UFL Measures on Sub-domains not Evaluated

variational formulation

1

I have a mesh imported from gmsh with defined facet tags for Surfaces and Edges. Now If I want to check area and length of this sub-domains, I am getting zero value of length of subdomains. However, for area, I am able to evaluate. Also, for the complete domain, I am able to calculate the both length and area. What am I doing wrong here.

import ufl

dx = ufl.Measure("dx", domain=domain, subdomain_data=cell_markers)
ds = ufl.Measure("ds", domain=domain, subdomain_data=facet_markers)

area = fem.assemble_scalar(fem.form(1.0 * dx(1)))
print(f"Computed area = {area:.3f}")


length_1 = fem.assemble_scalar(fem.form(1.0 * ds(1)))
print(f"Computed length = {length_1:.3f}")

To calculate the «length» of a domain, you would need an interface marker of the facets of the subdomain, or you can create a submesh for each subdomain and then evaluate ds as done for the full mesh.

Note that your example is not reproducible as you haven’t provided a mesh.

If you want to make an interface marker after meshing see

I have defined the length markers in the mesh as follows.

cl__1 = 0.001;
Point(1) = {0.01, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(2) = {0.03, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(3) = {0.03, 0.08, 0, cl__1};
Point(4) = {0.01, 0.08, 0, cl__1};
Point(5) = {0.04, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(6) = {0.06, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(7) = {0.06, 0.08, 0, cl__1};
Point(8) = {0.04, 0.08, 0, cl__1};
Point(9) = {0.07000000000000001, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(10) = {0.09, 0.07000000000000001, 0, cl__1};
Point(11) = {0.09, 0.08, 0, cl__1};

Point(18) = {0.1, 0, 0, cl__1};
Point(19) = {0.15, 0.1, 0, cl__1};
Point(20) = {-0.05, 0.1, 0, cl__1};

Change this to dS then, as ds means exterior facet, ie any facet that is connected to only one cell.
