Equilibrium Temperature Distribution with Mixed Boundary Conditions and using EnsembleProblems

For this tutorial, we consider the following problem:

\[\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \grad^2 T &= 0 & \vb x \in \Omega, \\ \grad T \vdot \vu n &= 0 & \vb x \in \Gamma_1, \\ T &= 40 & \vb x \in \Gamma_2, \\ k\grad T \vdot \vu n &= h(T_{\infty} - T) & \vb x \in \Gamma_3, \\ T &= 70 & \vb x \in \Gamma_4. \\ \end{aligned} \end{equation}\]

This domain $\Omega$ with boundary $\partial\Omega=\Gamma_1\cup\Gamma_2\cup\Gamma_3\cup\Gamma_4$ is shown below.

Let us start by defining the mesh.

G = (0.0, 0.0),
(0.06, 0.0),

(0.03, 0.06),
(0.0, 0.06)
bn1 = [G, A, B]
bn2 = [B, C]
bn3 = [C, D, E, F]
bn4 = [F, G]
bn = [bn1, bn2, bn3, bn4]
boundary_nodes, points = convert_boundary_points_to_indices(bn)
tri = triangulate(points; boundary_nodes)
refine!(tri; max_area = 1e-4get_area(tri))
triplot(tri)

mesh = FVMGeometry(tri)

FVMGeometry with 8171 control volumes, 16007 triangles, and 24177 edges

For the boundary conditions, the parameters that we use are $k = 3$, $h = 20$, and $T_{\infty} = 20$ for thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, and ambient temperature, respectively.

k = 3.0
h = 20.0
T∞ = 20.0
bc1 = (x, y, t, T, p) -> zero(T) # ∇T⋅n=0
bc2 = (x, y, t, T, p) -> oftype(T, 40.0) # T=40
bc3 = (x, y, t, T, p) -> -p.h * (p.T∞ - T) / p.k # k∇T⋅n=h(T∞-T). The minus is since q = -∇T
bc4 = (x, y, t, T, p) -> oftype(T, 70.0) # T=70
parameters = (nothing, nothing, (h = h, T∞ = T∞, k = k), nothing)
BCs = BoundaryConditions(mesh, (bc1, bc2, bc3, bc4),
    (Neumann, Dirichlet, Neumann, Dirichlet);
    parameters)

BoundaryConditions with 4 boundary conditions with types (Neumann, Dirichlet, Neumann, Dirichlet)

Now we can define the actual problem. For the initial condition, which recall is used as an initial guess for steady state problems, let us use an initial condition which ranges from $T=70$ at $y=0.06$ down to $T=40$ at $y=0$.

diffusion_function = (x, y, t, T, p) -> one(T)
f = (x, y) -> 500y + 40
initial_condition = [f(x, y) for (x, y) in DelaunayTriangulation.each_point(tri)]
final_time = Inf
prob = FVMProblem(mesh, BCs;
    diffusion_function,
    initial_condition,
    final_time)

FVMProblem with 8171 nodes and time span (0.0, Inf)

steady_prob = SteadyFVMProblem(prob)

SteadyFVMProblem with 8171 nodes

Now we can solve.

using OrdinaryDiffEq, SteadyStateDiffEq
sol = solve(steady_prob, DynamicSS(Rosenbrock23()))
