Detailed Description

Coarsens a Cartesian mesh by 2.

Warning: This method is experimental.

This class allows coarsening a Cartesian mesh. Instances of this class are created via ICartesianMesh::createCartesianMeshCoarsening().

The initial mesh must be Cartesian and must not have patches.

The mesh must be an AMR mesh (IMesh::isAmrActivated()==true).

The number of cells in each dimension must be a multiple of 2 as must the number of local cells in each subdomain.

The coarsening occurs upon calling createCoarseCell(). After this call, the mesh has the following structure:

coarse cells are created for every quadruplet of existing cells which thus become refined cells.
each coarse cell is at level 0 (Cell::level()) and each initial cell is at level 1.
these child cells can be accessed via the Cell::nbHChildren() and Cell::hChild() methods.
there will be two patches in the mesh. The first will contain the level zero cells and the second will contain the level 1 cells, which are the original cells before coarsening.

It is then possible to keep only the coarse cells and remove the refined cells by calling the method.

removeRefinedCells() which deletes cells other than the coarse cells. After this call, there is only a Cartesian mesh with half the number of cells in each direction. It will then be possible to call the refinement methods to create additional levels. Here is an example of user code:

ICartesianMesh* cartesian_mesh = ...;
Ref<CartesianMeshCoarsening> coarser = CartesianMeshUtils::createCartesianMeshCoarsening(cartesian_mesh);
coarser->createCoarseCells();
