DMInterpolateSolution#
Interpolates a solution from a coarse mesh to a fine mesh.

PetscErrorCode DMInterpolateSolution(DM coarse, DM fine, Mat interp, Vec coarseSol, Vec fineSol)
Collective
Input Parameters#
coarse - coarse
DM
fine - fine
DM
interp - (optional) the matrix computed by
DMCreateInterpolation()
. Implementations may not need this, but if it is available it can avoid some recomputation. If it is provided,MatInterpolate()
will be used if the coarseDM
does not have a specialized implementation.coarseSol - solution on the coarse mesh
Output Parameter#
fineSol - the interpolation of coarseSol to the fine mesh
Note#
This function exists because the interpolation of a solution vector between meshes is not always a linear map. For example, if a boundary value problem has an inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition that is compressed out of the solution vector. Or if interpolation is inherently a nonlinear operation, such as a method using slope-limiting reconstruction.
Developer Note#
This doesn’t just interpolate “solutions” so its API name is questionable.
