From 91f6a6b0c1c44370134462b9a23d3ccfa61dbccb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lmoresi Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 11:21:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/31] The history manager commits the flux and shifts its own levels The viscoelastic Stokes solve reached into its DFDt to project the new stress into level 0, fan the flat multi-component result back into the tensor, and shift the levels. That is the manager's business, and doing it through commit_flux_to_history() is what lets a solver hold a different flavour of history without knowing which. Behaviour unchanged: tests/test_1051_VE_shear_box (the analytic Maxwell shear box) and the constitutive and snapshot regressions pass.

To let the Eulerian manager stand in its place the snapshot machinery that keeps the flux projection one-shot moved from the semi-Lagrangian class onto the base, the Eulerian projection now goes through the same source builder and follows psi_fn, and projection setup is idempotent. A history committed this step must not be shifted again by the post-solve: the Eulerian post-solve shifted the levels a second time, pushing the new stress straight into level 1. Invisible at order 1 and a 150-fold error at order 2. With that fixed the two flavours agree to six digits on the analytic Maxwell shear box at both orders (1.54e-2 at order 1, 9.33e-4 at order 2, both against the exact solution), which is the check the uniform benchmarks can give: the stress does not move there, so any difference would be the plumbing.

The solver drives the viscoelastic sequence itself, once per step around its Picard passes rather than once per pass: the sequence is extracted from the Stokes solve into _stress_history_pre_solve and _stress_history_post_solve, and the momentum passes ask the Stokes solve to leave the history alone. A stress history needs order 2 here, because the theta rule weights the viscous flux at the stored velocity levels and would rebuild them blind to elasticity. The two flavours agree to 3e-5 on a sheared box with inertia. That case has no closed form (at this effective viscosity the velocity is far from steady simple shear within the run), so it is a consistency check, not an accuracy one.

For a viscous fluid the stored level is rebuilt from the stored velocity as 2 eta strain(u); for a viscoelastic one that rebuild is wrong, and the object the theta rule wants is already held by the stress history. The two histories meet there: the flux history of the time scheme IS the elastic stress history. That removes the order=2 restriction I put on a viscoelastic Navier-Stokes step, which was a consequence of the viscous rebuild and not of the physics. Order 1 is the scheme the Navier-Stokes benchmarks use and the default.

The viscoelastic path passes store_result=False so the history is not re-recorded from psi_fn, which for a viscoelastic solver is the constitutive flux and so a function of the history itself; SemiLagrangian honours it and this flavour did not. Every step it shifted its snapshots and re-recorded the flux over a field that was already the stress, applying the constitutive update a second time and discarding what commit_flux_to_history had placed. On the analytic Maxwell shear box at order 1 that overshot the relaxed stress by 12.8% where the nodal and grid flavours sit at 1.5%. Honour store_result, and commit the flux to the nodal snapshot as well as to the integration points. The two ladders have to move together: the assembler reads psi_star, but the next trace-back samples psi_snap, so a flux committed only to psi_star does not survive a step. The commit projects rather than evaluates, because the trace-back samples the snapshot between its nodes and needs the L2 fit of the flux on the history space. Maxwell shear box, sigma_xy at the origin, all three stress_transport options: order 1 0.851356 0.851356 0.851356 (exact 0.864665, 1.54%) order 2 0.863858 0.863858 0.863858 (exact 0.864665, 0.09%) identical to six digits, where the integration-point flavour read 0.975696 at order 1 before. Order 2 also exercises the snapshot ladder: a level shifted twice shows up there as a 150-fold error, as it did for the Eulerian flavour. On the varying-modulus shear box, where the stress is non-uniform and the shear genuinely carries it, the three norms are 0.873247 / 0.872329 / 0.872064, a 0.14% spread against a 0.4% self-drift when the step is halved. The test over the Maxwell box now runs all three flavours and judges each against the analytic relaxation curve; the tolerance it already carried is what catches this defect.

On any other flavour the assignment landed as a plain instance attribute and nothing read it: a driver that sets ns.DFDt.inflow_value whatever stress_transport names got the condition on one flavour and nothing on the other two, with no error and no warning. On the viscoelastic cylinder the inflow condition is the difference between a run that completes and one that dies at step 33. The property now sits on _DDtBase with the shape check. EulerianSUPG declares applies_inflow_value = True and keeps a setter override that drops its compiled transport solver. Every other flavour accepts and stores the value and warns once that it does not apply it: a trace-back or particle flavour restores an out-of-bounds departure point to the boundary and reads the transported field there, which constrains the inflow but is not the value the caller set. Wiring it in as a true out-of-bounds value is a separate change.

The discrete operator loses its viscous character and the stress's inter-element jumps force the velocity at mesh scale with nothing to damp them. Measured on the viscoelastic cylinder with an integration-point stress history: 14% of the stress by rms is inter-element jump content, every step, and the near wake scallops at cell scale before shedding begins. DEVSS (Guenette & Fortin 1995) adds and subtracts a viscous term, F1 += 2 eta_a (edot(u) - D), with D the strain rate projected onto the stress history's space and lagged one step. At convergence the pair cancels to projection error, so nothing physical is added; but the first term is implicit in the velocity and the second is data, so a mesh-scale velocity response -- which the projection does not carry -- sees the full viscosity eta_a while smooth modes see none. It acts on the response to the discontinuous stress, not on the stress: the history keeps everything it carries. Stokes.devss_viscosity = eta_a switches it on (None, the default, is off and the flux is unchanged). D lives in the stress history's space (degree u-1, continuous), is set from the initial velocity at first setup, and refreshed after every solve. The Navier-Stokes SUPG flux takes the same term. Test: on the uniform Maxwell box D equals edot exactly and the answer does not move for eta_a = 1 (1e-8 of the exact value); on the varying-modulus box the term is live and moves the answer by projection error only.

In the Stokes family that carry ran before the constitutive model's coefficient update, so with integrator='etd' the recorded flux used the viscous-limit coefficients (alpha = phi = 0): on the viscoelastic cylinder, which starts from a velocity field already in place, that gave 6.5x the viscous drag of BDF-1 from the first step, with pressure drag and stress norms identical (#740). _stress_history_prepare now refreshes the coefficients as soon as the elastic step is set; the post-carry refresh stays for the BDF ones. The trace-back Navier-Stokes solver never set dt_elastic or refreshed the coefficients at all, so a viscoelastic model there ran without its memory term and ETD in its viscous limit (#741). Its solve now does both around the carry, as the Stokes family does. Tests: the Maxwell shear box on the trace-back Navier-Stokes solver with both integrators, and a preset shear velocity giving BDF-1 and ETD-1 the same first stress to O(dt/t_r). The trace-back solver's level 0 holds the previous step after a solve (#742), so that test reads the constitutive flux there.

The nodal flavour holds it as a nodal field re-evaluated in place; the integration-point flavour had no slot and the factory refused it. It now carries one: a point variable and a continuous snapshot, committed from the solved strain rate by the constitutive model's post-solve hook (an L2 fit read back at the points, as the stress commit does) and sampled at the same departure point as the stress before the next solve. So the forcing the parcel saw travels with it, which is what the exponential update along the characteristic wants. Why: on the cylinder the two-level BDF-2 stress extrapolation blew up on the nodal history at Wi 0.5 and raised the integration-point Courant floor at Wi 5, while ETD-2 on the nodal history stayed clean. ETD-2 keeps one stress level and extrapolates only the forcing; this lets the integration-point history use it. Maxwell shear box: ETD-2 within 1% of the analytic curve on the nodal and integration-point flavours, the two agreeing to 1e-6 (the grid flavour has no forcing slot yet and is skipped for that case).

The difference was the box mesh's coordinate restore: a departure point that leaves through the inlet is clamped onto the edge and sampled there, and the L2 commit over the inlet column fed that sample back. The flavour now applies inflow_value: for points the trace restored (the unclamped end point differs from the clamped one) the history takes the inflow expression at the restored position instead of the edge sample. Meshes without a restore function, the gmsh ones, are unchanged. With the value set to the relaxed stress of the incoming flow the box channel is clean at Wi 5 and Wi 1, stress peak 0.020 against 0.021 on the grid. Test: uniform flow into a box carrying zero stress; after k steps the inflow tensor has entered k * speed * dt and no further, and without the value the edge sample brings in nothing.

The quantitative benchmarks (confined cylinder drag, 4:1 contraction, cross-slot) all rest on the upper-convected derivative. ViscoElasticPlasticFlowModel(..., objective_rate="none" | "upper_convected" | "jaumann") adds L.sigma + sigma.L^T (or W.sigma - sigma.W) on the carried stress with the current velocity gradient, linear in the unknown and first order in time, weighted by the newest level's coefficient in the BDF form and by alpha dt in the exponential form. Parameters.solvent_viscosity adds 2 eta_s E to the momentum flux; the history now commits history_flux, the polymer stress alone, so the solvent part is not fed back through the memory (the Stokes family and the trace-back Navier-Stokes solver both read it). Tests: start-up shear of the UCM fluid builds N1 = 2 eta lambda gdot^2 (1 - e^{-t/lambda}(1 + t/lambda)) to within 10% at dt/lambda = 0.1 on the nodal and integration-point histories, with the shear stress unchanged and the passive element making no N1; a solvent of eta_s adds exactly eta_s gdot to the total shear stress.

The pair is meant to cancel, leaving only the part of E the projected space cannot represent -- the cell-scale roughness the term exists to damp -- so the rheology is unchanged. The refresh that lets D track E lived only in the stress-history post-solve. A plain Stokes solve takes the other branch, so it never ran: D stayed at its initial zero and the term was a bare 2 eta_a E. The run then silently used eta + eta_a, and repeated solves did not heal it, because the branch that refreshes is not re-entered. Measured on a fully developed channel, eta = 1, eta_a = 0.25, where the exact gradient is -12: before: dp/dx = -15.00004 on every one of four successive solves (ratio 1.2500) after: dp/dx = -12.00000 Refreshing after the solve alone is not enough: D starts at zero, so the FIRST solve is still wrong and only a second call would be right -- and a steady problem is solved once. So the fix lag-iterates within the call, refreshing D from the velocity just found and re-solving until the pair has settled, bounded at four passes. A time-stepping viscoelastic run already gets its catch-up across steps and exits after the check solve. The viscoelastic path was never affected, which is why this hid: each timestep re-enters the stress-history branch and refreshes. The existing DEVSS test covers only that path; the new one pins the plain-Stokes path against the exact fully developed gradient, so it fails the moment the cancellation stops.

That cycle has no dissipation at the cell scale, so below Courant one a cell-scale mode of the carried stress grows from round-off (2.4 per unit time on the Maxwell Waters-King start-up) and rings. Removing the element null space does nothing, private nodes per cell diverge, DEVSS does not touch it; a Laplacian term in the store projection holds it. `store_smoothing` on IntegrationPointSemiLagrangian sets alpha = c * cell_size^2, a field so the dose follows the local cell; c = 0.07 holds the 1/32 case unconditionally at 0.5% on the peak and the irregular mesh needs that value. On the confined cylinder every history lost the positive-definiteness of the conformation tau*/G + I in the first step at Courant one on the far-field mesh: the wall shear rate is ten times the far-field one and the explicit stretching term cannot span a step of dt*gammadot ~ 3. The viscoelastic model gains `max_elastic_timestep(safety)`, the safety factor over the largest strain rate, and `conformation_min_eigenvalue()`, the health line that tells a lost preconditioner from a lost problem. Both trace-back histories expose `carried_tensors()` for that. Hard baselines on the shear box: one BDF-1 step from rest at dt = lambda gives eigenvalues 1 -+ 1/2 exactly; a wall four times faster gives -1 everywhere. The ringing test at 1/16, dt 0.0125 asserts the measured growth and its suppression; it reads the content after the trace-back, since after the store it is zero by construction.

Where it fails is where the projection itself +is wrong: sub-cell layers and no-slip walls. + +## The timestep is set by the wall strain rate, not the far-field Courant number + +The objective-rate source $L\sigma^* + \sigma^* L^T$ acts on the carried stress +with the current velocity gradient, so over one step it stretches the conformation +by about $(1 + \Delta t\,\dot\gamma)^2$ before relaxation acts. When +$\Delta t\,\dot\gamma$ is of order one that update loses the positive-definiteness +of the conformation $c = \sigma^*/G + I$ in the first step, and no arrangement of +the split recovers it. On the confined cylinder at Courant one on the far-field +mesh the wall shear rate is ten times the far-field one: every history lost the +conformation at the cylinder top in step one, the nodal history then ran away and +the solve hung, and the integration-point history gave out at Wi 0.6. At a step +ten times smaller the integration-point history is admissible everywhere to Wi 0.6. + +```python +dt = min(courant_dt, stokes.constitutive_model.max_elastic_timestep(safety=0.3)) +``` + +`max_elastic_timestep` is the safety factor over the largest strain-rate magnitude +$\sqrt{2\,\mathbf{D}:\mathbf{D}}$ anywhere (the shear rate in simple shear). A +safety factor of 0.3 kept the conformation positive on the cylinder. + +## Watching the conformation + +```python +health = stokes.constitutive_model.conformation_min_eigenvalue() +# {'min': 0.29, 'max': 79.3, 'fraction_negative': 0.0, 'where': (0.001, 1.07)} +``` + +An Oldroyd-B or Maxwell stress is $G(c - I)$ with $c$ positive-definite, so the +most compressive eigenvalue of the polymer stress is bounded by $-G$, and the +symmetric part of the momentum tangent stays positive exactly as long as that +holds. A negative `min` is a discretisation defect and it tells the two failure +modes apart: a solve that has lost its preconditioner (the non-symmetric, +co-rotational part of the tangent grows with $|W||\sigma^*|/G$ and is a solver +setting) from a solve that has lost its problem (nothing recovers it). Print this +line every step on a new problem. + +## Store smoothing for the integration-point history below Courant one + +The store cycle of the integration-point flavour, sample at the points then +project, is a consistent-mass Galerkin transport of the carried stress. It has no +dissipation at the cell scale, so below Courant one a cell-scale mode grows from +round-off at a rate $\gamma$ set by the elastic feedback: about 2.4 per unit time +on the Maxwell Waters-King start-up, 1.8 with a solvent fraction of 0.2, and not +observed at 0.59 over the run lengths used. The vertex interpolation of the nodal +flavour damps that mode; a discontinuous store (private nodes per cell) frees it +and diverges; DEVSS does not touch it. + +A Laplacian term in the store projection does. It multiplies wavenumber $k$ by +$1/(1 + \alpha k^2)$ once per step, so the mode is held when +$\alpha \approx \gamma\,\Delta t\,(h/\pi)^2$. The coefficient is a field, so the +dose follows the local cell on a graded mesh: + +```python +stokes.DFDt.store_smoothing = 0.07 # alpha = 0.07 * mesh.cell_size()**2 +``` + +Measured on the Waters-King start-up at 1/32 and $\Delta t = 0.01$: $c = 0.023$ +($\alpha = 10^{-5}$) holds the mode for eight time units at 0.1% on the peak, +$c = 0.07$ holds it unconditionally at 0.5%, and ten times that costs 3%. The +irregular mesh needs 0.07. Zero, the default, is the plain projection. When the +solvent viscosity is a fair fraction of the total, as on the cylinder benchmark, +the smoothing is unnecessary and costs nothing if left on. + +## DEVSS + +`solver.devss_viscosity = eta_a` adds $2\eta_a(\mathbf{D} - \bar{\mathbf{D}})$ +to the momentum flux, with $\bar{\mathbf{D}}$ the continuous projection of the +strain rate, iterated within the solve until the pair cancels. It is a viscosity +on cell-scale velocity modes only. It rescues the grid (SUPG) history on the +cylinder at Wi 0.4 (80,000 inner solves at the iteration cap without it, none +with), is harmless on the integration-point history, does nothing for the nodal +collapse, and does nothing for the store-cycle mode above. Use it with the grid +history; treat it as optional elsewhere. + +## Waters and King as the discriminating test + +The start-up of plane Poiseuille flow of a Maxwell fluid (Waters and King 1970) +has a reference solution and separates the histories: nodal converges as the +step falls, the integration-point history rings then diverges as the step falls +without smoothing, and the grid history diverges at every step. Note that the +exact solution is independent of $x$, so $u\cdot\nabla\sigma \equiv 0$ there: +the test exercises the store cycle, not the trace-back. A pure Maxwell element is +also the most demanding case for anything explicit in the stress. + +Related: [constitutive models](constitutive-models.md), +[integration-point variables](integration-point-variables.md), +[solvers](solvers.md).

The launch set is the integration points with their weights; each step every point moves forward one step along the velocity, the arrivals in each cell are fitted by weighted least squares to a linear polynomial (centred and scaled by the cell, so the eigenvalue ratio of the moment matrix is a conditioning test), and that discontinuous P1 field is what the weak form reads. After the solve the flux is read back at the launch points through a continuous P1 projection. A boundary cell whose face has fluid entering and that received less than it launched has the missing share filled with the inflow value. Nothing persists at the arrivals: one fixed point set, one velocity-dependent map, one fit, no particle state. Why: no launch point sits on a no-slip wall with zero velocity (the nodal history's wall-layer defect), the per-cell fit is cheaper than sampling a global store at every foot (17 s a step against 28 on the confined cylinder), and the wall stress it carries is the more self-consistent (drag by stress integral and by reaction within 1.4% where the integration-point history has them 12% apart). Cylinder Wi 0.4, dt 0.04: drag 118.76 (reference 120.6), conformation positive throughout. What it is not: a scheme without the cell-scale mode. It transports its memory consistently and rings below Courant one on a Maxwell element exactly as the integration-point history does (Waters-King 1/16, dt 0.0125: diverges at t 2.4 unsmoothed). `flux_smoothing`, a number or a field, is the Laplacian coefficient of the read-back projection; at c = 0.023 in cell-size units the same case runs clean to t 8 (0.9543 at t 1, 0.5185 at t 6.5, nodal 0.9622 / 0.5171), now a level-3 test with those baselines. A swarm prototype of the scheme that held without smoothing turned out not to be transporting its memory at all (the proxy was rebuilt from the particles at their launch positions before the flux was read); that is recorded so it is not rediscovered. Serial and first order only; a periodic seam is not crossed; the launch set does not follow a moving mesh. The setter refuses the flavour in parallel. Documented in docs/developer/subsystems/stress-transport.md with the recommended configuration.

Domain boundary faces come from the mesh's boundary label rather than the local support count, which in parallel would have made every partition face an inflow candidate; the inflow value is read at every boundary-cell dof on every rank before masking, since that read is collective; a rank with no cells keeps nothing. The serial refusals in the class and the solver setter are gone. Tested: np 2 and np 4 give the serial BDF-1 shear-box value 0.85136 with arrivals crossing the seams (asserted), and the Waters-King start-up at np 2 matches the serial trace to every printed digit (0.954273 at t 1, peak 0.97151 at t 1.088).

The findings that mattered were parallel correctness and two physics errors. Parallel: - The integration-point inflow write called a collective (evaluate) under a per-rank `if left.any()`: a run with the inlet on one rank deadlocked. The read is made on every rank now, and only the restored rows are kept. - The forward fit called a collective on the populated ranks that a rank with no cells skipped, and then divided by zero. Ownership at a seam went through the evaluation slab, which could keep a point a hair across the seam on the wrong rank; it is strict containment now, the same rule serial and parallel. - The file-mesh return-to-bounds fallback took every locally-single-cell facet as a domain boundary, so in parallel it snapped a foot crossing a partition seam to the seam, and read get_min_radius (collective) under a rank-local branch. It reads the mesh's boundary label now and the collective is unconditional. - The forward boundary "normal" was the cell-centroid-to-face vector, not the face normal, so half the wall cells of an unstructured mesh were marked inflow; a free-slip wall flipped sign from round-off. The face normal is used, oriented outward, with a round-off band on the sign. Physics: - The BDF-2 objective-rate source was weighted by the level-0 BDF coefficient, which is 2 at order 2: the stretching term was doubled. The source carries weight one at every order. - The theta rule read only the memory part of the stored stress, dropping the solvent viscosity's contribution at the old level in the composed solver. - The DEVSS first-step refresh had been placed in SNES_TransientDarcy.solve (which has no DEVSS); it is in the Stokes setup path where it belongs, and the lag loop exits on a reduced criterion and is skipped inside a composed solver's passes. Also: max_elastic_timestep returns a physical time when reference scales are active, as estimate_dt does, and raises on a non-finite rate rather than returning a silent nan; two class docstrings were shadowed by attributes placed before them; a history committed before the first carry is kept, not overwritten; the forward launch set refuses a moved mesh (by a coordinate stamp, since the topology version bumps on every variable creation); the integration-point history refuses ignored bcs; dead state removed. Tests: the parallel forward test runs on a gmsh mesh with a non-uniform stress and a flow that crosses a seam of either orientation, and matches serial to 1e-4 (a per-cell fit sums its arrivals in a partition-dependent order); the three flavour-vs-flavour tests carry hard serial baselines; the solvent test constrains the assembled momentum flux through a channel's first-step speed; the ringing test pins the growth rate rather than a round-off-seeded amplitude; markers corrected; the file-mesh test renumbered off its clash with test_0073. Docs numbers reconciled with the tests. test_1063 wired into CI (16 s); test_1060 and test_1061 stay out (15 min and longer).

It is now selectable the same way as the other histories, alongside semi_lagrangian, integration_point, forward and eulerian; the same scheme on a user-supplied swarm stays available as Lagrangian_Swarm passed through DFDt= (test_0070). Two defects had to be fixed for it to work through the solver factory: - update_post_solve and initialise_history evaluated the constitutive flux and wrote each tensor component in the same loop. The flux reads psi_star itself, and writing one component marks the swarm proxy stale, so the next component read a half-updated history and the relaxation advanced twice a step (recorded values ran sigma_1, sigma_3, sigma_5...). Every component is evaluated before any is written now, the pattern Lagrangian_Swarm already used (audit SWARM-06). The flavour then matches the integration-point history to 2e-8 on the uniform Maxwell shear box. - the owned swarm emptied downstream on an open boundary and the cells proxy had nothing to interpolate. It now sets population control that both fills starved cells and caps over-full ones, with bounds from the initial occupancy so the swarm neither starves nor grows without bound. Order 1 BDF only for now: the particle flavour has no exponential coefficients and order 2 is not yet validated, so the factory refuses the exponential integrator and order 2 cleanly rather than crashing in the first solve. The conformation check refuses it, as it does any history without a per-point tensor. Tests: lagrangian joins the test_1059 Maxwell-box matrix (held to the same 1e-6 spread as the mesh flavours) and the test_1063 restart round-trip (the raw per-particle array is not compared, since population control need not reproduce the particle set). Documented as the fifth history.

It carries the advected scalar's history on a swarm the caller supplies through a Lagrangian_Swarm manager, so it rides on the material swarm a coupled model already has rather than a private one. The solver declares its history variable on the swarm (so build it before populating) and does not advect the swarm itself: the flow solver advects the shared swarm in a coupled run, and a standalone loop advects it before each solve. It warns once if the swarm has not moved between solves, so a forgotten advection is not a silent, un-transported answer. Validated against the diffusing rotating Gaussian (uw.analytic.RotatingGaussian, exact at every time) on a disc: over a half revolution it gives the integral-L2 error 1.7e-2, matching SLCN (6.4e-2) and SUPG (6.5e-2) and diffusing to the exact peak, held to a hard baseline in tests/test_1101. The particle-scheme trap, a half-blend (step_averaging=2) that keeps the particle's old sharp value and under-diffuses, is caught by a second test. Two things the demonstrator turned up and the docstring now records. First, the mesh solution must return to the particles in full each step (PIC with step_averaging=1) or the field under-diffuses; a diffusion-matched FLIP retention keeps sub-cell sharpness where that matters. Second, a particle scheme needs its cells kept populated: a square box under rigid rotation loses its corners (they sit at radius > side/2 and rotate out of the domain), which starves the corner cells and destabilises any particle scheme though the mesh schemes are indifferent, so rotation demonstrators use a disc or annulus. scripts/test.sh widens the adv-diff batch glob to test_110* so the new test runs.

The cause was not depopulation: tracking the per-cell particle count, the particle values and the nodal projection showed the cells never starve (min 15 particles each). Where the flow crosses a wall, out-flowing particles are clamped back just inside it and pile up in a thin layer along the boundary (249 in one cell). The history proxy was degree 2, and a six-coefficient per-cell least-squares fit of particles strung along a line is only mildly ill-conditioned, under the projector's guard, so it overshoots the nodal value about fivefold; that overshoot enters the solve, corrupts the particles a few steps later, and diverges. A degree-1 fit needs three spanning points, is well conditioned on the clamped layer, and holds. It defaults to degree 1 now (`proxy_degree`, exposed for the rare case where the flow keeps every cell's particles well spread and the extra accuracy is wanted). Measured on the rotating diffusing Gaussian: the square box now runs to a full revolution bounded and diffusing to the exact peak (half-turn error 6.7e-2 where degree 2 blew up), and the disc is 2.0e-2 over a half revolution, still between SUPG (1.7e-2) and SLCN (2.5e-2). test_1101 gains the box case; the disc baseline moves to the degree-1 value.
