Description

Hi @fverdugo ... I think that the Dirichlet and Neumann Boundary conditions are flipped in the Darcy's tutorial + RT FEs.

In particular, in the Darcy problem, one imposes the trace of the pressure in the Dirichlet boundary, and the normal component of the flux in the Neumann boundary. Indeed, Dirichlet boundary conditions are natural boundary conditions (i.e., imposed weakly) for Darcy, and Neumann boundary condition are essential boundary conditions for Darcy (i.e., imposed strongly).

See, e.g., pag. 153 of

Is there anything I am missing here? Do you agree? I can help with the changes required to fix this, if needed.
