Inheritance diagram for Potential:
Task DustPotential

List of all members.

Public Member Functions

 Potential ()
 Default constructor.
virtual ~Potential ()
 Destructor.
virtual std::string GetClassName () const
 Returns the name of the class, here "potential".
virtual grid< double > * GetGrid ()
 Retruns a pointer to the Pot grid containing the potential.
virtual Position GetSpaceQuant () const
 Returns the grid spacing.
virtual double & operator[] (GridPosition i)
 Retruns the potential at a grid point.
virtual GridPosition GetNx () const
 Returns the grid size.
virtual void Init ()
 The Init method of a Task is called before the Task is executed. It should contain all the necessary initialization. The basic Init method calls the Init of all the sub-Tasks and sorts them according to their predecessor list. Also the Pointer to the Normalization object is retrieved from the Process. A derived class should always call the Task::Init in its own Init method.
- Public Member Functions inherited from Task
 Task ()
 Default constructor sets the running number nNr of the Task.
virtual ~Task ()
 When destructing a Task is has to be detatched from the parents Task list.
int GetStep () const
 Return the interval between execution in timesteps.
int GetEnd () const
 Return the timestep when the Task ends execution.
bool DoNow ()
 Returns true if the Task is to be executed now.
std::string GetName () const
 Returns the name given to the Task object.
virtual bool IsInteractive () const
 If not specified otherwise, a Task is not interactive.
void AttachTask (Task *pTask)
 Insert Task into Task list and registers it with the Process.
void DetachTask (Task *pTask)
 DetachTask from Task list.
virtual bool Execute ()
 Executes the Task. This is the place where the algorithm for executing a Task it placed. The return value specifies, if the task is finished and can be removed. The basic Execute method executes all its sub-Tasks. The derived classes should call this member function, whenever there are subtasks to be executed.
virtual std::string Rebuild (std::istream &in)
 Rebuilds the task from the setup. This normally does not need to be overwritten. Rebuild always returns the next token that does not belong to the object setup.
virtual void DumpTaskList (std::ostream &o, int nDepth=0)
 Recursively dumps the complete Task list into a stream.

Public Attributes

double potd [20]
 Surface potential of the dust particle(s), maximum possible number of dust particles: 20.

Protected Member Functions

virtual PARAMETERMAP * MakeParamMap (PARAMETERMAP *pm)
 Serialization.

void AddPredecessor (const std::string &strPred)
 Add the name of a predecessor that has to be executed before this Task.

Protected Attributes

int tstep
 Time step size for output of surface potential of the dust particle.

double dx
 Grid spacing in x direction.
double Rd

double cd
 Charge of the dust particle(s)
grid< double > Pot
 The grid containing the potential values.

 Pointer to the Geometry.
- Protected Attributes inherited from Task

 The name of the referenced Normalization object.
NormalizationNorm
 The pointer to the referenced Normalization object.
TASKLIST plTasks
 A list of sub-Tasks.
int nStart
int nEnd
int nStep

Detailed Description

A base class for potential classes.

Parameters:
geometryName of the reference Geometry
densityThe charge density from which to calculate the potential
n0Additional density (be careful with this parameter!!!)
diagnosticAllows the output of the potantial grid
OutstepTime step size for output of the surface potential of the dust particle, if no value is given, t=10 is set
