Velocity space

In kinetic methods, variables are also discretized in velocity space. Information in velocity space are separately stored in AbstractPsData, and are organized as following.

KitAMR.VsData — Type
mutable struct VsData{DIM, NDF} <: AbstractVsData{DIM, NDF}

  • vs_num::Int64: Number of velocity cells.

  • level::Vector{Int8}: Refinement level of velocity cells.

  • weight::Vector{Float64}: Quadrature weight of velocity cells.

  • midpoint::Matrix{Float64}: Coordinates of centers of velocity cells in velocity space.

  • df::Matrix{Float64}: Discretized distribution function.

  • sdf::Array{Float64, 3}: Spatial gradients (df/dx) of distribution function.

  • flux::Matrix{Float64}: Numerical flux of distribution function.

  • midpoint::Matrix{Float64}

  • df::Matrix{Float64}

KitAMR.FaceVsData — Type
struct FaceVsData{DIM, NDF}

KitAMR.CuttedVelocityCells — Type
mutable struct CuttedVelocityCells

Structure for cut cell in velocity space used in immersed boundaries.

  • indices::Vector{Int64}: Indices of cut cells in SolidNeighbor's VsData.
