Detailed Description

A wrapper for an FArrayBox to contain NODE-centered data.

This is a class to contain NODE-centered data on a box. \ Question: Why not just use NODE-centered FArrayBox? \ Answer: We want to use LevelData<NodeFArrayBox>, which requires that the underlying BoxLayout be a DisjointBoxLayout. Adjacent NODE-centered boxes intersect, but adjacent CELL-centered boxes do not. \ The underlying DisjointBoxLayout will be CELL-centered.

In a LevelData<NodeFArrayBox>, some of the grids may share nodes. The data on shared nodes must be the same. \ Example: A four-grid layout is shown on the left. As shown on the right, the nodes marked "2" are shared by two grids, and those marked "3" are shared by three grids.

+-----+ +-----+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +---+--+--+---+ +---2223222---+ | | | | 2 | | | | | 2 | | | | | 2 | +---+------+------+ +---22222223------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +----------+ +----------+

One of the most useful features of LevelData<NodeFArrayBox> is the copyTo() function. THE copyTo() FUNCTION MUST BE USED WITH CAUTION if the source and destination have different layouts.

Consider an example where A and B are on layouts of one box each, and these two boxes abut:

+-------+ | | | A | | | ========= | | | B | | | +-------+

If we do A.copyTo(B), then the data on the nodes of the interface (marked with "=") are NOT copied, because the underlying CELL-centered DisjointBoxLayouts of the LevelDatas do not intersect.

So whenever we want to use src.copyTo(dest), unless we are sure that src and dest have the same layout, we do the following: \


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NodeFArrayBox::NodeFArrayBox  
 

{\bf constructors, destructor and defines}

Default constructor. User must subsequently call define().

NodeFArrayBox::NodeFArrayBox const Box &    a_bx,
int    a_nComp = 1
 

Constructs NodeFArrayBox on CELL-centered box a_bx with a_nComp components. Data space is allocated but not initialized.

NodeFArrayBox::~NodeFArrayBox  
 

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

const Box& NodeFArrayBox::box   const
 

{\bf access functions}

Returns the CELL-centered domain where the array is defined.

void NodeFArrayBox::copy const Box &    a_regionFrom,
const Interval &    a_Cdest,
const Box &    a_regionTo,
const NodeFArrayBox &    a_src,
const Interval &    a_Csrc
 

Modifies the data in this NodeFArrayBox by copying the data from a_src into it, over the intersection of: \

  • the nodes surrounding the CELL-centered box a_regionFrom; \
  • the nodes surrounding the CELL-centered box a_regionTo; \
  • the nodes containing data in this NodeFArrayBox; \
  • the nodes containing data in a_src.
The components in the interval a_Csrc in a_src are copied to the components in the interval a_Cdest in this NodeFArrayBox.

This function is required in order to have BoxLayoutData<NodeFArrayBox>.

void NodeFArrayBox::copy const NodeFArrayBox &    a_src
 

{\bf data modification functions}

Modifies the data in this NodeFArrayBox by copying data from a_src into it, over the nodes that they have in common. \ If this NodeFArrayBox and a_src have abutting grids, then

+--------+ | | | this | | | ========== <- data copied here from a_src to this | | | a_src | | | +--------+

the data in this NodeFArrayBox WILL be modified along the edge nodes where they abut -- even though this.box() and a_src.box(), being CELL-centered, do NOT intersect.

All components are copied.

void NodeFArrayBox::define const Box &    a_bx,
int    a_nComp = 1
 

Defines NodeFArrayBox on CELL-centered box a_bx with a_nComp components.

const FArrayBox& NodeFArrayBox::getFab   const
 

Returns a constant reference to the NODE-centered FArrayBox containing the data.

FArrayBox& NodeFArrayBox::getFab  
 

Returns a modifiable reference to the NODE-centered FArrayBox containing the data.

void NodeFArrayBox::linearIn void *    a_buf,
const Box &    a_R,
const Interval &    a_comps
 

void NodeFArrayBox::linearIn void *    a_buf
 

void NodeFArrayBox::linearOut void *    a_buf,
const Box &    a_R,
const Interval &    a_comps
const
 

Writes into a_buf a linear representation of the internal data for the nodes surrounding CELL-centered box a_R, over the component Interval a_comps. \ Assumes that sufficient memory for the buffer has already been allocated by the caller \

This function is required in order to have BoxLayoutData<NodeFArrayBox>.

Real NodeFArrayBox::maxnorm const BaseFab< int > &    a_mask,
const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1

Real NodeFArrayBox::maxnorm const Real    a_dx,
const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1
const
 

Returns the maximum norm of the data. Calls REACHABLENODES.

Real NodeFArrayBox::maxnorm const BaseFab< int > &    a_mask,
const Box &    a_subbox,
const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1
const
 

Returns the maximum norm of the data.

const BaseFab< int > &    a_mask,
const int    a_p = 2,
const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1

Returns the L^p norm of the data.

const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1

const int    a_startComp = 0,
const int    a_numComp = 1
const
 

Returns the L^p norm of the data.

const int    a_numComp = 1
const
 

Returns the L^p norm of the data. Calls REACHABLENODES.

bool NodeFArrayBox::preAllocatable   [inline, static]
 

int NodeFArrayBox::size const Box &    a_R,

const
 

Returns size, in number of bytes, of a flat linear representation of the data in this object in the area defined by the nodes in CELL-centered box a_R and the component Interval a_comps.
