Moving simulation window
The finite difference models can be run using a moving simulation window that moves at the speed of light. Please note that simulation is done in the lab reference frame; it is the simulation box that moves and follows relevant phenomena moving at, or close to, this speed, such as laser pulses or relativistic particle beams.
Using a moving window requires calling the sim_set_moving_window()
routine:
void sim_set_moving_window( t_simulation* sim )
This routine should be called inside sim_init()
, somewhere after the call to sim_new()
, e.g.:
void sim_init( t_simulation* sim ){
// (...)
// Initialize Simulation data
sim_new( sim, nx, box, dt, tmax, ndump, species, n_species );
// (...)
// Set moving window (this must come after sim_new)
sim_set_moving_window( sim );
// (...)
}
Spectral models currently do not support this feature.
