and are given functions of the unknown pressure head , are spatial coordinates, and is time.

equipped with a Dirichlet, given by the initial condition.

The pressure head ‘h’ is between -1000 and 0. For convenience, we increase it by an offset H_OFFSET = 1000. In this way we can start from a zero coefficient vector.

Weak formulation

The corresponding weak formulation reads

Defining weak forms

The weak formulation is a combination of custom Jacobian and Residual weak forms:

CustomWeakFormRichardsRK::CustomWeakFormRichardsRK() : WeakForm<double>(1)
{
  // Jacobian volumetric part.
  CustomJacobianFormVol* jac_form_vol = new CustomJacobianFormVol(0, 0);
  add_matrix_form(jac_form_vol);

  // Residual - volumetric.
  CustomResidualFormVol* res_form_vol = new CustomResidualFormVol(0);
  add_vector_form(res_form_vol);
}
