Internal And Consistency Outputs

This page is generated from in-code XGC I/O metadata by utils/python/document_outputs.py.

Internal helper and consistency-check outputs that may be useful for debugging or verification.

./xgc.saved_volumes.bp

Variable	Units	Description
nnode	Positive integer	Number of 2D mesh nodes.
node_area	m^2	Poloidal-plane area associated with each mesh node.
node_vol	m^3	Spatial volume associated with each 3D mesh node. The volume of the whole torus is \(N_{\mathrm{wedge}} N_{\phi,\mathrm{tot}} \sum_k V_k\), where \(V_k\) is node_vol(k).
node_vol_ff_h	m^3	Field-following spatial volume associated with each mesh node for the two neighboring field-following planes.
node_vol_ff_l_h	m^3	Left-side field-following spatial volume associated with each mesh node for the two neighboring field-following planes.
node_vol_ff_r_h	m^3	Right-side field-following spatial volume associated with each mesh node for the two neighboring field-following planes.
node_vol_nearest	m^3	Spatial volume assigned to each mesh node using nearest-node volume accumulation.
npsi00	Positive integer	Number of points in the uniformly spaced psi00 flux grid used for saved volume data.
ntriangle	Positive integer	Number of triangles in the planar mesh.
tr_area_h	m^2	Area of each triangle in the 2D plane mesh.
tr_vol_h	m^3	Toroidal volume associated with each triangle in the 3D mesh wedge.
vol00	m^3	Volume associated with each point of the uniformly spaced psi00 flux grid.
