What it models, and when not to use it#

free_space#

No wall: a medium that fills no region, unbounded, so a solver adds nothing to its free-space kernel. It is the trivial analytic wall kind, and the one a body far from every wall is read in.

When not to use it. For a medium that fills a region (a tube’s lumen): a wall left out changes the flow, so the experiment is refused with it, naming the wall kinds that match the region.

Versions. The first, landed with the wall-kind interface; the free-space regularised-Stokeslet method it replaced took the same setting.

Settings#

none: the entry takes no setting, so its setting_roles declares none.

Nodes it builds#

Builds no node of its own.

Gradient status#

The derivative through this entry is exact, the derivative of what it computes.

Validity#

Declared validity lines: free text, not parsed, and not yet checked against the operating point or the region each one describes.

  • an unbounded medium: no wall within the reach of the body’s flow
