Protected Attributes

class ParallelTransformIdentity : public ParallelTransform ¶

#include <paralleltransform.hxx>

This class implements the simplest form of ParallelTransform where the domain is a logically rectangular domain, and yup() and ydown() refer to the same field.

Public Functions

ParallelTransformIdentity(Mesh &mesh_in)¶

void calcParallelSlices(Field3D &f)¶: Merges the yup and ydown() fields of f, so that f.yup() = f.ydown() = f

const Field3D toFieldAligned(const Field3D &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶: The field is already aligned in Y, so this does nothing

const FieldPerp toFieldAligned(const FieldPerp &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶

const Field3D fromFieldAligned(const Field3D &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶: The field is already aligned in Y, so this does nothing

Protected Functions

void checkInputGrid()¶: This method should be called in the constructor to check that if the grid has a ‘parallel_transform’ variable, it has the correct value

class ShiftedMetric : public ParallelTransform ¶

#include <paralleltransform.hxx>

Shifted metric method Each Y location is shifted in Z with respect to its neighbours so that the grid is orthogonal in X-Z, but requires interpolation to calculate the values of points along field-lines.

In this implementation the interpolation is done using FFTs in Z

Public Functions

ShiftedMetric()¶

ShiftedMetric(Mesh &mesh, CELL_LOC location, Field2D zShift, BoutReal zlength_in)¶

void calcParallelSlices(Field3D &f)¶: Calculates the yup() and ydown() fields of f by taking FFTs in Z and applying a phase shift.

const Field3D toFieldAligned(const Field3D &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶

Uses FFTs and a phase shift to align the grid points with the y coordinate (along magnetic field usually).

Note that the returned field will no longer be orthogonal in X-Z, and the metric tensor will need to be changed if X derivatives are used.

Shift the field so that X-Z is not orthogonal, and Y is then field aligned.

const FieldPerp toFieldAligned(const FieldPerp &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶

const Field3D fromFieldAligned(const Field3D &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶

Converts a field back to X-Z orthogonal coordinates from field aligned coordinates.

Shift back, so that X-Z is orthogonal, but Y is not field aligned.

const FieldPerp fromFieldAligned(const FieldPerp &f, const std::string &region = "RGN_ALL")¶

bool canToFromFieldAligned()¶

void outputVars(Datafile &file)¶: Save zShift to the output.

bool requiresTwistShift(bool twist_shift_enabled, YDirectionType ytype)¶: If twist_shift_enabled is true, does a Field3D with Y direction ytype require a twist-shift at branch cuts on closed field lines?
