Defining the domain

All simulations, whether using an embedded boundary (EB) or not, are specified on a simple cuboid domain. The low and high corners of the cuboid are defined by the prob_lo and prob_hi inputs.

The following inputs are defined using the geometry prefix.

Description

Type

Default

coord_sys

Coordinate system used in simulation. Only Cartesian coordinates (coord_sys = 0) are supported.

Int

0

is_periodic

1 for true, 0 for false (one value for each coordinate direction)

Int

0 0 0

prob_lo

Low corner of physical domain (physical not index space)

Reals

0 0 0

prob_hi

High corner of physical domain (physical not index space)

Reals

0 0 0

Attention

MFIX-Exa geometry restrictions:

  • There is no support for 1D or 2D simulation domains.

  • Cartesian is the only supported coordinate system.
