Analytic solution is incorrect

Open tkarna opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

The analytic solution defined in fem/analytic_soln.hpp corresponds to a case where the internal heat source term Q is zero. In the miniapp code, however, the source term is set to 1 (Hex8::sourceVector: Scalar Q = 1.0;). Consequently, model error does not decrease as resolution is increased (e.g., absolute error at (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) is always between 0.05 and 0.06).
