Exact solution used in MES runs

We would like to MES the operation (in a cylindrical geometry)

$$ \nabla \cdot \left(S_n\frac{\nabla_\perp \phi}{B}\right) $$

As we have a homogenenous $B$-field, we have normalized it out, and remain with

$$ \nabla \cdot \left(S_n\nabla_\perp \phi\right) $$

We have that

$$S = \nabla\cdot(S_n\nabla_\perp\phi) = S_n\nabla_\perp^2\phi + \nabla S_n\cdot \nabla_\perp \phi = S_n\nabla_\perp^2\phi + \nabla_\perp S_n\cdot \nabla_\perp \phi$$

We will use the Delp2 operator for the perpendicular Laplace operator (as the y-derivatives vanishes in cylinder geometry). We have

Delp2$(f)=g^{xx}\partial_x^2 f + g^{zz}\partial_z^2 f + 2g^{xz}\partial_x\partial_z f + G^1\partial_x f + G^3\partial_z f$

Using the cylinder geometry, we get that

Delp2$(f)=\partial_x^2 f + \frac{1}{x^2}\partial_z^2 f + \frac{1}{x}\partial_x f$

Further on, due to orthogonality we have that $$\nabla_\perp S_n\cdot \nabla_\perp \phi = \mathbf{e}^i\cdot \mathbf{e}^i(\partial_i S_n)(\partial_i \phi) = g^{xx}(\partial_x S_n)(\partial_x \phi) + g^{zz}(\partial_z S_n)(\partial_z \phi) = (\partial_x S_n)(\partial_x \phi) + \frac{1}{x^2}(\partial_z S_n)(\partial_z \phi)$$

This gives

$$S = \nabla\cdot(S_n\nabla_\perp\phi) = S_n\partial_x^2 \phi + S_n\frac{1}{x^2}\partial_z^2 \phi + S_n\frac{1}{x}\partial_x \phi + (\partial_x S_n)(\partial_x \phi) + \frac{1}{x^2}(\partial_z S_n)(\partial_z \phi)$$

We will use this to calculate the analytical solution.

NOTE:

z must be periodic
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be of class infinity in $z=0$ and $z=2\pi$
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be single valued when $\rho\to0$
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be continuous in the $\rho$ direction with $f(\rho, \theta + \pi)$
Eventual BC in $\rho$ must be satisfied
