Fabric Evolution - DG Fabric Solver

General Informations

  • Solver Fortran File: FabricSolve.f90
  • Solver Name: FabricSolver
  • Required Output Variable(s): Fabric
  • Required Input Variable(s): Temperature, AIFlow,
  • Optional Output Variable(s): EigenV
  • Optional Input Variable(s): Mesh Velocity

General Description

This solver solves the fabric evolution equations for the anisotropic law obtained from the AIFlow solver. In Elmer/Ice, the fabric is described using the 5 independent components of the second-order orientation tensor. The grain rotation is induced by the macroscopic strain-rate and the deviatoric stress, and their relative influence is controlled by the interaction parameter (from 0 for purely strain-induced rotation to 1 for purely stress induced rotation). To account for other phenomena than grain rotation, one can use the diffusion parameter.

The eigenvalues of the second-order orientation tensor Fabric are computed if the variable EigenV exists.
