This library provides simple (template) classes that for a useful starting point for the implementation of MPM/PIC methods

include contains headers (.h) and template method definition files (`_imp.h
) the main files included are
quadgrid_cpp.h including the declaration of the (template) class quadgrid_t
representing the quad grid
quadgrid_cpp_imp.h contains *out-of-line* definitions for template methods of the quadgrid_t
class \ilinebr<br>
particles.h declares the particles_t clares representing particles embedded in a quadgrid_t grid
src contains implementation of methods in the above classes that do not depend on template parameters
test provides a few tests and examples
octave
provides a draft of an interface for accessing quadgrid objects from within the [GNU Octave](http://www.octave.org) interpreter, which consists of
quadgrid.h defining the quadgrid class inheriting from octave_base_value
quadgrid.cc defines two Octave functions quadgrid and quadgrid_loop`accessible from the interpreter

Building the examples

To build the examples move to the test directory and run

mpicxx -std=c++17 -I../include -o particle_sort_example particle_sort_example.cpp ../src/particles.cpp

Main methods in the particles_t class

particles_t::p2g implements transfer of quantities from the particles to the grid according to the formula

$u_i = \sum_p N_i(x_p) U_p$
particles_t::g2p implements transfer of quantities from the particles to the grid according to the formula

$U_p = \sum_i N_i(x_p) u_i$
