absCutCell

AbsCutCell

Works with VSimPD and VSimMD licenses.

This particle sink removes particles at cut-cell (conformal) boundary, deleting them from the simulation.

AbsCutCell Parameters

minDim (integer): Minimum dimensionality for which this sink is applicable (1, 2, or 3).

lowerBounds (integer vector): Gives lower bounds of the particle sink in cell indices.

upperBounds (integer vector): Gives upper bounds of the particle sink in cell indices.

gridBoundary (string): Name of the gridBoundary in the simulation.

useCornerMove (string, default = true): Set to true to specify corner move dynamics when removing the particle at a cut cell. If false, uses the parallel move from 1 cell deep. Using true, e.g., corner move, is more robust in some circumstances.

AbsCutCell Example Block

<ParticleSink absorber>
 kind = absCutCell
 minDim = 3
 gridBoundary = diodecavity
 lowerBounds = [0  1  0]
 upperBounds = [NX_TOT  2  NZ_TOT]
</ParticleSink>
