Well, my question is rather from applied maths area, not pure mathematics, so I am not sure that it's a place on this board for one.
I want to solve a direct gravity gradiometry problem on 3D triangular mesh in the $[-1,1]^3$ cube.
Let the area $z>0$ be overground, $z<0$ --- underground. Now push a solid object into the ground and see, how changed the gravity field above the ground.
According to the divergence theorem, we have the field equation: $\nabla \bar{G} = \rho,$ where $\rho$ is the density of mass.
Next, we can build mesh. I used gmsh, my .geo file:
Point(1) = {-1, -1, 0, 1.0};
Point(2) = {-1, 1, 0, 1.0};
Line(1) = {2, 1};
Extrude {2, 0, 0} {
Line{1};
}
Extrude {0, 0, 1} {
Surface{5};
}
Extrude {0, 0, -1} {
Surface{5};
}
Point(25) = {-0.2, -0.2, -0.4, 1.0};
Point(26) = {-0.2, 0.2, -0.4, 1.0};
Line(50) = {25, 26};
Extrude {0.4, 0, 0} {
Line{50};
}
Extrude {0, 0, -0.4} {
Surface{54};
}
Physical Volume(84) = {1}; // overground
Physical Volume(85) = {2}; // underground
Physical Volume(86) = {3}; // brick
So, after building mesh and choosing the test functions class, we can build a weak formulation of problem:
$$\int_\Omega \nabla \bar{G} \cdot \bar{v} = \int_\Omega \rho \cdot \bar{v}$$
Now we can run a fem solver. I used sfepy, my .py file:
import numpy as nm
filename_mesh = 'my.mesh'
regions = {
'Omega' : ('all', {}),
'Overground' : ('nodes of group 1', {}),
'Underground' : ('nodes of group 2', {}),
'Brick' : ('nodes of group 3', {}),
}
field_1 = {
'name' : 'gravity',
'dtype' : nm.float64,
'shape' : (3,),
'region' : 'Omega',
'approx_order' : 1,
}
variables = {
'G' : ('unknown field', 'gravity', 0 ),
'g' : ('test field', 'gravity', 'G'),
}
ebcs = {
}
materials = {
'm' : ({'rho': {
'Overground': 1.0e-7,
'Underground': 1.0e+0,
'Brick': 1.0e+5
}},
),
'n' : ({'G' : 1.0 }, )
}
equations = {
'Gravity' : """dw_div_grad.1.Omega( g, G ) = dw_div.1.Omega( m.rho, g )"""
}
solvers = {
'ls' : ('ls.scipy_direct', {}),
'newton' : ('nls.newton', {
'i_max' : 1,
'eps_a' : 1e-10,
}),
}
The problem is that the results a little bit unadequate. I expected the field, uniformly directed to the brick, but got that:

What I have to do to correct the model?
Thanks in advance.
