Detailed Description

A ParticleMedium instance represents a transfer medium with a spatial density distribution (and, optionally, other properties) described by a list of smoothed particles. The particle data is usually extracted from a cosmological simulation snapshot, and it must be provided in a column text file formatted as described below.

Refer to the description of the TextInFile class for information on overall formatting and on how to include header lines specifying the units for each column in the input file. In case the input file has no unit specifications, the default units mentioned below are used instead. The number of columns expected in the input file depends on the options configured by the user for this ParticleMedium instance:

\[ x\,(\mathrm{pc}) \quad y\,(\mathrm{pc}) \quad z\,(\mathrm{pc}) \quad h\,(\mathrm{pc}) \quad \{\, M\,(\mathrm{M}_\odot) \;\;|\;\; N\,(1) \,\} \quad [Z\,(1)] \quad [T\,(\mathrm{K})] \quad [ v_x\,(\mathrm{km/s}) \quad v_y\,(\mathrm{km/s}) \quad v_z\,(\mathrm{km/s}) ] \quad [ B_x\,(\mu\mathrm{G}) \quad B_y\,(\mu\mathrm{G}) \quad B_z\,(\mu\mathrm{G}) ] \quad [ \dots\text{mix family params}\dots ] \]

The first three columns are the \(x\), \(y\) and \(z\) coordinates of the particle, the fourth column is the particle smoothing length \(h\).

The fifth column is the volume-integrated mass \(M\) or number \(N\) of the particle, depending on the value of the massType option. This mass or number is multiplied by the value of the massFraction option. If the importMetallicity option is enabled, the next column specifies a "metallicity" fraction, which is multiplied with the mass or number column to obtain the actual mass of the particle. If the importTemperature option is enabled, the next column specifies a temperature. If this temperature is higher than the value of the maxTemperature option, the particle is ignored. If the importTemperature option is disabled, or the maximum temperature value is set to zero, the particle is never ignored.

If both the importMetallicity and importTemperature options are enabled, this leads to the following expression for the mass of an imported particle:

\[ M_\mathrm{imported} = \begin{cases} f_\mathrm{mass}\,Z\,M & \mathrm{if}\; T<T_\mathrm{max} \;\mathrm{or}\; T_\mathrm{max}=0 \\ 0 & \mathrm{otherwise} \end{cases} \]

If the importVelocity option is enabled, the subsequent three columns specify the \(v_x\), \(v_y\), \(v_z\) velocity components of the particle (considered as the bulk velocity for the mass represented by the particle).

If the importMagneticField option is enabled, the subsequent three columns specify the \(B_x\), \(B_y\), \(B_z\) magnetic field vector components for the cell.

Finally, if the importVariableMixParams option is enabled, the remaining columns specify the parameters used by the configured material mix family to select a particular material mix for the particle.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ MassType

enum class ParticleMedium::MassType : int
strong

The enumeration type indicating the type of mass quantity to be imported.

Mass : "mass (volume-integrated)" .

Number : "number (volume-integrated)" .

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ParticleMedium()

ParticleMedium::ParticleMedium ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass ParticleMedium : "a transfer medium imported from smoothed particle data" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ createAndOpenSnapshot()

Snapshot * ParticleMedium::createAndOpenSnapshot ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function constructs a new ParticleSnapshot object, calls its open() function, configures it to import a mass column, passes the smoothing kernel selected by the user to it, and finally returns a pointer to the object. Ownership of the Snapshot object is transferred to the caller.

Implements ImportedMedium.

◆ massType()

ParticleMedium::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 "Mass" .

◆ smoothingKernel()

ParticleMedium::smoothingKernel ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable item property smoothingKernel : "the kernel for interpolating the smoothed particles" .

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

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.
