Detailed Description

This class can use semi-implicit formulations for the transport.

[in] a_physics Reference to the plasma physics implementation.

Member Function Documentation

◆ advance()

Real CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advance ( const Real a_dt )

overridevirtual

Implementation of the advance method.

This will switch between the various available implementations.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step to try

Returns: Returns a_dt (no adjustable time step for this class)

Implements Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ advanceCdrReactions()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advanceCdrReactions ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Advance the reactive problem over a time step dt.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step

Note: Only does the CDR solvers.

◆ advanceRadiativeTransfer()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advanceRadiativeTransfer ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Advance the radiative transfer problem.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step

Note: This should be called after advanceReactions because that routine sets up the source terms

◆ advanceTransport()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advanceTransport ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Advance the transport problem.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step.

Note: This will switch between transport algorithms and call the other methods.

◆ advanceTransportExplicitField()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advanceTransportExplicitField ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Advance the transport problem using the explicit or explicit-implicit Euler rule.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step.

◆ advanceTransportSemiImplicit()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::advanceTransportSemiImplicit ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Advance the transport problem using a semi-implicit formulation for the electric field.

Under the hood, this is still an Euler solve.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step.

◆ allocateInternals()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::allocateInternals ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Allocate internal storage.

This will set up extra memory needed in the semi-implicit coupling.

Implements Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ allocateScratch()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::allocateScratch ( )

protected

Allocate internal storage.

Set up some scratch storage needed in the time advancement algorithms.

◆ computeCdrDiffusionCoefficients()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeCdrDiffusionCoefficients ( const Real a_time )

protected

Compute CDR diffusion coefficients.

This is just like the parent method, except that we use the electric field stored in the scratch storage.

Parameters

[in] a_time Time step

◆ computeCdrDomainFluxes()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeCdrDomainFluxes ( )

protected

Compute the CDR boundary condition fluxes on the domain faces.

Prior to calling this routine, one must extrapolated the CDR states to the domain faces (calling extrapolateCdrToDomain)

◆ computeCdrDriftVelocities()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeCdrDriftVelocities ( const Real a_time )

protected

Compute CDR drift velocities.

This is just like the parent method, except that we use the electric field stored in the scratch storage.

Parameters

[in] a_time Time step

◆ computeCdrFluxesEB()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeCdrFluxesEB ( )

protected

Compute the CDR boundary condition fluxes on the EBs.

Prior to calling this routine, one must extrapolated the CDR states to the EB (calling extrapolateCdrToEB)

◆ computeElectricFieldIntoScratch()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeElectricFieldIntoScratch ( )

protected

Compute electric field into scratch storage.

This computes the electric field into the scratch storages in m_fieldScratch

◆ computeSourceTerms()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::computeSourceTerms ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Compute source terms for the CDR and RTE equations.

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step

◆ deallocateScratch()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::deallocateScratch ( )

protected

Set up some scratch storage needed in the algorithms

◆ extrapolateWithSourceTerm()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::extrapolateWithSourceTerm ( const Real a_dt )

protected

Extrapolate cell-centered states with the source term.

This will compute cell-centered states (in the scratch storage) as n = n(t) + 0.5*a_dt * S(t)

Parameters

[in] a_dt Time step size.

◆ floorMass()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::floorMass	(	EBAMRCellData &	a_data,
		const std::string	a_message,
		const RefCountedPtr< CdrSolver > &	a_solver
	)		const

protected

Print how much mass was injected into the system.

Occasionally, mass injection can be necessary due to negative densities arising the reactive problem, or due to redistribution near the embedded boundaries (which does not preserve non-negativeness).

Parameters

[in]	a_message	Base message
[in]	a_solver	Which CDR solver to compute the mass for.

◆ getCdrStorage()

RefCountedPtr< CdrStorage > & CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::getCdrStorage ( const CdrIterator< CdrSolver > & a_solverIt )

protected

Function for getting the transient storage assocaited with a particular CDR solver.

Parameters

[in] a_solverIt Solver iterator

Returns: This returns the entry in m_cdrScratch corresponding to the solver.

◆ getRtStorage()

RefCountedPtr< RtStorage > & CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::getRtStorage ( const RtIterator< RtSolver > & a_solverIt )

protected

Function for getting the transient storage assocaited with a particular RTE solver.

Parameters

[in] a_solverIt Solver iterator

Returns: This returns the entry in m_rteScratch corresponding to the solver.

◆ postCheckpointSetup()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::postCheckpointSetup ( )

overridevirtual

Run post-checkpoint setup operations.

The override is only relevant for the semi-implicit scheme because the field needs to be computed from a different equation. Fortunately, we've stored the necessary quantities (conductivity and space charge) to HDF5 so we can just set up a standard semi-implicit Poisson solve here.

Reimplemented from Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ postRegrid()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::postRegrid ( )

overridevirtual

Perform post-regrid operations.

This releases transient memory needed during the regrid.

Reimplemented from Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ preRegrid()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::preRegrid	(	const int	a_lbase,
		const int	a_oldFinestLevel
	)

overridevirtual

Pre-regrid method. Used for storing important variables for the solvers.

This is overriden because the semi-implicit scheme requires us to store some extra variables on the old grids.

Parameters

[in]	a_lmin	The coarsest level that changes
[in]	a_oldFinestLevel	The finest level before the regrid.

Reimplemented from Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ regrid()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::regrid	(	const int	a_lmin,
		const int	a_oldFinestLevel,
		const int	a_newFinestLevel
	)

overridevirtual

Regrid method.

This overrides the parent class regrid method when using a semi-implicit scheme.

Parameters

[in]	a_lmin	The coarsest level that changed.
[in]	a_oldFinestLevel	The finest level before the regrid.
[in]	a_newFinestLevel	The finest level after the regrid.

Reimplemented from Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ regridInternals()

void CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::regridInternals	(	const int	a_lmin,
		const int	a_oldFinestLevel,
		const int	a_newFinestLevel
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

For regridding internal storage. Does nothing.

Parameters

[in]	a_lmin	The coarsest level that changed.
[in]	a_oldFinestLevel	The finest level before the regrid.
[in]	a_newFinestLevel	The finest level after the regrid.

Implements Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaStepper.

◆ solveSemiImplicitPoisson()

bool CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::solveSemiImplicitPoisson ( )

protected

Solve the semi-implicit Poisson equation.

Note: This is just like the parent method for solving it, except that we use m_semiImplicitRho for the space charge density. Note that the user should first have set up the semi-implicit Poisson equation by computing the conductivities and calling CdrPlasmasetupSemiImplicitPoisson.

Member Data Documentation

◆ m_semiImplicitRho

EBAMRCellData Physics::CdrPlasma::CdrPlasmaGodunovStepper::m_semiImplicitRho

protected

Use for holding the "space charge" when doing semi-implicit solves.

This is different from the actual space charge because it also includes a diffusive contribution
