Hi Wolfgang and Jean-Paul,
It seems that one of Wolfgang’s replies to me was not shared through the user group, so I forward it here. My response is listed below it. *On 12/2/16, 6:18 PM, "Wolfgang Bangerth" wrote:* Oded, *I know that the typical treatment of the interface matching conditions is* *along the lines that you noted. However, it is not clear to me how to follow* *these guidelines in the particular case that I am working on, which is* *described in the file that I attached to my previous email. In particular, in* *my case,* *a) The matching conditions involve gradients of velocity and pressure, and* *not just the velocity and pressure fields.* If it doesn't fit into the weak form, and if it isn't easily described as constraints on degrees of freedom (as we do for Dirichlet values) then I don't know either. What do others who have published on these models do? *b) The matching conditions involve time-dependent fields, so probably the* *explicit form of the constraints has to be updated each time step.* *In order to address point a), I thought that maybe I should define additional* *degrees of freedom that correspond to the components of each one of the* *gradient terms that appear in my matching conditions (e.g. for the pressure* *gradient add DOFs P_i_x, P_i_y and P_i_z). I would then define the constraints* *with respect to those new DOFs, and would also have to assemble the* *corresponding equations (e.g. P_i_x = dP_i/dx).* Correct. You need to update the ConstraintMatrix object in every time step. Best W. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Wolfgang: I am working on generalizing a model that originally described only the interior domain by the equations that I wrote on my Friday’s notes. I am not familiar with anyone who solved the combined set of equations for the interior and exterior domains. However, a simpler problem should be common in other situations where the droplet is made of a single phase. In these cases, a matching condition in the form of Eq. 10 in my notes should be satisfied (with \Psi=0). In recent days I have surveyed the literature to learn how people deal with these situations, but still haven’t found an answer. Jean-Paul: I don’t understand exactly what you have suggested. Could you please elaborate more on how would you impose a matching condition such as Eq. 10 in a weak sense?
