multiphysics #154

Open asartori86 opened 8 years ago

asartori86 commented 8 years ago

Before start to think about the design we should have for handling different physics with different interfaces (an maybe different meshes) I would like to have clear what are the ingredients we need for handling such situations.

Let's have two comments with the list for the two different cases

luca-heltai commented 8 years ago

[ ] different meshes (prototype: IFEM)
[ ] different physics on the same mesh (prototype: step-32)
[ ] different types (BEM-FEM)

asartori86 commented 8 years ago

let's start with the easiest one: different physics on the same mesh (prototype: step-32)

[ ] dof_handler?
[ ] solution_vector?

luca-heltai commented 8 years ago

Case of different meshes:

[ ] two-way access (it maybe enough to have friendship)
[ ] a mechanism to construct coupling (this is also valid for the other case)

luca-heltai commented 8 years ago

I think the two are not too different. You still have two DH, two sets of explicit and implict vectors, etc. I think if we have two full pidomus interfaces, we should be good to go. Actually we could rename pi-DoMUS to SinglePhysicsProblem, and then construct the new pi-DoMUS as a collection of SinglePhysicsProblems.

Let's discuss with Wolfgang about this...
