Adds base mechanism for domain-edge boundary conditions applied to fields, and make it possible to use it by the MHD model.

Issue

Relates to #1127.

Usage

To be backward-compatible, the non-periodic directions must be indicated as "physical" in the "boundary_types" Simulation's kwarg lis. Up to now this list was only allowed to specify "periodic" for each direction. Periodic directions remains the default behavior. I think "boundary_types" should be renamed as "direction_types" or "is_periodic" (in this last case should becomes a list of bools)

For non-periodic directions, boundary_conditions shall be specified, with this kind of SImulation's kwargs:

    boundary_types="physical",  # if scalar, all directions types are set with this value
    boundary_conditions={  #  assuming the simulation is 1D, we must prescribe xlower and xupper as boundary conditions
        "xlower": {"type": "super-magnetofast-inflow",
                   "data": {"velocity": [U, 0.0, 0.0],
                            "density": 1.0,
                            "pressure": 1.0,
                            "B": [Bx, By, 0.0]}},
        "xupper": {"type": "open"},

Supported boundary condition types: none, reflective, super-magnetofast-inflow, open.

Design

We resort to the SAMRAI mechanism for enforcing boundary conditions: overriding the SAMRAI's RefinePatchStrategy class by a FieldRefinePatchStrategy. Its main function, setPhysicalBoundaryConditions defers the work to newly created core classes, mostly BoundaryManager and IFieldBoundaryCondition. This last one is abstract, and is implemented for each elementary field boundary condition (Neumann, Dirichlet, ...). The BoundaryManager belongs to the model, and basically associates one IFieldBoundaryCondition per physical quantity and per physical/non-periodic boundary.

More detail will be added here.

Tests

  • C++ unit tests per individual field boundary condition type.
  • pyphare validation tests for the configuration dict.
  • Functional: mhd_shock_with_super_magnetofast_inflow, and a two-level mhd_harris_with_boundaries exercising a refined level at a physical boundary.

To be done

Some point are left open:

  • concepts for GridLayout, Scalar Vs Vector FieldData.
  • usage of BoxIterator (and its reversed), shall be removed when new box iterations are available.
  • handling of temporary refinement patches near boundaries/
  • some utility definition (ParseDimXYZType) moved, or new ones created (neighbor in point.hpp)

Adds domain-edge (outer) physical boundary conditions for the MHD model, ported
from the embedded-boundary development branch as a self-contained change.

Boundaries are declared per face in Python, with constant prescribed values:

    boundary_types="physical",
    boundary_conditions={
        "xlower": {"type": "super-magnetofast-inflow",
                   "data": {"velocity": [U, 0.0, 0.0],
                            "density": 1.0,
                            "pressure": 1.0,
                            "B": [Bx, By, 0.0]}},
        "xupper": {"type": "open"},
    },

Supported types: none, reflective, super-magnetofast-inflow, open.

Core (src/core/boundary, src/core/numerics/boundary_condition)
- BoundaryManager / BoundaryFactory map the declared dict to per-quantity field
  boundary conditions: None, Neumann, Dirichlet, Symmetric, Antisymmetric,
  DivergenceFreeTransverseNeumann, DivergenceFreeTransverseDirichlet and
  TotalEnergyFromPressure.
- Conservative composites are built from the prescribed primitives: momentum
  rho*v, and the total energy from the prescribed pressure through the ideal-gas
  relation, using the heat capacity ratio already carried by the dict.
- Inflow B stays E-mediated: a divergence-free transverse Dirichlet condition
  sets the transverse ghost components while keeping the normal face divergence
  free, so it also produces valid ghosts at init and regrid.
- Supporting infrastructure: IPatchFieldAccessor, field / tensorfield / vecfield
  concepts, GridLayout::boundaryMirrored and toFieldBox, the Side enum,
  Point::neighbor, a Box reverse iterator and initializer/dict_utils.

AMR (src/amr)
- FieldRefinePatchStrategy fills physical-boundary ghosts during SAMRAI refine
  schedules; MagneticRefinePatchStrategy is reparented onto it.
- MHDModel builds a BoundaryManager; HybridModel gets an inert one so messenger
  signatures stay uniform. MHDMessenger wires the per-quantity refine patch
  strategies, and the messenger factory threads the manager through.
- The grid periodicity now follows the declared boundary_type per axis instead
  of being hardcoded periodic, and SAMRAI is told not to grow undersized boxes
  across a physical boundary (which produced patches with interior cells outside
  the domain that no fill ever wrote).
- Outer E boundary conditions are triggered after constrained transport.

Python (pyphare)
- pharein/boundary.py holds the boundary-condition dataclasses, validation and
  serialisation; simulation.py accepts boundary_types="physical" and the
  boundary_conditions dict; restarts warn when a restart changes them.

Tests
- C++ unit tests per boundary-condition type (including the Dirichlet-B-as-energy
  sub-BC and the divergence-free transverse pair in 1D/2D/3D), the boundary
  manager and the boundary factory dispatch.
- pyphare validation tests for the configuration dict.
- Functional: mhd_shock_with_super_magnetofast_inflow (inflow density holds the
  prescribed left state over 1000 steps) and a two-level
  mhd_harris_with_boundaries exercising a refined level at a physical boundary.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds physical boundary-condition support across Python simulation setup, C++ boundary abstractions, AMR ghost refinement, MHD solver integration, and automated tests. It supports none, open, reflective, and super-magnetofast-inflow conditions.

Changes

Physical Boundary Conditions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python boundary configuration
pyphare/pyphare/pharein/boundary.py, pyphare/pyphare/pharein/simulation.py, pyphare/pyphare/pharein/initialize/general.py, pyphare/pyphare/pharein/restarts.py
Boundary conditions are validated, normalized, resolved into typed objects, serialized into the simulation dictionary, and compared during restart checks.
Core boundary model and field conditions
src/core/boundary/*, src/core/numerics/boundary_condition/*, src/core/data/*, src/core/utilities/*, src/initializer/dict_utils.hpp
The core adds boundary definitions, boundary managers, field-condition interfaces, concrete ghost-cell conditions, divergence-free magnetic updates, energy reconstruction, field concepts, grid mirroring, reverse box iteration, and dictionary parsing.
AMR and solver integration
src/amr/data/*, src/amr/messengers/*, src/amr/physical_models/*, src/amr/solvers/*, src/amr/wrappers/hierarchy.hpp
Physical boundary managers flow into refinement strategies and messengers. Ghost fields receive boundary-aware fills during initialization, refinement, and time integration. Hierarchy periodicity now follows boundary_type.
Validation and regression tests
pyphare/pyphare_tests/*, tests/core/*, tests/functional/*, res/cmake/test.cmake, res/sim/all.txt
Tests cover configuration validation, boundary selection, scalar and vector ghost fills, divergence preservation, total-energy reconstruction, reverse iteration, and MHD functional cases.
Build registration
src/core/CMakeLists.txt, src/amr/CMakeLists.txt, tests/core/*/CMakeLists.txt, tests/functional/*/CMakeLists.txt
New headers and boundary-condition, boundary-manager, and functional tests are registered with the build system.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b271a

This PR adds configurable physical boundaries and coupled field updates, but the current implementation can trigger undefined behavior during boundary setup, generate invalid energy values for open boundaries, or leave partially updated state after a failed update; corner results may also depend on fill order. Merge should wait for these correctness and verification issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

Reduce the diagnostic dump cadence for this CI test.

dump_freq = 1 writes a dump at every one of the 1000 steps, for four quantities. The cleanup registration at line 251 is commented out, so the output directory also stays on disk after the test. This costs CI time and disk space.

The assertion at lines 229-232 reads only the leftmost interior cell per dump. A coarser cadence still discriminates the failure modes documented at lines 186-189.

Extract the repeated sub-BC setup into a helper.

This four-shared-pointer block plus the FieldTotalEnergyFromPressureBoundaryCondition construction repeats verbatim in InteriorEtotUnchangedAfterBC, InteriorPressureUnchangedAfterBC, and the 2D and 3D equivalents. The six fixtures also duplicate the same constant block and fill loops. A dimension-templated helper that returns the configured condition would remove most of that repetition and keep one place to change when the constructor signature changes.

Reject non-finite gamma values.

float("nan") passes this condition because comparisons with NaN are false. The code then forwards NaN to the MHD configuration although NaN is not greater than 1. Require a finite value.

Check ghost-list cardinality before building ID maps.

When a sibling list is shorter than ghostDensity, buildFieldIdMaps_ indexes it before registerGhostRefinePatchStrategies_ checks its size. This can cause undefined behavior during messenger setup instead of the intended exception. Validate all six indexed lists against nStates before the loop.

Validate gamma before registering open conditions.

BoundaryFactory::create defaults gamma to 0.0, while register_open_conditions_ constructs FieldTotalEnergyFromPressureBoundaryCondition without validation. That condition computes energy using gamma - 1.0, so gamma <= 1.0 produces invalid energy values or division by zero. Apply the same validation as register_inflow_conditions_ and add a regression test.

Two new boundary-condition headers are missing from SOURCES_INC.

The list at lines 38-44 enumerates every other condition header added by this change, but it omits:

  • numerics/boundary_condition/field_divergence_free_transverse_dirichlet_boundary_condition.hpp
  • numerics/boundary_condition/divergence_free_transverse_common.hpp

Both are part of this change. The factory in src/core/numerics/boundary_condition/field_boundary_condition_factory.hpp constructs FieldDivergenceFreeTransverseDirichletBoundaryCondition, and tests/core/numerics/boundary_condition/test_field_boundary_conditions_div_free_transverse_dirichlet.cpp includes the header directly. The build still resolves them through include directories, so this does not break compilation; it leaves the target's source manifest incomplete and inconsistent with the sibling entries.

Use Codim3BoundaryLocation in the node loops.

Lines 62 and 89 cast node indices to Codim2BoundaryLocation. Both loops then test edge dispatch instead of 3D-corner dispatch. In the ByDirection test, use the third adjacent face ([2]) after the correction.

The check can pass without verifying anything.

If diag_path does not exist, the function returns before the checked_any assertion at line 235. The test then reports success with zero verification. The same weakening applies to the broad except Exception: continue at lines 205-206: it skips timestamps whose read fails for any reason, including a bug in the reader.

Make the missing-diagnostics case fail, and narrow the exception type so that unexpected reader errors surface.
