com1DFA.debrisFunctions.initializeTimeDepRelease

initializeTimeDepRelease(cfg, inputSimLines, particles, fields, dem, zPartArray0, t, atol=1e-05)[source]

Update particles with “new” particles initialised by a time dependent release.

Parameters

  • cfg (configparser) – configuration settings

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

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

  • fields (dict) – fields dictionary at timestep t

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

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

  • t (float) – timestep of iteration

  • atol (float) – look for matching time steps with atol tolerance - default is atol=1.e-5

Returns

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

  • fields (dict) – updated fields dictionary at t including the new released particles

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