Detailed Description

template<int dim, typename number, typename ObstacleType>
struct MeltPoolDG::ObstacleGravitationalForce< dim, number, ObstacleType >

Computes the gravitational force acting on an obstacle.

Note

The obstacle type must define a static method get_property(...) and an enum member Properties::mass for retrieving the mass of the obstacle.

template<int dim, typename number , typename ObstacleType >

MeltPoolDG::ObstacleGravitationalForce< dim, number, ObstacleType >::ObstacleGravitationalForce ( const number  gravitational_constant )

inlineexplicit

Constructs the gravitational force object with a given gravitational constant.

Parameters

gravitational_constant

The gravitational constant to use in force computation.

template<int dim, typename number , typename ObstacleType >

void MeltPoolDG::ObstacleGravitationalForce< dim, number, ObstacleType >::add_load_to_obstacles ( ObstacleField< dim, number, ObstacleType > &  obstacle_field ) const

inline

Computes the gravitational force acting on all obstacles in the given obstacle field and adds the force contribution to the corresponding obstacle force property.

The force is computed as: [ F = -g * m ] where is the gravitational constant and is the mass of the obstacle. The force is applied in the negative direction of the last axis.

Parameters

obstacle_field

The obstacle field containing all particles on which the gravitational forces are to be computed.
