I am interersted in extending the functions vector_tools::project_boundary_values() and vector_tools::compute_nonzero_normal_flux() or writing something similar to extend functionality to fe_dgq and fe_dgp finite elements. I am writing here to ask for advice about this.

My understanding is that this currently is not possible because those fe's don't have unit support points. Is this correct? I have hacked together a solution to get around this, but I want to clean up my code and do it idiomatically now.

I see no reason why project_boundary_values() shouldn't already work. It shouldn't need nodal elements. Writing a small test for it is probably the way to go to figure out whether it already works -- making the test into one for the testsuite would of course be even better!

As for compute_nonzero_normal_flux() -- that is more complicated. How do you intend to make that work for non-nodal elements?

Best
 W.
