Detailed Description

template<int DIM, class TYPE>
class SAMRAI::pdat::OuterfaceVariable< DIM, TYPE >

Class OuterfaceVariable<DIM> is a templated variable class used to define face-centered data quantities only on patch boundaries. It is a subclass of hier::Variable and is templated on the type of the underlying data (e.g., double, int, bool, etc.).

Note that the data layout in the outerface data arrays matches the corresponding array sections provided by the face data implementation. See header file for the OuterfaceData<DIM> class for a more detailed description of the data layout.

IMPORTANT: The class OutersideVariable<DIM> and associated "outerside data" classes define the same storage as this outerface variable class, except that the individual array indices are not permuted in the outerside data type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<int DIM, class TYPE>

SAMRAI::pdat::OuterfaceVariable< DIM, TYPE >::OuterfaceVariable	(	const std::string &	name,
		int	depth = 1
	)

Create an outerface variable object having properties specified by the name and depth (i.e., number of data values at each index location). The default depth is one.

Note that The ghost cell width for all outerface data is currently fixed at zero; this may be changed in the future if needed.
