Description : Project of "general abstract Surface Interaction class". not yet in use, would allow to reduce the region of interaction
Describes the interactions of particles with a surface, either a physical surface or boundary surface.
The inputs to compute an interaction are:
- a surface distribution for the incoming flux (of electrons, ions, or photons, etc.)
- parameters for the interaction
NB: they are treated on a different footing since the flux is variable, whereas the parameters are (more) constant: the latter are object members, whereas the former are method parameters.
The output are:
- a surface distribution for the outgoing flux (of electrons, ions, etc.)
- a "circuit field" for the net current collected by the spacecraft circuit
Most of the implementation is left to the derived classes, which specialise to the various types of interactions.
Particle sources are also considered as surface interactions, since they share almost all properties with interactions, they simply have no incoming flux.

public SurfInteractDeprecated(SurfMesh surfMesh,
                              ScalSurfField applicableArea,
                              InteractModel interactMod,
                              ScalSurfField interactModId,
                              int thisInteractModId)
Constructor with verification.
Reduces the application field "applicable" to surfaces described with this interaction model (or material model).
Normally this task should already have been performed when the default constructor is used.
Warning: When using this constructor, "applicable" may be modified, so make a copy when calling it, if needed.

Method Detail

interact

public abstract void interact(SurfDistrib fluxIn,
                              SurfDistrib fluxOut,
                              SurfField netCur)
Simulates the interaction of the particle flux FluxIn, which produces the outgoing flux FluxOut and the net current NetCur.
The type of description of the outgoing flux FluxOut is determined by the actual class of the object FluxOut: it cannot be the virtual class SurfDistrib but only PICSurfDistrib or FluidSurfDistrib...
Depending on that, a particle sampling is performed or only the total emitted current is provided in FluxOut.
