Indicates Vorpal should calculate the absorbed current for a species by an absAndSav absorber. speciesCurrAbs requires both a species parameter and ptclAbsorbers parameter. This History tracks the current from charged particles as they impact the absorbers.

speciesCurrAbs Parameters

species (string vector, required): Indicates particle species type for a History kind that reports data for particle species. Exactly one species name should be specified.

ptclAbsorbers (string vector): Specifies name(s) the particle absorber(s), on which the absorbed current due to incident charged particles are recorded. At least one absorber should be specified. The absorber must be a kind of absorb-and-save. If multiple absorbers are specified, total absorbed current on all these absorbers are recorded.

speciesCurrAbs History Example

<History ptclHistCurrent>
    kind = speciesCurrAbs
    species = [ions]
    ptclAbsorbers = [rightAbsorber]
</History>
