/** # Solution of the potential flow though an orifice ## the problem solution of the "Basic problem" in 2D, potential incompressible flow $$u =\frac{\partial p}{\partial x}, \;\; v = \frac{\partial p}{\partial y},\;\;\; \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0$$ to be solved in the upper half space $y>0$ filled with a porous media so that velocity is 0 at infinity (but pressure is not zero to have a flow). At the bottom, there is a slit ($-11$, $y=0$), so normal velocity is $\frac{\partial p}{\partial y}=0$ Solution is proposed in Sneddon and in Lamb. It is $x=cosh(p) cos(\psi)$ and $y=sinh(p) sin (\psi)$ iso lines of pressure are the ellipses $$ \frac{x^2}{cosh^2 p} + \frac{y^2}{sinh^2 p } =1 $$ ## Code */ #include "run.h" #include "poisson.h" #define MAXLEVEL 8 scalar p[], source[]; face vector beta[]; mgstats mgp; /** far away, $cosh(p)= sinh(p)= e^p/2$, hence iso pressure are $p \simeq log(2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2})$ Of course, this corresponds to the expected solution of a source far enough. as $arcsinh(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}) \simeq log(2 \sqrt{x^2+y^2})$ we write the approximate BC on the top right and left (and "mix" for fun).
