BiharmonicFriction

class fridom.nonhydro.modules.closures.diffusion.BiharmonicFriction(ah: float | FieldVariable, av: float | FieldVariable)

Bases: BiharmonicDiffusion

Biharmonic friction module

Description

Applies the harmonic diffusion operator \(\mathcal{B}\) (see fridom.framework.modules.closures.BiharmonicDiffusion) to all fields with the flag “ENABLE_FRICTION” (typically the velocity field).

Parameters

ahfloat | fr.FieldVariable

Horizontal friction coefficient.

avfloat | fr.FieldVariable

Vertical friction coefficient.

__init__(ah: float | FieldVariable, av: float | FieldVariable)

Methods

__init__(ah, av)
diffuse(z, dz)
diffusion_operator(u)	Applies the biharmonic diffusion operator on a scalar field \(u\).
disable()	Enabling the module means that it will be executed at each time step.
enable()	Enabling the module means that it will be executed at each time step.
is_enabled()	Return whether the module is enabled or not.
reset()	Stop and start the module.
setup(mset)	Start the module
start()	Start the module
stop()	Stop the module
update(mz)	Update the module

Attributes
