Problem-Specific Inputs

Inputs with the prob. prefix are not global ERF options. Each one is read by the problem setup that the executable was built with, so the same name means different things in different problems – prob.T_0 is an initial temperature in one setup and a reference temperature in another, and prob.x_c is a bubble centre in one and a scalar-blob centre in another. A prob. input that a given problem does not read is silently ignored.

For that reason this page is an index rather than a reference: it lists, for each problem setup in Source/Prob, the prob. inputs that setup reads. The meaning, acceptable values and defaults are in the header named beside it, where each input is read with its default on the same line.

Problems in Exec may define further prob. inputs of their own, in that problem’s prob.cpp; those are not listed here.

Note

This index is derived from the ParmParse calls in Source/Prob. A setup that reads an input through a helper shared with another setup will show that input under both.
