Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the weak constraint on the integral of the pressure in the tutorial Two-phase modeling of a dense suspension.
Mainly, a total force is defined via Fp_tot = intop1(p) where p is the pressure and then a weak constraint (at a point) is added via test(Fp_tot); this constraint ensuring that the integral of the pressure is equal to zero.
Does anyone know why this procedure is adopted? I thought it might be because no pressure is defined as a boundary condition, but I'm unsure about this particular procedure with the addition of a weak constraint.
Thanks in advance,
Best, J
