discretize.utils.inverse_property_tensor(mesh, tensor, return_matrix=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Construct the inverse of the physical property tensor.

For a given mesh, the input parameter tensor is a numpy.ndarray defining the constitutive relationship (e.g. Ohm’s law) between two discrete vector quantities \(\boldsymbol{j}\) and \(\boldsymbol{e}\) living at cell centers. Where \(\boldsymbol{M}\) is the physical property tensor, inverse_property_tensor explicitly constructs the inverse of the physical property tensor \(\boldsymbol{M^{-1}}\) for all cells such that:

>>> e = Mi @ j

where the Cartesian components of the discrete vectors are organized according to:

>>> j = np.r_[jx, jy, jz]
>>> e = np.r_[ex, ey, ez]
Parameters:
meshdiscretize.base.BaseMesh

A mesh

tensornumpy.ndarray or float
  • Scalar: A float is entered.

  • Isotropic: A 1D numpy.ndarray with a property value for every cell.

  • Anisotropic: A (nCell, dim) numpy.ndarray where each row defines the diagonal-anisotropic property parameters for each cell. nParam = 2 for 2D meshes and nParam = 3 for 3D meshes.

  • Tensor: A (nCell, nParam) numpy.ndarray where each row defines the full anisotropic property parameters for each cell. nParam = 3 for 2D meshes and nParam = 6 for 3D meshes.

return_matrixbool, optional
  • True: the function returns the inverse of the property tensor.

  • False: the function returns the non-zero elements of the inverse of the property tensor in a numpy.ndarray in the same order as the input argument tensor.

Returns:
numpy.ndarray or scipy.sparse.coo_matrix
  • If return_matrix = False, the function outputs the parameters defining the inverse of the property tensor in a numpy.ndarray with the same dimensions as the input argument tensor

  • If return_natrix = True, the function outputs the inverse of the property tensor as a scipy.sparse.coo_matrix.

Notes

The relationship between a quantity and its response to external stimuli (e.g. Ohm’s law) in each cell can be defined by a scalar function \(\sigma\) in the isotropic case, or by a tensor \(\Sigma\) in the anisotropic case, i.e.:

\[\vec{j} = \sigma \vec{e} \;\;\;\;\;\; \textrm{or} \;\;\;\;\;\; \vec{j} = \Sigma \vec{e}\]

where

\[\begin{split}\Sigma = \begin{bmatrix} \sigma_{xx} & \sigma_{xy} & \sigma_{xz} \\ \sigma_{xy} & \sigma_{yy} & \sigma_{yz} \\ \sigma_{xz} & \sigma_{yz} & \sigma_{zz} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

Examples

For the 4 classifications allowable (scalar, isotropic, anistropic and tensor), we construct the property tensor on a small 2D mesh. We then construct the inverse of the property tensor and compare.

Define a 2D tensor mesh

>>> h = [1., 1., 1.]
>>> mesh = TensorMesh([h, h], origin='00')

Define a physical property for all cases (2D)

>>> sigma_scalar = 4.
>>> sigma_isotropic = np.random.randint(1, 10, mesh.nC)
>>> sigma_anisotropic = np.random.randint(1, 10, (mesh.nC, 2))
>>> sigma_tensor = np.random.randint(1, 10, (mesh.nC, 3))

Construct the property tensor in each case

>>> M_scalar = make_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_scalar)
>>> M_isotropic = make_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_isotropic)
>>> M_anisotropic = make_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_anisotropic)
>>> M_tensor = make_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_tensor)

Construct the inverse property tensor in each case

>>> Minv_scalar = inverse_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_scalar, return_matrix=True)
>>> Minv_isotropic = inverse_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_isotropic, return_matrix=True)
>>> Minv_anisotropic = inverse_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_anisotropic, return_matrix=True)
>>> Minv_tensor = inverse_property_tensor(mesh, sigma_tensor, return_matrix=True)

Plot the property tensors.

>>> M_list = [M_scalar, M_isotropic, M_anisotropic, M_tensor]
>>> Minv_list = [Minv_scalar, Minv_isotropic, Minv_anisotropic, Minv_tensor]
>>> case_list = ['Scalar', 'Isotropic', 'Anisotropic', 'Full Tensor']
>>> fig1 = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 4))
>>> ax1 = 4*[None]
>>> for ii in range(0, 4):
...     ax1[ii] = fig1.add_axes([0.05+0.22*ii, 0.05, 0.18, 0.9])
...     ax1[ii].imshow(
...         M_list[ii].todense(), interpolation='none', cmap='binary', vmax=10.
...     )
...     ax1[ii].set_title('$M$ (' + case_list[ii] + ')', fontsize=24)
>>> cax1 = fig1.add_axes([0.92, 0.15, 0.01, 0.7])
>>> norm1 = mpl.colors.Normalize(vmin=0., vmax=10.)
>>> cbar1 = mpl.colorbar.ColorbarBase(
...     cax1, norm=norm1, orientation="vertical", cmap=mpl.cm.binary
