update_nonInv_Beams

[cubayang]

Hi Nick,

I tried to simulate the swimmer case with pyIB2d, and I found that a code snippet in IBM_Driver.py:

if update_nonInv_Beams_Flag and nonInv_beams_Yes:
from update_nonInv_Beams import update_nonInv_Beams
#This function is application specific, located with main2d
nonInv_beams_info = update_nonInv_Beams(dt,current_time,beams_info)

Should I use "nonInv_beams_info" to replace "beams_info" in "update_nonInv_Beams" function since it is the nonInv Beam?

Thanks in advance,
Yang

Hi Yang,

Yes, I believe that should be changed, since the beam_Info corresponds to the torsional spring model for bending. Thank you for catching that. How is the implementation going otherwise?

Hi Nick,

The implementation goes well except for the speed. The setup of the case uses a uniform Cartesian mesh and one processor, I am wondering if I can try with non-uniform Cartesian meshes and multiple processors to increase the computational speed?Thanks!
