EscapeTime

The EscapeTime step records the time at which particles escape from a defined region in the simulation box.

Output format:

0 3
0 7
100 12
200 18
300 25

• type: GeometricalMeasure, EscapeTime

• parameters:

  • outputFilePath: string: Path to the output file

• data:

  • normalVector: real3[]: List of normal vectors defining the escape planes

  • independentVector: real3[]: List of points on the escape planes

Example:

"escapeTime":{
  "type":["GeometricalMeasure","EscapeTime"],
  "parameters":{
    "intervalStep": 10000,
    "outputFilePath": "escape_times.dat"
  },
  "labels":["normalVector","independentVector"],
  "data":[
     [[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]],[[5, 0, 0], [0, 5, 0], [0, 0, 5]]],
     [[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]],[[2,1,0], [0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 2]]]
  ]
}

Note

The output file will contain the escape time and particle ID for each particle that leaves the defined region.

Tip

This measure is useful for studying confinement effects, particle trapping, or escape rates in various systems.
