Subject: | [ESPResSo-users] Implementation of boundaries, lb_boundaries.cpp |
Date: | Tue, 4 Feb 2014 12:30:07 +0000 |
Dear all, I have got a question concerning the implementation of boundaries in the Lattice-Boltzmann source code (lb-boundaries.cpp). For that, a flag (stored in the structure
“lbfields[k].boundary”) is set to decide, whether the node is a fluid of boundary node. Lets take the example of the wall, since this should be quite easy to understand. Here some parts of the source code (lb-boundaries.cpp), I did not fully understood.
276 dist = 1e99; […]
280 case LB_BOUNDARY_WAL: 281 calculate_wall_dist((Particle*) NULL, pos, (Particle*) NULL, &lb_boundaries[n].c.wal, &dist_tmp, dist_vec); 282 break; […] 309 if (dist_tmp<dist || n == 0) { 310 dist = dist_tmp; 311 the_boundary = n; 312 }
[…] 315 if (dist <= 0 && the_boundary >= 0 && n_lb_boundaries > 0) { 316 lbfields[get_linear_index(x,y,z,lblattice.halo_grid)].boundary = the_boundary+1; 317 //printf("boundindex %i: \n", get_linear_index(x,y,z,lblattice.halo_grid));
318 } 319 else { 320 lbfields[get_linear_index(x,y,z,lblattice.halo_grid)].boundary = 0; As far as I understood the code, the function “calculate_wall_dist” in line 281 calculates the distance of the node to the wall. The if-clause in line 309 compares
that distance to the distance dist=1e99 and gives out the minimum. Line 315 ff. finally sets the flag to the structure lbfields.boundary. Here are my questions:
1)
A flag of 0 means fluid node, doesn’t it? All boundary-nodes are 1 or bigger.
2)
Why do you initialize the variable “dist” with 1e99. I expected something like: compare the distances origin-node to origin-wall; if the first one is
smaller, one gets a boundary node, otherwise a fluid-node. Where does that number come from? I would be very thankful, if someone could help me out. Greetings Markus Wink |
