MFEMDivAux

Summary

Calculates the divergence of an H(div) conforming RT source variable and stores the result on an L2 conforming result auxvariable

Overview

AuxKernel for calculating the divegence of an conforming source variable defined on a 3D Raviart-Thomas finite element space and storing it in a scalar elemental result variable defined on an FE space.

The result may be scaled by an optional (global) scalar factor.

where , and is a scalar constant.
