Detailed Description

Method to solve a pseudo steady state surface problem.

The following class handles solving the surface problem. The calculation uses Newton's method to obtain the surface fractions of the surface and bulk species by requiring that the surface species production rate = 0 and that the either the bulk fractions are proportional to their production rates or they are constants.

Currently, the bulk mole fractions are treated as constants. Implementation of their being added to the unknown solution vector is delayed.

Lets introduce the unknown vector for the "surface problem". The surface problem is defined as the evaluation of the surface site fractions for multiple surface phases. The unknown vector will consist of the vector of surface concentrations for each species in each surface vector. Species are grouped first by their surface phases

  • C_i_j = Concentration of the ith species in the jth surface phase
  • Nj = number of surface species in the jth surface phase

The unknown solution vector is defined as follows:

C_i_j kindexSP
C_0_0 0
C_1_0 1
C_2_0 2
. . . ...
C_N0-1_0 N0-1
C_0_1 N0
C_1_1 N0+1
C_2_1 N0+2
. . . ...
C_N1-1_1 NO+N1-1

Note there are a couple of different types of species indices floating around in the formulation of this object.

kindexSP: This is the species index in the contiguous vector of unknowns for the surface problem.

Note, in the future, BULK_DEPOSITION systems will be added, and the solveSP unknown vector will get more complicated. It will include the mole fraction and growth rates of specified bulk phases

Indices which relate to individual kinetics objects use the suffix KSI (kinetics species index).

Solution Method

This routine is typically used within a residual calculation in a large code. It's typically invoked millions of times for large calculations, and it must work every time. Therefore, requirements demand that it be robust but also efficient.

The solution methodology is largely determined by the ifunc parameter, that is input to the solution object. This parameter may have one of the values defined in Surface Problem Solver Methods.

Pseudo time stepping algorithm:

The time step is determined from sdot[], so that the time step doesn't ever change the value of a variable by more than 100%.

This algorithm does use a damped Newton's method to relax the equations. Damping is based on a "delta damping" technique. The solution unknowns are not allowed to vary too much between iterations.

EXTRA_ACCURACY: A constant that is the ratio of the required update norm in this Newton iteration compared to that in the nonlinear solver. A value of 0.1 is used so surface species are safely overconverged.

Functions called:

  • ct_dgetrf – First half of LAPACK direct solve of a full Matrix
  • ct_dgetrs – Second half of LAPACK direct solve of a full matrix. Returns solution vector in the right-hand-side vector, resid.
