pymor.analyticalproblems.thermalblock.thermal_block_problem(num_blocks=(3, 3), parameter_range=(0.1, 1))

Analytical description of a 2D ‘thermal block’ diffusion problem.

The problem is to solve the elliptic equation

- ∇ ⋅ [ d(x, μ) ∇ u(x, μ) ] = 1

on the domain [0,1]^2 with Dirichlet zero boundary values. The domain is partitioned into nx x ny blocks and the diffusion function d(x, μ) is constant on each such block i with value μ_i.
