Task SetTGSD

The task SetTGSD generates particle Total Grain Size Distributions (TGSD) for species of category particles or radionuclides.

Input file

This task requires a single input file, i.e. the namelist file name.inp.

Output files

The total grain size distribution file

The Total Grain Size Distribution (TGSD) file name.tgsd.species is generated for each particle and radionuclide species. The TGSD file is an ASCII file containing the definition of the particle bins (each characterized by size, density and sphericity). It is generated by the task SetTgsd or directly furnished by the user. The file format is described in the following table:

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
nc
diam(1)rho(1)sphe(1)fc(1)
............
diam(nc)rho(nc)sphe(nc)f(nc)

where the symbols are:

symboldefinition
ncNumber of bins
diambin diameter in \(mm\)
rhobin density in \(kg~m^{-3}\)
sphebin sphericity
fcbin mass fraction satisfying \(\sum fc = 1\)

The following is an example with 12 bins:
