Infinite elements in general PDE mode

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

I implemented multiphase flow via the general PDE mode and I couple it to electric potential (conductive media) measurements. It is no problem to active or build infinite elements in the AC/DC module, but is it possible in the PDE mode?

Thank you and best regards...

Johanna

Hi,

maybe it's possible. But if, I guess it wouldn't be easy. Maybe you can define a new type of element. For the math behind this topic I refer to this paper:

Zienkiewicz, OC ; Emson, C. ; Bettess, P.: A novel boundary infinite element.
In: International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering (1983)


kind regards
