boundaryEntityGenerator (1d, 2d, 3d)¶

Generates ghost cells for a particular entity so that an updater requiring ghost cells can be used on a subset of the full domain.

Parameters¶

onEntity (string): The entity which will be used to construct ghost layers around. This can be considered the interior region
boundaryName (string): The name of the new entity that contains the boundary ghost cells of the interior region
layers (integer): The number of ghost layers to define

Example¶

<Updater generateVacuumBoundary>
  kind = boundaryEntityGenerator2d
  onGrid = domain
  layers = 2
  boundaryName = vacuumBoundary
  onEntity = vacuum
</Updater>
