PoissonPDEComponent

PoissonPDEComponent[vars,pars]

yields a Poisson PDE term with model variables vars and model parameters pars.

Details

  • PoissonPDEComponent returns a sum of differential operators to be used as a part of partial differential equations:
  • PoissonPDEComponent can be used to model Poisson equations with dependent variable , independent variables and time variable .
  • Stationary model variables vars are vars={u[x1,…,xn],{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Time-dependent model variables vars are vars={u[t,x1,…,xn],t,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • The PoissonPDEComponent is based on a diffusion and source term:
  • The Poisson PDE term is realized as a DiffusionPDETerm with –1 as a diffusion coefficient and a SourcePDETerm with coefficient resulting in .
  • The following model parameters pars can be given:
  • parameterdefaultsymbol
    "PoissonSourceTerm"1
    "RegionSymmetry"None
  • The source term coefficient is a scalar.
  • The source term coefficient can depend on time, space, parameters and the dependent variables.
  • A possible choice for the parameter "RegionSymmetry" is "Axisymmetric".
  • "Axisymmetric" region symmetry represents a truncated cylindrical coordinate system where the cylindrical coordinates are reduced by removing the angle variable as follows:
  • dimensionreductionequation
    1D
    2D
  • The diffusion coefficient 1 affects the meaning of NeumannValue.
  • If the PoissonPDEComponent depends on parameters that are specified in the association pars as …,keypi…,pivi,…, the parameters are replaced with .
