Partcile Tracker (simple & serial)

Post by raback »

Hi

Recently there was a need to follow a small number of particles travelling through the computational mesh. Attached is a rudimentary version of the resulting particle tracker. The most obvious uses for it include tracing some particles for CFD visualization and following some charged particles in microfluidic problems many other uses could be considered as well. However, no particle-particle interaction may be yet considered.

This starts to be at the limit of desirable complexity for one solver. There is a chance that the work will continue on a parallel setting which will require significant changes to the solver. In the meantime I'm happy to recieve constructive suggestions how it could be improved.

Attached you will find the source code and a number of examples with a readme. The source file here will not be updated so it may be better to take a fresh version from the svn repository. The source file is located in /elmerfem/trunk/fem/src/ParticleTracker.src
