|                        |   periodic or completely closed with no inflow / outflow boundaries.       |          |                     |

.. note::
   The thermodynamic pressure is a scalar value, not a scalar field. This is a consequence of
   the low Mach number assumption.

Additional available constraints
--------------------------------

Additional constraints may be imposed on problems which are under-determined such as particle settling
in a fully periodic domain. Currently, only particle constraints are supported.

The following inputs are defined using the prefix ``particles``:

+---------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+
|                     | Description                                                               |   Type      | Default   |

|                     | Options:                                                                  |             |           |

|                     | * ``mean_velocity``                                                       |             |           |
|                     |                                                                           |             |           |
+---------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+

For the `mean_velocity` constraint, the following inputs can be defined.

+------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+
|                        | Description                                                            |   Type      | Default   |
+========================+========================================================================+=============+===========+
| mean_velocity_x        | mean particle velocity in dir=0                                        | Real        | Undefined |
+------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+
| mean_velocity_y        | mean particle velocity in dir=1                                        | Real        | Undefined |
+------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+
| mean_velocity_z        | mean particle velocity in dir=2                                        | Real        | Undefined |
+------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+-----------+

Below is an example for zero mean particle velocity in all three directions.

.. code-block:: none

   particles.constraint = "mean_velocity"

   particles.constraint.mean_velocity_x = 0.
   particles.constraint.mean_velocity_y = 0.
   particles.constraint.mean_velocity_z = 0.

In the above example, at the end of each (fluid) time step, the global mean particle velocity is computed
in each direction, then subtracted from each particle's velocity vector so that the mean particle velocity
for the system is zero.

.. _deposition_description:

In the following subsections, the four deposition methods are briefly
described and illustrated.

Centroid
~~~~~~~~

The centroid deposition scheme transfers particle properties, for example
volume, to the Eulerian grid cell containing its center. Illustrated in
two-dimensions below, the particle center is in the upper-right cell; therefore,
the deposition weight for that cell is 1 and all other weights are zero.

.. _fig_centroid_deposition:

.. figure:: ./images/centroid.jpg
   :height: 2in
   :align: center
   :alt: visual demonstration of centroid deposition

   Example of centroid deposition.


Trilinear
~~~~~~~~~

Trilinear deposition transfers particle properties to the eight Eulerian grid
cells surrounding its center. First, low and high weights are calculated for each
direction, then they are multiplied together to form eight composite weights.
The following figure illustrates bilinear interpolation. The left image
shows weights computed in the *X*-direction, :math:`[0.15, 0.85]`, and the center
image shows weights computed in the *Y*-direction, :math:`[0.25,0.75]`. The right
image shows the composite weights for the four cells that comprise the 2D
neighborhood surrounding the particle.

   Example of trilinear deposition.


True-DPVM
~~~~~~~~~

The "*true*" divided particle volume method (DPVM) calculates the actual volume
of a particle in each cell by computing the intersection between the grid cell
faces and the particle. The fractional volume (volume inside the cell
divided by total particle volume) is used as the deposition weight. If the
``deposition_scale_factor`` is defined, it multiplies the particle radius
increasing the effective area to transfer properties over.  The true-DPVM scheme is
illustrated below where the dashed line represents the scaled particle radius.
The *grown* particle intersects the top two and lower-right cells. Since the *grown*
particle does not intersect the lower-left cell, it has a deposition weight of zero.

.. figure:: ./images/dpvm.jpg
   :height: 2in
   :align: center
   :alt: visual demonstration of true divided particle volume deposition

   Example of true-dpvm deposition.



Trilinear DPVM square
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The trilinear DPVM square method is similar to the trilinear scheme in that
low and high weights are computed for each direction, then multiplied together
to give a composite weight for each of the eight cells in the neighborhood.
The primary distinction is that the fractional volume cut by the grid cell
face for each direction is used to calculate the low and high weights. If the
``deposition_scale_factor`` is defined, it multiplies the particle radius
increasing the effective area to transfer properties over. In the below figure,
the left image shows the *X*-direction weights, and the center image shows
the *Y*-direction weights. The right image shows the resulting composite weights.

  The ``UserDrag`` keyword is used to invoke a user-defined drag model. This is accomplished
  by copying ``src/usr/usr_drag.cpp`` file into the build directory, implementing the desired
  drag model, and recompiling the code.  An example can be found in ``tests/DEM06-x``.
