Detailed Description

template<int DIM>
class SAMRAI::geom::CartesianGridGeometry< DIM >

Class CartesianGridGeometry<DIM> provides simple Cartesian mesh geometry management on an AMR hierarchy. The mesh coordinates on each hierarchy level are limited to mesh increments specified as DIM-tuple (dx[0],...,dx[DIM-1]) and spatial coordinates of the lower and upper corners of the smallest parallelepiped bounding the entire computational domain. The mesh increments on each level are defined with respect to the coarsest hierarchy level and multiplying those values by the proper refinement ratio. This class sets geometry information on each patch in an AMR hierarchy. This class is derived from the xfer::Geometry<DIM> base class which is further derived from the hier::GridGeometry<DIM> base class.

An object of this class requires numerous parameters to be read from input. Also, data must be written to and read from files for restart. The input and restart data are summarized as follows:

Required input keys and data types:

• domain_boxes tbox::Array of boxes representing the index space for the entire domain (on the coarsest refinement level).

• x_lo tbox::Array of double values representing the spatial coordinates of the lower corner of the physical domain.

• x_up tbox::Array of double values representing the spatial coordinates of the upper corner of the physical domain.

Optional input keys, data types, and defaults:

• periodic_dimension tbox::Array of integer values representing the directions in which the physical domain is periodic. A non-zero value indicates that the direction is periodic. A zero value indicates that the direction is not periodic. If no values are specified, then the array is initialized to all zeros (no periodic directions).

• use_original_location_indices Boolean argument to handle backward compatibility with new location index scheme for codimension 2 in 3 dimensions. Set to true to use the location index scheme that was used in SAMRAI v. 1.4 and earlier versions, and false to use the new scheme. In 3 dimensions, this key defaults to true if not present in the input. In all other dimensions, this key is irrelevant.

No input values can overwrite restart values.

A sample input file for a two-dimensional problem might look like:

 *
 *    domain_boxes = [(0,0) , (49,39)]
 *    x_lo = 0.0 , 0.0
 *    x_up = 50.0 , 40.0
 *    periodic_dimension = 0, 1  // periodic in y only
 *
 * 

This generates a two-dimensional rectangular domain periodic in the y-direction, and having 50 cells in the x-direction and 40 cells in the y-direction, with the cell size 1 unit in each direction.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<int DIM> SAMRAI::geom::CartesianGridGeometry< DIM >::CartesianGridGeometry (  const string &  object_name, tbox::Pointer< tbox::Database >  input_db, bool  register_for_restart = true )

Constructor for CartesianGridGeometry<DIM> initializes data members based on parameters read from the specified input database or from the restart database corresponding to the specified object name. The constructor also registers this object for restart using the specified object name when the boolean argument is true. Whether object will write its state to restart files during program execution is determined by this argument. Note that it has a default state of true. Errors: passing in a null database pointer or an empty string will result in an unrecoverable assertion.

template<int DIM> SAMRAI::geom::CartesianGridGeometry< DIM >::CartesianGridGeometry (  const string &  object_name, const double *  x_lo, const double *  x_up, const hier::BoxArray< DIM > &  domain, bool  register_for_restart = true )

Constructor for CartesianGridGeometry<DIM> sets data members based on arguments. The constructor also registers this object for restart using the specified object name when the boolean argument is true. Whether object will write its state to restart files during program execution is determined by this argument. Note that it has a default state of true. Errors: passing in an empty string, or null data pointers will result in an unrecoverable assertion.

template<int DIM> SAMRAI::geom::CartesianGridGeometry< DIM >::~CartesianGridGeometry (   )  [virtual]

Destructor for CartesianGridGeometry<DIM> deallocates data describing grid geometry and unregisters the object with the restart manager if previously registered.
