	)		const

virtualnoexcept

Write multifluid data to single-fluid data holders.

This takes the valid data from each phase and writes it to a_output. On cut-cells, the a_phase flag determines which phase will be plotted.

Parameters

[in,out]	a_output	Output data holder
[in,out]	a_comp	Current component in a_output.
[in]	a_data	Multifluid data holder
[in]	a_phase	Main phase in cut-cells.
[in]	a_outputRealm	Realm where a_output belongs
[in]	a_level	Grid level
[in]	a_interp	Special flag which, if true, tells AmrMesh to interpolate the data to centroids (in irregular cells).

◆ writePlotData()

void FieldSolver::writePlotData	(	LevelData< EBCellFAB > &	a_output,
		int &	a_comp,
		const std::string	a_outputRealm,
		const int	a_level,
		const bool	a_forceNoInterp = `false`
	)		const

virtualnoexcept

Write output data to a_output.

Parameters

[in,out]	a_output	Output data holder
[in,out]	a_comp	Current component in a_output.
[in]	a_outputRealm	Realm where a_output belongs
[in]	a_level	Grid level
[in]	a_forceNoInterp	Forces data to be written using native centering

Returns: On output, the solver will have written its plot variables to a_output and increment a_comp by the number of plotted variables.

◆ writePlotFile()

void FieldSolver::writePlotFile ( )

virtual

Write plot file.

This writes a plot file named FieldSolver.stepXXXXXXX.2d.hdf5 using the specified plot variables.

◆ writeSurfaceData()

void FieldSolver::writeSurfaceData	(	LevelData< EBCellFAB > &	a_output,
		int &	a_comp,
		const LevelData< BaseIVFAB< Real > > &	a_data,
		const std::string	a_outputRealm,
		const int	a_level
	)		const

virtualnoexcept

Write surface data to volume data holder.

This takes the valid data from a_data and puts in onto a_output.

Parameters

[in,out]	a_output	Output data holder
[in,out]	a_comp	Current component in a_output.
[in]	a_data	Surface data.
[in]	a_outputRealm	Realm where a_output belongs
[in]	a_level	Grid level
