DirichletBC

Imposes the essential boundary condition $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-fbc6011d-513c-4b61-a39d-28310e6d9d98");katex.render("u=g", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-43926e98-fc6b-4695-8229-49ea015011c9");katex.render("g", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is a constant, controllable value.

Description

DirichletBC is the simplest type of NodalBC, and is used for imposing so-called "essential" boundary conditions on systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). Such boundary conditions force a particular set of degrees of freedom (DOFs) defined by the boundary parameter to take on a single, controllable value. This class is appropriate to use for PDEs of the form

$(1)var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-7a6ee390-17cc-4142-ad0c-46fdd1ff5720");katex.render("\\begin{aligned} -\\nabla^2 u &= f && \\quad \\in \\Omega \\\\ u &= g && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_D \\\\ \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial n} &= h && \\quad \\in \\partial \\Omega_N, \\end{aligned}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-dfe7ffea-4a27-435f-8558-cc365a8d87ff");katex.render("\\Omega \\subset \\mathbb{R}^n", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the domain, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-719d2805-b3ab-4e51-a59b-636e80a13a1d");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega = \\partial \\Omega_D \\cup \\partial \\Omega_N", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is its boundary. In this case, a DirichletBC object is used to impose the condition (2) on the subset of the boundary denoted by $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-a69c1fd2-5fba-4b3f-a3b1-34c3a29acf07");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega_D", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ . In this case, the value corresponds to the constant $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-a8f81729-288f-4192-ba46-fa56af6e5dea");katex.render("g", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , and the user must define one or more sidesets corresponding to the boundary subset $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ef24a3bf-0240-45ed-a5a3-e3b01c31f2f1");katex.render("\\partial \\Omega_D", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ .
