Detailed Description

MeshMedium is an abstract class for representing a transfer medium with a spatial density distribution that is discretized on some structured or unstructured tessellation of a cuboidal spatial domain. The class derives from the ImportedMedium class, and its main (or only) function is to allow the user to configure the extent of the cuboidal domain of the tessellation, and to indicate the type of mass quantity to be imported for each cell. Subclasses need to define the actual tessellation being used, and deal with the other requirements set by the ImportedMedium class.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ MassType

enum class MeshMedium::MassType : int
strong

The enumeration type indicating the type of mass quantity to be imported. The choices specifying two columns (either both mass density and mass or both number density and number) are intended for use in special cases where the volume of each imported entity cannot be easily derived otherwise. In the current implementation, this is used only by the VoronoiMeshMedium to avoid constructing a full Voronoi tessellation in certain cases.

MassDensity : "mass density".

Mass : "mass (volume-integrated)".

MassDensityAndMass : "both mass density and volume-integrated mass".

NumberDensity : "number density".

Number : "number (volume-integrated)".

NumberDensityAndNumber : "both number density and volume-integrated number".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MeshMedium()

MeshMedium::MeshMedium ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for abstract Item subclass MeshMedium: "a geometry imported from mesh-based data".

Member Function Documentation

◆ domain()

const Box & MeshMedium::domain ( ) const
inlineprotected

This function returns the tessellation domain configured for this geometry.

◆ massType()

MassType MeshMedium::massType ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable MassType enumeration property massType: "the type of mass quantity to be imported".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "MassDensity".

◆ maxX()

double MeshMedium::maxX ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxX: "the end point of the domain in the X direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ maxY()

double MeshMedium::maxY ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxY: "the end point of the domain in the Y direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ maxZ()

double MeshMedium::maxZ ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxZ: "the end point of the domain in the Z direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ minX()

double MeshMedium::minX ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minX: "the start point of the domain in the X direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ minY()

double MeshMedium::minY ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minY: "the start point of the domain in the Y direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ minZ()

double MeshMedium::minZ ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minZ: "the start point of the domain in the Z direction".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void MeshMedium::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function verifies that the configured domain has a positive volume.
