Member Data Documentation

◆ Adaptive_time_stepping

bool chrono::fsi::SimParams::Adaptive_time_stepping

Works only with ISPH for now, use Co_number can be used as the criteria for adaptivity.

dT_Max is set either from the Co_number, or the time step the is required for outputting data

◆ binSize0

Real chrono::fsi::SimParams::binSize0

Suggests the length of the bin each particle occupies.

Normally this would be 2*hsml since hsml is the radius of the particle, but when we have periodic boundary condition varies a little from 2 hsml.This may change slightly due to the location of the periodic BC.

◆ bodyForce3

Real3 chrono::fsi::SimParams::bodyForce3

Constant force applied to the fluid.

Flexible and rigid bodies are not affected by this force directly, but instead they are affected indirectly through the fluid.

◆ deltaPress

Real3 chrono::fsi::SimParams::deltaPress

Change in Pressure.

This is needed for periodic BC. The change in pressure of a particle when it moves from end boundary to beginning.

◆ densityReinit

int chrono::fsi::SimParams::densityReinit

Reinitialize density after densityReinit steps.

Note that doing this more frequently helps in getting more accurate incompressible fluid, but more stable solution is obtained for larger densityReinit

◆ dT

Real chrono::fsi::SimParams::dT

Time step.

Depending on the model this will vary and the only way to determine what time step to use is to run simulations multiple time and find which one is the largest dT that produces a stable simulation.

◆ MULT_INITSPACE

Real chrono::fsi::SimParams::MULT_INITSPACE

Multiplier to hsml to determine the initial separation of the fluid particles and the fixed separation for the boundary particles.

This means that the separation will always be a multiple of hsml. Default value = 1.0.

◆ straightChannelBoundaryMin

Real3 chrono::fsi::SimParams::straightChannelBoundaryMin

Origin of the coordinate system (Point (0,0,0)).

In this case (straigh channel) this point is where the leftmost particle of the 3rd layer of boundary particles is located. Everything below this point is outside the tolerance zone, this means that everything below is not considered part of the system
