Re: [Question #404284]: The meaning of periodic boundary

 

Question #404284 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/404284

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Liu,

in the previous answer, I got feeling that you ask only about efficiency.
In that case, it should be compared with full simulation.

If you compare physical results, than you can compare it with RVE
representation using PBC if you expect they are representative enough. But
in that case also the efficiency should be compared to this reduced
problem, or? :-)

I think the reduced problem can be used for comparison of physical results,
but there should be another problem, where the situation cannot be such
simplified and where the coupling is really beneficial.

cheers
Jan
