Detailed Description

BoundaryConstant : the concentration on the boundary is fixed by a constant bulk, the agents crossing this line die.

BoundaryConstant : the concentration on the boundary is fixed by a constant bulk, the agents crossing this line die. The boundary represents, for example, the connection to a larger system where the concentration can be considered constant. The solute concentrations at this boundary are fixed, and agents crossing this boundary are considered to have entered the planktonic bulk domain.

void simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryConstant.applyBoundary ( LocatedAgent  anAgent,
ContinuousVector  target 
)
virtual

Kills any agents that are crossing this boundary as they are leaving the simulated system.

Kills any agents that are crossing this boundary as they are leaving the simulated system

Parameters
anAgentThe LocatedAgent that has crossed the boundary
targetVector of where this agent was going to be placed

Implements simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.AllBC.

void simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryConstant.init ( Simulator  aSim,
Domain  aDomain,
XMLParser  aBoundCondMarkUp 
)
virtual

Initialises the boundary from information contained in the simulation protocol file, and loads the description of the connected bulk.

Initialises the boundary from information contained in the simulation protocol file, and loads the description of the connected bulk

Parameters
aSimThe simulation object used to simulate the conditions specified in the protocol file
aDomainThe domain which this boundary condition is associated with
aBoundCondMarkUpThe XML tags that have declared this boundary in the protocol file

Implements simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.AllBC.

ContinuousVector simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryConstant.lookAt ( ContinuousVector  cc)
virtual

Method used by another which gets the indexed grid position of a continuous vector. Some boundary conditions need the input corrected, some don't and just return the input.

Method used by another which gets the indexed grid position of a continuous vector. Some boundary conditions (e.g. BoundaryCyclic_ need the input corrected due to the condition, some don't and just return the input. Maybe we'll change this at some point as to just return the input looks a bit daft - but we'll leave it here for the moment

Parameters
ccContinuousVector that gives the current location of an agent to check on the grid

Implements simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.AllBC.

void simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryConstant.refreshBoundary ( SoluteGrid  aSoluteGrid)
virtual

Solver for the constant concentration boundary condition. Initialises the course along the shape of the boundary, setting the values of solute near the boundary as required.

Solver for the variable concentration boundary condition. Initialises the course along the shape of the boundary, , setting the values of solute near the boundary as required

Parameters

Implements simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.AllBC.

void simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryConstant.setBoundary ( LocatedGroup  aGroup)
virtual

Change the status of a specified LocatedGroup to note that it has been identified as being outside this boundary

Parameters
aGroupLocatedGroup object which has been detected to be outside the boundary
