Detailed Description

Class to enforce ghost-cell based boundary conditions.

This class holds a domain's worth of boxghostbcs, at least one for each face. The user adds BoxGhostBC-derived objects for each face to enforce boundary conditions. If the solution is phi and the face normal direction is x, the boundary conditions at a face may often be expressed as A*phi + B*dphi/dx = C. The class derived from BoxGhostBC provides a function to to fill A B and C. DomainGhostBC calls this function and fills the ghost cells outside the domain appropriately. Because BoxGhostBC operates on a component Interval, more than one BoxGhostBC per side is supported, to support the case where different components have different boundary conditions.

void DomainGhostBC::setBoxGhostBC const BoxGhostBC a_ghostBC  ) 
 

Set boundary conditions at a face to those defined in a_ghostBC.

Adds a_ghostBC to whatever BCs are already defined for the gviven side and face.
