%INTEGRATION_FS_DIRECT_TIME%
surface and time integration of a scalar value along the free surface
The material flag $MaterialTag$ defines the integration area (analogous to the
POSTPROCESS-flags for
%INTEGRATION_BND_DIRECT_TIME%).
This computes the integral of a functional \( f\) (
ExpressionOfIntegrand) with respect to the free surface \( \partial\Omega_\text{FS}\) identified by the material flag
\begin{align} I_\text{FSDirectTime} = \int\limits_{t_0}^{t_{n+1}} \int\limits_{\partial\Omega_\text{FS}} f(t) dA dt\end{align}
by a preliminary approximation
\begin{align} I_\text{FSDirect} \approx \sum_{i \in P_\text{FS}} f_i \left( t_{n+1} \right) \cdot A_i\left( t_{n+1} \right)\end{align}
and a subsequent time integration:
\begin{align} I_\text{FSDirectTime} \left( t_{n+1} \right) = I_{\text{FSDirectTime}}\left( t_{n} \right) + \left(t_{n+1}-t_{n} \right) \cdot I_\text{FSDirect}\end{align}
\( P_\text{FS}\) is the set of all free surface points with the given material flag and \( A_i\) is the area of the i-th point.
Note: Analogous to
%INTEGRATION_INT_TIME%, a list of material flags can be used to specify the integration area. The number of flags is not limited.
Example:
Note: In case of multiphase simulations with detection of interface connections (see PHASE_distinction), the interface points are treated like free surface points.
