Hi Rafael,
this is not implemented in any convenient way. Probably because it’s not clear
how to _visualise_ normal face fluxes in a useful way.
Vtk doesn’t support face quantities.
You can write out the skeleton (only the faces of the grid) if you need
something for debugging or postprocessing.
There is a class “ConformingIntersectionWriter” in
dumux/io/vtk/intersectionwriter.hh. You can add a face field with “addField”.
It expect a vector with number of entries equal to the number of faces.
The indexing is gridView.indexSet().subIndex(element, localFacetIndex,
/*codim=*/1) or gridView.indexSet().index(facet) where facet is a Dune codim<1>
entity. The local localFacetIndex can be obtained from
intersection.indexInInside().
Unfortunately there is no direct mapping from sub-control-volume-faces to
intersections. Because you would compute normal flux in Dumux over
sub-control-volume-faces you would have to find the intersection.
In your case you could e.g. check the normal vector:
const auto localFacetIndex = [&]{
for (const auto& is : intersections(gridGeometry->gridView(), element))
if (is.centerUnitOuterNormal()*scvf.unitOuterNormal() > 0.9)
return is.indexInInside();
}();
const auto globalFacetIndex =
gridGeometry->gridView().indexSet().subIndex(element, localFacetIndex,
/*codim=*/1);
normalFluxes[globalFacetIndex] = flux;
assuming you have computef the normal face flux (flux) for this scvf.
For writing out:
std::vector normalFluxes(gridGeometry->gridView().size(1));
// fill the vector here
ConformingIntersectionWriter faceVtk(gridGeometry->gridView());
faceVtk.addField(normalFluxes, “normal flux");
faceVtk.write("output", Dune::VTK::ascii);
Best wishes
