How to adjust particle death time #70

Open sjlama opened 1 year ago

sjlama commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Does the Mercator2D simulation have a PLD feature that can adjust when larvae die? I apologize if I am missing something simple, I am trying to run the Mercator2D simulation and have particles die at 3 weeks and I can't seem to find where I can adjust this in the xml file.

Thanks!

Hi @sjlama

You can define that in the Time section of the configuration file. You set Duration time equals to the PLD you want. And you set the hidden parameter Particle keep drifting to False.

Greetings

I have a question about particle death:I want to run for a month and have scheduled releases, one on the first day of the month and the other on the sixth day, and I want the particles to die five days after the release. Is this possible?

Kind Regards

Hi @ymamoutos

I don't think it is possible to kill the particles after some time. Maybe you can just set the transport duration to 5 days.

Hi @barriern Many thanks for your response. I have one more question about ichthyop's parallelization but first i'll search the issues and then if i don't find an answer i'll post a new question.

Kind Regards

Giannis
