Hello Roozbeh,
While my background is not solving thermal PDEs, I can provide some ideas.
I also need some clarifications.
- Are the three scalar fields (temperature, humidity, and chemical
content) coupled or decoupled? Implementing a solver in Chrono with all
three fields coupled is a lot more complicated, and I suggest starting with
a small problem with 2 fields coupled.
- When you mention that you have "generalized the 1D routine for the
diffusion of 3 scalar fields", does it mean,
- you customized your own node class based on the ChNodeFEAxyzP.h to
handle 3 scalar fields? That's doable, but you have to properly
initialize,
populate and assemble all the fields.
- Or you created three separate meshes, each for one field variable?
This should work for a decoupled case; make sure you adjust the thermal
conductivity and specific heat values to match the governing equations
for
humidity and chemical content. You can still use the same API call, since
under the hood, the same type of equations is solved.
- Regarding the the error you saw from Eigen, this usually happens when
some matrix/vector access is out of bounds. Maybe the indices are
incorrect, or the fields are not initialized properly. I suggest that you
step through the code with a debugger, check the dimensions, and also
verify the matrix/vector size after initialization.
Hope my suggestions help.
Thank you,
Luning
