Enhancements in NodeField #305

Following enhancements are planned

Blas functions

• AXPY
• SCAL
• COPY
• SWAP
• XPAY
• AXPYZ
• PMUL
• PDIV
• SETALL
• ABS
• RECIPROCAL
• SHIFT
• DOT_PRODUCT
• NORM1
• NORM2
• NORMi
• SUM

Dirichlet boundary condition

• ApplyDBC(dbc, times)

• ApplyDBC by using external field data (when dbc%isExternal is true)

• In this method, we should not allocate the array every time we apply the boundary condition.

Set value

SetByFunction

• Set by user function (Partially)
• Set by reading a file (Partially)
• Set by HDF5 (Partially)

INTERFACE
  MODULE SUBROUTINE obj_SetByFunction(obj, func, times, ivar, idof,  &
    & spaceCompo, timeCompo)
    CLASS(AbstractNodeField_), INTENT(INOUT) :: obj
    CLASS(UserFunction_), INTENT(INOUT) :: func
    REAL(DFP), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: times(:)
    INTEGER(I4B), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: ivar
    INTEGER(I4B), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: idof
    INTEGER(I4B), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: spaceCompo
    INTEGER(I4B), OPTIONAL, INTENT(IN) :: timeCompo
  END SUBROUTINE obj_SetByFunction
END INTERFACE

Currently, in this function we are not using the ivar, idof, spaceCompo, timeCompo.

The following enhancements are planed.

ScalarField

Do Nothing

STScalarField

• use timeCompo to set the value of a specific time component.
• In this case, if times present then it size should 1, which represents the times for the time component.

VectorField

• use spaceCompo to set the value of a specific space component.
• In this case, the return type of function should be a scalar
• If times present then its size should be 1, which represents the times at which the value is set.

STVectorField

• use spaceCompo and/or timeCompo to set the value of a specific space and/or time component.
