PH-CON-001¶
Name: Mass conservation violation
Severity: error
Input modes: adapter+dump
Scope separation (read first): PH-CON-001 validates the production
rule’s ability to measure integral conservation drift on
analytically controlled source-free snapshots. It does not certify
the accuracy of a heat-equation time integrator. The F2 fixture is
explicitly analytical-snapshot (u = cos(2πx) cos(2πy) · exp(−8π²κt),
exact solution of 2D periodic heat with zero spatial mean at all t),
not a numerically-evolved FD solution.
Heat mass conservation check: for source-free periodic heat equation,
total mass ∫_Ω u dV is invariant in t. Rule emits
max_t |M(t) − M(0)| / max(|M(0)|, ‖u_0‖_{L¹}); shipped-default
relative threshold 1e-4.
