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>
