Add temperature field variable to vertical component of force vector NS

Asked by Joakim Bø

Hi!

I'm currently constructing a Chorin/IPCS Navier Stokes solver using Fenics. The temperature/energy equation is also incorporated.

So, my question is, I'm going to use the Boussinesq bouyancy approximation for incompressible fluids, but how do I apply this to my force vector?

The temperature field T1 in the last time step is known, and I want to add it to my force vector so it becomes f = 0i + T0[i,j]j in the spatial point i, j for the next time step. Any tips on the easiest way of doing this?

This is just for testing purposes, the full model is going to be implemented at a later stage.

Thanks!
