settling Process Documentation¶

Overview¶

Gravitational settling process for atmospheric particles

Process Type: transport Author: CATChem Development Team Version: 1.0

Features¶

Available Schemes¶

Stokesscheme: Stokes settling with slip correction and dynamic viscosity
Intermediatereynoldsscheme: Intermediate Reynolds number settling scheme

Usage¶

Initialization¶

use settlingProcess_Mod
type(settlingProcessType) :: process
type(StateContainerType) :: container
integer :: rc

! Initialize the process
call process%init(container, rc)

Running the Process¶

! Run the process
call process%run(container, rc)

Finalization¶

! Clean up
call process%finalize(rc)

Configuration¶

The process can be configured through the StateContainer configuration system.

Required State Dependencies¶
