Higher order mappings for curved boundaries

+ +In the program, we will use a spherical shell as domain. This means +that the inner and outer boundary of the domain are no longer +"straight" (by which we usually mean that they are bilinear surfaces +that can be represented by the StraightBoundary class). Rather, they +are curved and it seems prudent to use a curved approximation in the +program if we are already using higher order finite elements for the +velocity. Consequently, we will introduce a member variable of type +MappingQ that +denotes such a mapping (step-10 and step-11 introduce such mappings +for the first time) and that we will use in all computations on cells +that are adjacent to the boundary. Since this only affects a +relatively small fraction of cells, the additional effort is not very +large and we will take the luxury of using a quartic mapping for these +cells. + +
