quadgrid - a simple c++ library for particles in a cartesian quad grid

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

Contents

The repository consists of the following folders :

• 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
  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
• tutorial` provides a set of tutorials

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

  \[ U_p = \sum_i N_i(x_p) u_i \]
