- setting initial distribution |
distribution at simulation time $t=0$ of $C_0(x,y,z)$. The steps required to use this capability |
| 74 |
|
are |
| 75 |
|
\begin{enumerate} |
| 76 |
|
\item{\bf Activating the ptracers package.} This simply requires adding the line {\tt ptracers} to |
| 77 |
|
the {\tt packages.conf} file in the {\it code/} directory for the experiment. |
| 78 |
|
\item{\bf Setting an initial tracer distribution.} |
| 79 |
|
\end{enumerate} |
| 80 |
|
|
| 81 |
|
Once the two steps above are complete we can proceed to examine how the tracer we have created is |
| 82 |
|
carried by the flow field and what properties of the tracer distribution are preserved under |
| 83 |
|
different advection schemes. |
