Enumeration Type Documentation

UpdateTimeFlags

enum aspect::Particle::Property::UpdateTimeFlags

Enumerator
update_never	Never update the initially set properties. This is the default behaviour, which is sufficient for particle properties that are set at the beginning of the model and constant for the whole simulation time.
update_output_step	Update the particle properties before every output. This is sufficient for all passive particle properties that depend on the current solution, like the current velocity or pressure.
update_time_step	Update the particle properties every timestep. This is only necessary if the properties at the output time depend on some sort of time integration of solution properties or time varying particle properties are used while solving the model problem.

InitializationModeForLateParticles

enum aspect::Particle::Property::InitializationModeForLateParticles

This enum controls how to initialize the properties of particles that have been added later than the initial particle creation, e.g. to improve the load balance or to prevent empty cells.

Enumerator
initialize	Initialize the particle as if it were created at the beginning of the model at its current position with the current solution.
interpolate	Use the interpolated properties of the surrounding particles as calculated by the selected interpolator.
interpolate_respect_boundary	Use the interpolated properties of the surrounding particles as calculated by the selected interpolator except for particles in boundary cells. These will use the boundary condition of the compositional fields instead. This mode only makes sense for properties that are associated with compositional fields through the parameter 'Compositional fields/Mapped particle properties'.
initialize_to_zero	Initialize the particle properties to zero. If the property is updated over time its update function is called as usual, if not the property will remain zero throughout the model run.
