  org.jscience.physics.fluids.dynamics.characteristics.QuadraticCharacteristics3D

public class QuadraticCharacteristics3D
extends java.lang.Object

This class calculates the values of the different magnitudes cx, cy, cc y cd at the root of the caracteristics for a 3D meshing with a speed field. Tipically these magnitudes correspond with the three speed components x, y and z and with the concentration of a contaminant.

Constructor Detail

QuadraticCharacteristics3D

public QuadraticCharacteristics3D(KernelADFC kadfc,
                                  NavierStokesMesh m,
                                  double deltaT,
                                  boolean contam)

Constructor. Takes as arguments the mesh and the time step duration

Parameters:

kadfc - kernel parent of the current process

m - mesh to consider

deltaT - time step

contam - indicates if the contaminant should be transported or not

Method Detail

calculate

public void calculate(double[] cxa,
                      double[] cya,
                      double[] cza,
                      double[] cca)

Calculates the values transported by the vectors which are pased as arguments. The new values are placed in those same vectors.

Parameters:

cxa - component x of the speed

cya - component y of the speed

cza - component z of the speed

cca - contaminant concentration

initializeCaches

public void initializeCaches()

Call this method before calculate(). The invocation is done by default if needed.

setSpeedFields

public void setSpeedFields(double[] vxa,
                           double[] vya,
                           double[] vza,
                           double[] vxb,
                           double[] vyb,
                           double[] vzb)

Indicatestes the values of the two speed components in each node.

Parameters:

vxa - component x of the speed at instant n

vya - component y of the speed at instant n

vza - component z of the speed at instant n

vxb - component x of the speed at instant n-1

vyb - component y of the speed at instant n-1

vzb - component z of the speed at instant n-1
