Hi, everyone

I am working on a problem of PDE. The unexpectant minus results is got finally. Then I think it will get better if I add a boudary condition of u>=0. How to add the boudary condition?

thanks!

youf.

Hi

have you tried a bolean value a u*(u>0) id if(u>0,u,0) (if you are dividing by the "if()" you can replace "0" by "eps" to try to avoid NaN's. This might work, and is probably better than an "abs()"

But you make your system nonlinear, and you might have convergence issues

Good luck
