Is Swarm a good name for particle tracking? #107

Closed Niceno closed 5 years ago

Niceno commented 5 years ago

Dear guys,

Together with my student Mohamed Ally, I am implementing Lagrangian particle tracking method. As a part of it, we introduce a new module called Particles_Mod at this moment. This module introduces two new types: Particle_Type for a single particle, and Swarm_Type, for many particles together.

Is this name OK for everyone? Swarm is usually used for flying insects, swarm of bees, crickets, etc, but also for flying rodents, swarm of bats for instance. I saw swarm sand being used too, for example here: https://vimeo.com/88696709

It sounds cool to me, as long as OpenFOAM is not using it :).

OK, it is already called Swarm in the development_branch, so I take the freedom to close the issue.
