Hello,
I am working on a simulation involving a grid of 1000 cells, but I am only initializing a species, species A, within the first 10 cells. I am considering using
npart_per_cell = 1000
for these cells. While this value appears large for individual cells, across the entire grid of 1000 cells, this approach yields an average of just 10 particles per cell.So my question is whether I should scale up
npart_per_cell
based on the total number of cells in the simulation. I suppose in general we should do convergence tests but what is the rule of thumb?Thank you!
