com1DFA.debrisFunctions.addReleaseParticles

addReleaseParticles(cfg, particles, inputSimLines, thickness, velocityMag, dem, zPartArray0)[source]

add new particles initialized by a time dependent release to particles that are in the flow already

Parameters

  • cfg (configparser object) – configuration settings

  • particles (dict) – particles dictionary at t that are in the flow already

  • inputSimLines (dict) – dictionary with input data dictionaries (releaseLine,…)

  • thickness (float) – thickness of current release

  • velocityMag (float) – velocity of current release

  • dem (dict) – dictionary with info on DEM data

  • zPartArray0 (numpy array) – z - value of particles at timestep 0

Returns

  • particles (dict) – particles dictionary at t including the current released particles

  • zPartArray0 (dict) – dictionary containing z - value of particles at timestep 0
