Detailed Description

a family of SPH interpolation kernels

vtkSPHKernel is an abstract superclass for smoothed-particle hydrodynamics interpolation kernels as described by D.J. Price (see full reference below).

Note that the kernel operates over a volume in space defined by a radius at a sampling point. The kernel implicitly assumes that the particles making up the input data satisfies physical properties such as conservation of mass. Therefore subclasses of this kernel are not generally applicable for interpolation processes, and therefore operate in conjunction with the vthSPHInterpolator class.

By default the kernel computes local particle volume from the spatial step^3. However, if both an optional mass and density arrays are provided then they are used to compute local volume.

Also be default, the local neighborhood around a point to be interpolated is computed as the CutoffFactor * SpatialStep. (Note the CutoffFactor varies for each type of SPH kernel.) However, the user may specify a CutoffArray which enables variable cutoff distances per each point.

Warning: For more information see D.J. Price, Smoothed particle hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, J. Comput. Phys. 231:759-794, 2012. Especially equation 49.

This is also referred to as the smoothing length.

virtual double vtkSPHKernel::GetSpatialStep ( )

virtual

virtual void vtkSPHKernel::SetCutoffArray ( vtkDataArray * )

Specify the (optional) array defining a cutoff distance.

If provided this distance is used to find the interpolating points within the local neighborbood. Otherwise the cutoff distance is defined as the cutoff factor times the spatial step size.

virtual vtkDataArray* vtkSPHKernel::GetCutoffArray ( )

virtual

Specify the (optional) array defining a cutoff distance.

If provided this distance is used to find the interpolating points within the local neighborbood. Otherwise the cutoff distance is defined as the cutoff factor times the spatial step size.

Produce the computational parameters for the kernel.

Invoke this method after setting initial values like SpatialStep.

Reimplemented from vtkInterpolationKernel.

virtual vtkIdType vtkSPHKernel::ComputeBasis	(	double	x[3],
		vtkIdList *	pIds,
		vtkIdType	ptId = `0`
	)

virtual

Given a point x (and optional associated ptId), determine the points around x which form an interpolation basis.

The user must provide the vtkIdList pIds, which will be dynamically resized as necessary. The method returns the number of points in the basis. Typically this method is called before ComputeWeights(). Note that while ptId is optional in most cases, if a cutoff array is provided, then ptId must be provided.

Implements vtkInterpolationKernel.

virtual vtkIdType vtkSPHKernel::ComputeWeights	(	double	x[3],
		vtkIdList *	pIds,
		vtkDoubleArray *	weights
	)

virtual

Given a point x, and a list of basis points pIds, compute interpolation weights associated with these basis points.

Implements vtkInterpolationKernel.

virtual vtkIdType vtkSPHKernel::ComputeDerivWeights	(	double	x[3],
		vtkIdList *	pIds,
		vtkDoubleArray *	weights,
		vtkDoubleArray *	gradWeights
	)

virtual

Given a point x, and a list of basis points pIds, compute interpolation weights, plus derivative weights, associated with these basis points.

virtual double vtkSPHKernel::ComputeFunctionWeight ( const double d )

pure virtual

Compute weighting factor given a normalized distance from a sample point.

Implemented in vtkWendlandQuinticKernel, vtkSPHCubicKernel, vtkSPHQuarticKernel, and vtkSPHQuinticKernel.

virtual double vtkSPHKernel::ComputeDerivWeight ( const double d )

pure virtual

Compute weighting factor for derivative quantities given a normalized distance from a sample point.

Implemented in vtkWendlandQuinticKernel, vtkSPHQuarticKernel, vtkSPHQuinticKernel, and vtkSPHCubicKernel.

virtual double vtkSPHKernel::GetNormFactor ( )

virtual

Return the SPH normalization factor.

This also includes the contribution of 1/h^d, where h is the smoothing length (i.e., spatial step) and d is the dimension of the kernel. The returned value is only valid after the kernel is initialized.
