- Reactant
Reactant Block¶
The Reactant
block sets the reactants and products
that can be used for any number of reactions. The reactants and
products can point to any combination of Nuetral or
Kinetically Modeled Particle Species.
This block will always contain the kind of species it points to, as well as the name of the associated block for that species.
Reactant Attributes¶
- kind (string, required)
- The kind can be:
particle
neutralGas
fluid
field
- Other attributes depend on chosen kind
- kind=particle
particleSpeciesName`
(string, required)This should point to a Species block by name
- kind=neutralGas
neutralGasName`
(string, required)This should point to a neutralGas fluid block by name
- kind=fluid
densityFieldName
(string, required)This should point to a 1-component, kind=regularCrossDev Field block by name
fluxFieldName
(string, required)This should point to a 3-component, kind=regularCrossDev Field block by name
energyFieldName
(string, required)This should point to a 1-component, kind=regularCrossDev Field block by name
gamma
(real, optional, default: 5/3)This is the adiabatic parameter of the gas
mass
(real, optional, default: proton mass)This is the mass of the gas species
randomSeed
(int, optional, default: no seed)This is a random seed used for the gas location within a cell
- kind=field
fieldName
(string, required)This should point to a 3-component, kind=regular Field block by name
Example RxnProcess Blocks¶
<Reactant Ar>
kind = fluid
densityFieldName = density
fluxFieldName = flux
energyFieldName = energy
gamma = 1.4
mass = 5.66e-26
randomSeed = 1234
</Reactant>
<Reactant eField>
kind = field
fieldName = multiField.E
</Reactant>
