Exception: Unable to extract all indices when trying to solve a coupled PDE (Stokes + adv-diff eq)

Asked by Noemi Petra

Hi,

I am having difficulties solving a coupled Stokes with an adv-diff equation. In particular the problem comes in when trying to define week forms that involve both variables i.e., (u, grad(T))*s, where u is the velocity solution of the Stokes and T is the temperature solution of the adv-diff equation. I posted below a minimalistic code that shows the problem. When I run it I get "Exception: Unable to extract all indices." I am wondering if you could give a feedback or if you have an idea of what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!

This is apparent non-linearity: inner(u,grad(T))*s*dx

solve(a == L, ...) works with with a bilinear and L linear. But your
form a is not bilinear, it's quadratic in trial functions which is not
allowed.

To solve nonlinear problems: solve(F==0, ...) with F rank 1
(linear in test functions) form. Nonlinearity of F is covered by
arbitrary dependence on some function (not trial function). Check
corrections below.

Ah, thanks very much. I thought the Newton solver should work with a == L as well. Yes, your suggestion did the trick. I appreciate your fast assistance. For those who are interested in such coupling, here is the complete code for the Stokes - adv-diff coupled PDE solve:

Thanks again!
