[Users] Boundary conditions on a sphere

[Erik Schnetter]

I would recommend using a multi-block system where the location of the
boundary coincides with a coordinate plane. You will then need to
implement the respective boundary condition yourself, by choosing
those points which have respective grid point indices.

An alternative method might be to use embedded boundary conditions. I
have not used these myself and know little about them, but they are
used to apply boundary conditions with Cartesian grids that do not
align with boundaries.

In other words, if there is a way to impose boundary conditions on some subset of the fields at some finite radial coordinate, smaller than the size of the computational domain, while letting the rest of the fields propagate freely until the boundary of such computational domain. I assume this would be easier with a multipatch system, but solutions for a Cartesian grid would also be ok.
