Description:The name of the variable that this object applies to
WallDistanceAux
WallDistanceAux is an auxiliary finite volume (FV) kernel that computes the distance from each quadrature point to the nearest solid wall boundary. The resulting distance field can be used by near-wall turbulence models, wall functions, or any model that requires a wall-normal length scale (e.g., for computing or two-layer blending functions).
More precisely, for each quadrature point located at position inside an element, WallDistanceAux computes
where is the union of all boundary faces designated as solid walls, and is taken as the centroid of a boundary face in the mesh.
The computed value is stored in the auxiliary variable associated with this kernel.
Usage
Wall boundaries
The set of boundaries that represent solid walls is specified with the walls parameter: these are the boundaries to which distances are computed.
Internally, MOOSE converts the boundary names in walls to boundary IDs and loops over all active elements on those boundaries. For each such boundary face, the centroid position is used as in the distance calculation.
If any of the supplied boundary names is invalid (i.e., not present in the mesh), an error is raised.
Mesh and discretization requirements
WallDistanceAux has a few important limitations:
Replicated meshes only: the object explicitly checks that the mesh is replicated and will error out if run on a distributed mesh.
Finite volume variables: the auxiliary variable associated with this kernel must be a finite volume variable (MooseVariableFVReal). If a non-FV variable is supplied, the kernel emits a parameter error indicating that it is currently programmed to use FV machinery only.
Standard MOOSE block and boundary restrictions can be used, as with any other AuxKernel, to limit where the distance field is computed.
Input Parameters
- blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
- check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No

Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh
- execute_onLINEAR TIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
Default:LINEAR TIMESTEP_END
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Options:NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, LINEAR_CONVERGENCE, NONLINEAR, NONLINEAR_CONVERGENCE, POSTCHECK, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_END, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_CONVERGENCE, FINAL, CUSTOM, PRE_DISPLACE
Controllable:No
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
- wallsBoundaries that correspond to solid walls.
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:Boundaries that correspond to solid walls.
Optional Parameters
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>
Controllable:No
Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
- enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:Yes
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
- search_methodnearest_node_connected_sidesChoice of search algorithm. All options begin by finding the nearest node in the primary boundary to a query point in the secondary boundary. In the default nearest_node_connected_sides algorithm, primary boundary elements are searched iff that nearest node is one of their nodes. This is fast to determine via a pregenerated node-to-elem map and is robust on conforming meshes. In the optional all_proximate_sides algorithm, primary boundary elements are searched iff they touch that nearest node, even if they are not topologically connected to it. This is more CPU-intensive but is necessary for robustness on any boundary surfaces which has disconnections (such as Flex IGA meshes) or non-conformity (such as hanging nodes in adaptively h-refined meshes).
