Detailed Description

Particle base class

A parent class for common (non-templated) parts of Particle classes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ParticleBase()

ParticleBase::ParticleBase ( std::istream &  s )

inlineprotected

Constructor for loading particle from a file.

Member Function Documentation

get_status()

particle_status_e ParticleBase::get_status ( )

inline

Return particle status.

IQ()

double ParticleBase::IQ ( ) const

inline

Return current or charge carried by trajectory or particle cloud [A/C].

With MODE_2D, this in A/m or C/m.

m()

double ParticleBase::m ( void  ) const

inline

Return particle mass (m) [kg].

q()

double ParticleBase::q ( ) const

inline

Return particle charge (q) [C].

qm()

double ParticleBase::qm ( ) const

inline

Return charge per mass ratio (q/m) [C/kg].

save()

void ParticleBase::save ( std::ostream &  s ) const

inline

Saves data to stream.

set_status()

void ParticleBase::set_status ( particle_status_e  status )

inline

Set particle status.

Member Data Documentation

_IQ

double ParticleBase::_IQ

protected

Current or charge of particle.

The sign is forced to be same as the sign of q/m.

In time-dependent simulations particles are localized and IQ is charge, in time-independent simulation IQ is current. In case of 2D simulations this is in units A/m or C/m. In 3D and cylindrically symmetric simulations unit is A or C.

_m

double ParticleBase::_m

protected

Mass m [kg].

_q

double ParticleBase::_q

protected

Charge q [C].

_status

particle_status_e ParticleBase::_status

protected

Status of particle.
