PICLas is a parallel, three-dimensional PIC-DSMC solver developed cooperatively by the Institute of Space Systems, Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics at the University of Stuttgart and the spin-off boltzplatz. PICLas is a flexible particle-based plasma simulation suite.
Hello,
I am trying to use the Fokker-Planck model in Piclas for the hypersonic 2D cone example. I've tried to change the switches in the parameter.ini file as follows:
Particles-FP-DoVibRelaxation = T
Particles-FP-UseQuantVibEn = T
! Octree
Particles-FP-DoCellAdaptation = T
Particles-FP-MinPartsPerCell = 10
and compiled the code with timediscmethod = fp-flow but I get an error in recognizing the commands. I sat UseDSMC = F. I was wondering if I need to change/add/omit additional switches in the file to get it to work properly or if there's a sample parameter.ini for other models I can used as guidance. I am new to using Piclas and would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
