Solver ComputeDevStress

General Informations

  • Solver Fortran File: ComputeDevStressNS.f90
  • Solver Name: ComputeDevStress
  • Required Output Variable(s): default is Stress (else in Stress Variable Name)
  • Required Input Variable(s): A Flow Solution (in Flow Solution Name)
  • Optional Output Variable(s): None
  • Optional Input Variable(s): None

General Description

The aim of this solver is to compute deviatoric or Cauchy stress from flow solution. For a 2D simulation there are 4 DOFs (S11, S22, S33, S12), for a 3D simulation, 2 additional are being solved for (S11, S22, S33, S12, S23, S31). This solver uses a dummy variable and solves 4 (6 in 3D) times a 1 DOF system for each stress components.

The Cauchy stress is computed using:

sigma_{ij}  = 2 {eta}  {epsilon}_{ij} - p delta_{ij}

where epsilon is directly evaluated from the velocity field and p is the isotropic pressure.The convention is that a positive stress corresponds to a tensiile stress (opposite to the isotropic pressure convention).

This solver doesn't work for the GOLF anisotropic (AIFlow Solver) and the snow/firn (Porous Solver) rheologies. Nevertheless, these two solvers have intrinsic functions which allow to compute the stress directly.
