Introduction

Minimum System Requirements

In general, the following is required for MOOSE-based development:

A POSIX compliant Unix-like operating system. This includes any modern Linux-based operating system (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, Rocky, etc.), or a Macintosh machine running either of the last two MacOS releases.

System Purpose

The MOOSE rDG module is a library for the implementation of simulation tools that solve convection-dominated problems using the class of so-called reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin (rDG) methods. The specific rDG method implemented in this module is rDG(P0P1), which is equivalent to the second-order cell-centered finite volume method (FVM). Cell-centered FVMs are regarded as a subset of rDG methods in the case when the baseline polynomial solution in each element is a constant monomial. The FVMs are the most widely used numerical methods in areas such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer, computational acoustics, and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).

System Scope

The purpose of this software is to provide capability to MOOSE-based applications to use a second-order, cell-centered finite volume method (FVM). This module provides a systematic solution for implementing all required components in a second-order FVM such as slope reconstruction, slope limiting, numerical flux, and proper boundary conditions. Additionally, this module provides an implementation of these components for the scalar advection equation.

Assumptions and Dependencies

The Reconstructed Discontinuous Galerkin module is developed using MOOSE and can itself be based on various MOOSE modules, as such the RTM for the Reconstructed Discontinuous Galerkin module is dependent upon the files listed at the beginning of this document.

Pre-test Instructions/Environment/Setup

Ideally all testing should be performed on a clean test machine following one of the supported configurations setup by the test system engineer. Testing may be performed on local workstations and cluster systems containing supported operating systems.

The repository should be clean prior to building and testing. When using "git" this can be done by doing a force clean in the main repository and each one of the submodules:


git clean -xfd
git submodule foreach 'git clean -xfd'

All tests must pass in accordance with the type of test being performed. This list can be found in the Software Test Plan.

Changelog Issue Revisions

Errors in changelog references can sometimes occur as a result of typos or conversion errors. If any need to be noted by the development team, they will be noted here.

The changelog for all code residing in the MOOSE repository is located in the MOOSE RTM.
