************************************ Level Set Subelement Integration ************************************ :: Level Set Subelement Integration = {ON | YES | OFF | NO} ----------------------- Description / Usage ----------------------- Subelement integration is used to improve integration accuracy for all functions which invoke a sharp level-set interface. Note here that the Level Set Length Scale option must be zero. This is possible because the subelement integration scheme actually produces a geometric representation of the zero level set surface on which exact line integrals of the surface tension source term term can be peformed. Please see usage nodes below. {ON | YES} Use subelement integration on surface level set capillary term. {OFF | NO} Don’t use subelement integration. ------------ Examples ------------ This example invokes the subelement integration :: Level Set Subelement Integration = ON ------------------------- Technical Discussion ------------------------- * **NOTE**: Level Set Length Scale must be set to zero. * Because of the construction of an in-element interface meshing to find this representation, subelement integration cannot be used currently for three dimensional problems. Subgrid integration can be, however, but it is inefficient. * Best to use this integration approach with the property specification method of “Second Level-Set “property_name”, e.g. Second Level Set Density, etc. * Typically this capability greatly improves mass conservation and avoids parasitics for surface tension dominated problems. * **NOTE** that the Level Set Renormalization method must be set to Huygens. -------------- References -------------- GT-020.1: Tutorial on Level Set Interface Tracking in GOMA, February 27, 2001, T.A.
