[CIG-MC] Segmentation fault error when adding tracers

[scott tarlow]

Hey Eh,

Thanks for spending time on this. I was able to successfully load the tracers into the system by turning chemical buoyancy off , and correcting my coordinate file. I don't need active tracers so this solution will work for me.

Hi Scott,

The 2nd dimension in your coor.dat is wrong. 

nsd= 2
1    3.2376
2    3.2368
3    3.2359
 .
 .
64    3.1860
65    3.1852

The coordinate must be an increasing function. 

Besides this problem, there is another possible obstacle in your setup. Enabling low viscosity channel will create some passive (weightless) tracers. Enabling chemistry will create active tracers. The code cannot handle both types (passive and active) of tracers correctly when both are present. 


Eh

Actually, I am still having a bit of trouble adding the tracersinto the mesh, as the tracer setup does not seem to be able to find the tracers in my file. I will attach my coordinate and my tracer file. It seems to me that the tracers should easily fall within the mesh generated by the coordinate file.

I ask this because I was able to successfully run ( as suggested) Cookbook7. I'll attach the two output files, (random) using  tracer_ic_method=0 and (input) using  tracer_ic_method=1.

Is that the correct interpretation of the low viscosity channel/wedge function in CitcomS ? Perhaps imposing them through changing viscosity_structures.c would be better?
