Kiva cell/vertex connectivity arrays. c +++ kiva-3 notation: i4 refers both to vertex #4 and the cell shown: c +++ c +++ c +++ 7/--------/|6 c +++ / / | c +++ / | / | c +++ / / | c +++ 8/--------/5 | c +++ | | | | c +++ | | | c +++ | 3|- -| - |2 c +++ | / | / c +++ | | / c +++ | / | / c +++ | |/ c +++ 4----------1 c +++ top=i8tab(i4) c +++ | c +++ | derriere=i3tab(i4) c +++ | / c +++ | / c +++ |/ c +++ left=imtab(i4)-------------right=i1tab(i4) c +++ /| c +++ / | c +++ / | c +++ front=jmtab(i4) | c +++ | c +++ bottom=kmtab(i4) c c ====================================================================== cell 'i4' is connected to vertex 'i4'. To get the points of cell 'i' is thus done in the following way: i i1tab(i) i3tab(i1tab(i)) i3tab(i) i8tab(i) i1tab(i8tab(i)) i3tab(i1tab(i8tab(i))) i3tab(i8tab(i)) Only three of the faces have boundary condition. They are stored in the following arrays bcl - boundary condition left face bcf - boundary condition front face bcb - boundary condition bottom face To get the other boundary conditions, you must get the neighbouring cells and obtain the bc from them. The bc values are: 1.0 - moving - moving (piston top) 2.0 - solid - solid (wall) 3.0 - axis - center axis, line 4.0 - fluid - fluid (i.e. no bc) 5.0 - periodf - front periodic bc 6.0 - periodd - back periodic bc 7.0 - inflow - inflow 8.0 - outflow - outflow 9.0 - presin - pressure inflow 10.0 - presout - pressure outflow c ====================================================================== fv - flag for vertices The values are: 0.0 - inactive vertex 1.0 - flfluid - interior (fluid) vertex 2.0 - flface - vertex on a moving surface (piston/valve) 3.0 - flbowl - vertex within the piston bowl 4.0 - flsqsh - vertex in squish region and above piston 5.0 - fldome - vertex within head, but not on the surface itself 6.0 - flhead - vertex on the head surface c ====================================================================== f - flag for cells The values are: 0.0 - inactive (ghost) cell 1.0 - active cell c ====================================================================== idface - vertex flag for moving surface The values are: -1 - Not on a moving surface 0 - Piston top 1..6 - Valve nr. c ====================================================================== idreg - cell region number. c ====================================================================== The first non-ghost cell will be '
