Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >

This class manages the storage and handling of particles. It provides the data structures necessary to store particles efficiently, accessor functions to iterate over particles and find particles, and algorithms to distribute particles in parallel domains. Note that the class is designed in a similar way as the triangulation class. In particular, we call particles in the domain of the local process local particles, and particles that belong to neighbor processes and live in the ghost cells around the locally owned domain "ghost particles".

A type that can be used to iterate over all particles in the domain.

Definition at line 60 of file particle_handler.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
using Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::particle_iterator_range = boost::iterator_range<particle_iterator>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::ParticleHandler ( )

Default constructor.

Definition at line 32 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::ParticleHandler ( const parallel::distributed::Triangulation< dim, spacedim > &  tria,
const Mapping< dim, spacedim > &  mapping,
const unsigned int  n_properties = 0 
)

Constructor that initializes the particle handler with a given triangulation and mapping. Since particles are stored in respect to their surrounding cells this information is necessary to correctly organize the particle collection. This constructor is equivalent to calling the default constructor and the initialize function.

Definition at line 49 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::~ParticleHandler ( )
override

Destructor.

Definition at line 70 of file particle_handler.cc.

Member Function Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::initialize ( const parallel::distributed::Triangulation< dim, spacedim > &  tria,
const Mapping< dim, spacedim > &  mapping,
const unsigned int  n_properties = 0 
)

Initialize the particle handler. This function does not clear the internal data structures, it just sets the connections to the MPI communicator and the triangulation.

Definition at line 77 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::clear ( )

Clear all particle related data.

Definition at line 93 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::clear_particles ( )

Only clear particle data, but keep cache information about number of particles. This is useful during reorganization of particle data between processes.

Definition at line 105 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::update_cached_numbers ( )

Update all internally cached numbers. Note that all functions that modify internal data structures and act on multiple particles will call this function automatically (e.g. insert_particles), while functions that act on single particles will not call this function (e.g. insert_particle). This is done because the update is expensive compared to single operations.

Definition at line 114 of file particle_handler.cc.

ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::particle_iterator Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::insert_particle ( const Particle< dim, spacedim > &  particle,
const typename Triangulation< dim, spacedim >::active_cell_iterator &  cell 
)

Insert a particle into the collection of particles. Return an iterator to the new position of the particle. This function involves a copy of the particle and its properties. Note that this function is of \(O(N \log N)\) complexity for \(N\) particles.

Definition at line 272 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::insert_particles ( const std::multimap< typename Triangulation< dim, spacedim >::active_cell_iterator, Particle< dim, spacedim >> &  particles)

Insert a number of particles into the collection of particles. This function involves a copy of the particles and their properties. Note that this function is of O(n_existing_particles + n_particles) complexity.

Definition at line 296 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::insert_particles ( const std::vector< Point< spacedim >> &  positions)

Create and insert a number of particles into the collection of particles. This function takes a list of positions and creates a set of particles at these positions, which are then added to the local particle collection. Note that this function currently uses GridTools::compute_point_locations, which assumes all positions are within the local part of the triangulation. If one of them is not in the local domain this function will throw an exception.

Definition at line 316 of file particle_handler.cc.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void Particles::ParticleHandler< dim, spacedim >::register_additional_store_load_functions ( const std::function< std::size_t()> &  size_callback,
const std::function< void *(const particle_iterator &, void *)> &  store_callback,
const std::function< const void *(const particle_iterator &, const void *)> &  load_callback 
)

This function allows to register three additional functions that are called every time a particle is transferred to another process (i.e. during sorting into cells, during ghost particle transfer, or during serialization of all particles).

Parameters
size_callbackA function that is called when serializing particle data. The function gets no arguments and is expected to return the size of the additional data that is serialized per particle. Note that this currently implies the data size has to be the same for every particle.
store_callbackA function that is called once per particle when serializing particle data. Arguments to the function are a particle iterator that identifies the current particle and a void pointer that points to a data block of size size_callback() in which the function can store additional data. The function is expected to return a void pointer pointing to a position right after its data block.
load_callbackA function that is called once per particle when deserializing particle data. Arguments to the function are a particle iterator that identifies the current particle and a void pointer that points to a data block of size size_callback() in which additional data was stored by the store_callback function. The function is expected to return a void pointer pointing to a position right after its data block.

)
private

Transfer particles that have crossed subdomain boundaries to other processors. All received particles and their new cells will be appended to the received_particles vector.

Parameters
[in]particles_to_sendAll particles that should be sent and their new subdomain_ids are in this map.
[in,out]received_particlesVector that stores all received particles. Note that it is not required nor checked that the list is empty, received particles are simply attached to the end of the vector.
[in]new_cells_for_particlesOptional vector of cell iterators with the same structure as particles_to_send. If this parameter is given it should contain the cell iterator for every particle to be send in which the particle belongs. This parameter is necessary if the cell information of the particle iterator is outdated (e.g. after particle movement).

private

A function that can be registered by calling register_additional_store_load_functions. It is called when serializing particle data. The function gets no arguments and is expected to return the size of the additional data that is serialized per particle. Note that this currently implies the data size has to be the same for every particle, but it does not have to be the same for every serialization process (e.g. a serialization during particle movement might include temporary data, while a serialization after movement was finished does not need to transfer this data).
