GfsDiffusion

From Gerris

GfsDiffusion defines a diffusion or viscosity coefficient as well as optional parameters for the diffusion solver.

The syntax in parameter files is:

[ GfsFunction ] {
  tolerance = 1e-6
  nrelax = 4
  erelax = 1
  minlevel = 0
  nitermax = 100
  nitermin = 1
  beta = 0.5
}

where the GfsFunction is the value of the diffusion coefficient and the parameter block is optional. The parameters are:

tolerance

the maximum residual allowed for the iterative solution of the diffusion equation.

nrelax

the number of relaxations per level.

erelax

the factor by which to multiply the number of relaxations when decreasing the level by one.

minlevel

the minimum level to consider.

nitermax

the maximum number of iterations.

nitermin

the minimum number of iterations.

beta

the "implicitness" parameter. 1/2 for Crank-Nicholson and 1 for backward Euler.

The default parameters are those given in the syntax description.
