Air

    For something i'm working on I need to know how the air (pressure) is processed. I have had a good look around the air.c however there are a few things I need to know.

    What are TSTEP, TSTEPV, PLOSS, VLOSS and what is the kernel?

    I would appreciate anything people can tell me.


    I think TSTEP and TSTEPV is to do with like doing multiple logic frames per tick? And PLOSS and VLOSS is to do with the pressure loss?

    I don't know anything about coding TPT so I can't really help you much. However I did think pressure loss for PLOSS when I saw that, VLOSS could be velocity loss.

    Thanks, that would make sense as to why there is a Pressure and Velocity not Horizontal and Vertical.

    Do you want to create pressure or what, please explain in more detail what you want to do

    I need to understand exactly how the air is simulated, how it works. Some of the variables in the code are unknown as to their purpose.

    Basically it is just a Navier-Stokes equation I have been told.
