TSSetForcingFunction

Provide a function that computes a forcing term for a ODE or PDE

Synopsis

#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode  TSSetForcingFunction(TS ts,TSForcingFunction f,void *ctx)
Logically Collective on TS Many br

Input Parameters

ts - the TS context obtained from TSCreate() Many br
f - routine for evaluating the forcing function Many br
ctx - [optional] user-defined context for private data for the Many brfunction evaluation routine (may be NULL) Many br

Calling sequence of func

    func (TS ts,PetscReal t,Vec u,void *ctx);

t - current timestep Many br
u - output vector Many br
ctx - [optional] user-defined function context Many br

Notes

This routine is useful for testing accuracy of time integration schemes when using the Method of Manufactured Solutions to Many brcreate closed-form solutions with a non-physical forcing term. Many br

For low-dimensional problems solved in serial, such as small discrete systems, TSMonitorLGError() can be used to monitor the error history. Many br
