GetCellCharacteristicSize()

PetscErrorCode GetCellCharacteristicSize	(	const Cell *	cell,
		PetscReal *	cellSize
	)

Estimates a characteristic length of the cell for threshold scaling.

For a hexahedral cell with vertices cell->vertices[0..7], we approximate the cell size by some measure—e.g. average edge length or diagonal.

Parameters

[in]	cell	A pointer to the Cell structure
[out]	cellSize	A pointer to a PetscReal where the characteristic size is stored.

Returns

PetscErrorCode 0 on success, non-zero on failure.

Estimates a characteristic length of the cell for threshold scaling.

Full API contract (arguments, ownership, side effects) is documented with the header declaration in include/walkingsearch.h.

ComputeSignedDistanceToPlane()

PetscErrorCode ComputeSignedDistanceToPlane	(	const Cmpnts	v1,
		const Cmpnts	v2,
		const Cmpnts	v3,
		const Cmpnts	v4,
		const Cmpnts	cell_centroid,
		const Cmpnts	p_target,
		PetscReal *	d_signed,
		const PetscReal	threshold
	)

Computes the signed distance from a point to the plane approximating a quadrilateral face.

This function calculates the signed distance from a given point p_target to the plane approximating a quadrilateral face defined by points v1, v2, v3, and v4. The plane's initial normal is determined using two edge vectors emanating from v1 (i.e., v2-v1 and v4-v1).

Normal Orientation: The initial normal's orientation is checked against the cell's interior. A vector from the face centroid to the cell centroid (vec_face_to_cell_centroid) is computed. If the dot product of the initial normal and vec_face_to_cell_centroid is positive, it means the initial normal is pointing towards the cell's interior (it's an inward normal relative to the cell). In this case, the normal is flipped to ensure it points outward.

Signed Distance Convention: The signed distance is the projection of the vector from p_target to the face's centroid onto the (now guaranteed) outward-pointing plane's normal vector.

• d_signed < 0: p_target is "outside" and "beyond" the face, in the direction of the outward normal. This is the primary case indicating the particle has crossed this face.
• d_signed > 0: p_target is "outside" but "behind" the face (on the same side as the cell interior relative to this face plane).
• d_signed = 0: p_target is on the face plane (within threshold).

Parameters

[in]	v1	First vertex defining the face (used as origin for initial normal calculation).
[in]	v2	Second vertex defining the face (used for first edge vector: v2-v1).
[in]	v3	Third vertex defining the face (used for face centroid calculation).
[in]	v4	Fourth vertex defining the face (used for second edge vector: v4-v1).
[in]	cell_centroid	The centroid of the 8-vertex cell to which this face belongs.
[in]	p_target	The point from which the distance to the plane is calculated.
[out]	d_signed	Pointer to store the computed signed distance.
[in]	threshold	The threshold below which the absolute distance is considered zero.

Note

• The order of vertices v1, v2, v3, v4 is used for calculating the face centroid. The order of v1, v2, v4 is used for the initial normal calculation.
• The cell_centroid is crucial for robustly determining the outward direction of the normal.

Returns

PetscErrorCode Returns 0 on success, PETSC_ERR_ARG_NULL if d_signed is NULL, or PETSC_ERR_USER if a degenerate plane (near-zero normal) is detected.

EvaluateParticlePosition()

PetscErrorCode EvaluateParticlePosition	(	const Cell *	cell,
		PetscReal *	d,
		const Cmpnts	p,
		PetscInt *	position,
		const PetscReal	threshold
	)

Determines the spatial relationship of a particle relative to a cubic cell.

This function evaluates whether a particle located at a specific point p in 3D space is positioned inside the cell, on the boundary of the cell, or outside the cell. The determination is based on the signed distances from the particle to each of the six faces of the cell. The function utilizes the computed distances to ascertain the particle's position with respect to the cell boundaries, considering a threshold to account for floating-point precision.

Parameters

[in]	cell	A pointer to a Cell structure that defines the cubic cell via its vertices. The cell's geometry is essential for accurately computing the distances to each face.
[in]	d	A pointer to an array of six PetscReal values that store the signed distances from the particle to each face of the cell. These distances are typically computed using the CalculateDistancesToCellFaces function.
[in]	p	The location of the particle in 3D space, represented by the Cmpnts structure. This point is the reference for distance calculations to the cell's faces.
[out]	position	A pointer to an integer that will be set based on the particle's position relative to the cell: 0: The particle is inside the cell. 1: The particle is on the boundary of the cell. -1: The particle is outside the cell.
[in]	threshold	A PetscReal value that defines the minimum distance below which a computed distance is considered to be zero. This threshold helps in mitigating inaccuracies due to floating-point arithmetic, especially when determining if the particle lies exactly on the boundary.

Returns

PetscErrorCode Returns 0 if the function executes successfully. If an error occurs, a non-zero error code is returned, indicating the type of failure.

Note

• It is assumed that the d array has been properly allocated and contains valid distance measurements before calling this function.
• The function relies on CalculateDistancesToCellFaces to accurately compute the signed distances to each face. Any inaccuracies in distance calculations can affect the determination of the particle's position.
• The threshold parameter should be chosen based on the specific precision requirements of the application to balance between sensitivity and robustness against floating-point errors.
• The function includes a debug statement that prints the face distances, which can be useful for verifying the correctness of distance computations during development or troubleshooting.

LocateParticleInGrid()

PetscErrorCode LocateParticleInGrid	(	UserCtx *	user,
		Particle *	particle
	)

Locates the grid cell containing a particle using a walking search.

This function implements a walking search algorithm to find the specific cell (identified by global indices i, j, k) that encloses the particle's physical location (particle->loc).

The search starts from an initial guess cell (either the particle's previously known cell or the corner of the local process domain) and iteratively steps to adjacent cells based on the signed distances from the particle to the faces of the current cell.

Upon successful location (position == 0), the particle's cell field is updated with the found indices (i,j,k), and the corresponding interpolation weights are calculated and stored using the distances (d) relative to the final cell.

Handles particles exactly on cell boundaries by attempting a tie-breaker if the search gets stuck oscillating between adjacent cells due to the boundary condition.

Parameters

[in]	user	Pointer to the UserCtx structure containing grid information (DMDA, coordinates) and domain boundaries.
[in,out]	particle	Pointer to the Particle structure. Its loc field provides the target position. On successful return, its cell and weights fields are updated. On failure, cell is set to {-1, -1, -1} and weights to {0.0, 0.0, 0.0}.

Returns

PetscErrorCode 0 on success. Non-zero error codes may indicate issues during coordinate access, distance calculation, or other internal errors. A return code of 0 does not guarantee the particle was found; check particle->cell[0] >= 0 afterward.

Note

Relies on helper functions like InitializeTraversalParameters, CheckCellWithinLocalGrid, RetrieveCurrentCell, EvaluateParticlePosition, UpdateCellIndicesBasedOnDistances, UpdateParticleWeights, and FinalizeTraversal.

Warning

Ensure particle->loc is set correctly before calling.

The function may fail to find the particle if it lies outside the domain accessible by the current process (including ghost cells) or if MAX_TRAVERSAL steps are exceeded.

FinalizeTraversal()

PetscErrorCode FinalizeTraversal	(	UserCtx *	user,
		Particle *	particle,
		PetscInt	traversal_steps,
		PetscBool	cell_found,
		PetscInt	idx,
		PetscInt	idy,
		PetscInt	idz
	)

Finalizes the traversal by reporting the results.

This function prints the outcome of the traversal, indicating whether the particle was found within a cell or not, and updates the particle's cell indices accordingly.

Parameters

[in]	user	Pointer to the user-defined context containing grid information.
[out]	particle	Pointer to the Particle structure to update with cell indices.
[in]	traversal_steps	The number of traversal steps taken.
[in]	cell_found	Flag indicating whether the particle was found within a cell.
[in]	idx	The i-index of the found cell.
[in]	idy	The j-index of the found cell.
[in]	idz	The k-index of the found cell.

Returns

PetscErrorCode Returns 0 on success, non-zero on failure.

FindOwnerOfCell()

PetscErrorCode FindOwnerOfCell	(	UserCtx *	user,
		PetscInt	i,
		PetscInt	j,
		PetscInt	k,
		PetscMPIInt *	owner_rank
	)

Finds the MPI rank that owns a given global cell index.

This function performs a linear search through the pre-computed decomposition map (user->RankCellInfoMap) to determine which process is responsible for the cell with global indices (i, j, k). It is the definitive method for resolving cell ownership in the "Walk and Handoff" migration algorithm.

If the provided indices are outside the range of any rank (e.g., negative or beyond the global domain), the function will not find an owner and owner_rank will be set to -1.

Parameters

[in]	user	Pointer to the UserCtx structure, which must contain the initialized RankCellInfoMap and num_ranks.
[in]	i	Global i-index of the cell to find.
[in]	j	Global j-index of the cell to find.
[in]	k	Global k-index of the cell to find.
[out]	owner_rank	Pointer to a PetscMPIInt where the resulting owner rank will be stored. It is set to -1 if no owner is found.

Returns

PetscErrorCode 0 on success, or a non-zero PETSc error code on failure.

Finds the MPI rank that owns a given global cell index.

LocateParticleOrFindMigrationTarget()

PetscErrorCode LocateParticleOrFindMigrationTarget	(	UserCtx *	user,
		Particle *	particle,
		ParticleLocationStatus *	status_out
	)

Locates a particle's host cell or identifies its migration target using a robust walk search.

This is the core search engine. It starts from a guess cell and walks through the grid. It returns a definitive, actionable status indicating the outcome:

• ACTIVE_AND_LOCATED: The particle was found in a cell on the current rank.
• MIGRATING_OUT: The particle was found to belong to another rank. particle->destination_rank is set.
• LOST: The search failed to find the particle within the global domain.

This function is globally aware and can walk across MPI rank boundaries. It contains robust checks for global domain boundaries and a tie-breaker for numerically "stuck" particles on cell faces.

Parameters

[in]	user	Pointer to the UserCtx containing all grid and domain info.
[in,out]	particle	Pointer to the Particle struct. Its fields are updated based on the search outcome.
[out]	status_out	The final, actionable status of the particle after the search.

Returns

PetscErrorCode 0 on success, or a non-zero PETSc error code on failure.

Note

Testing status: This function is exercised indirectly by the orchestrator tests, but direct branch pinning for boundary clamp, ghost-region handoff, tie-breaker, LOST, and MIGRATING_OUT outcomes is still part of the next-gap test backlog.

UpdateCellIndicesBasedOnDistances()

PetscErrorCode UpdateCellIndicesBasedOnDistances	(	PetscReal	d[NUM_FACES],
		PetscInt *	idx,
		PetscInt *	idy,
		PetscInt *	idz
	)

Updates the cell indices based on the signed distances to each face.

This function modifies the cell indices (idx, idy, idz) to move towards the direction where the particle is likely to be located, based on positive distances indicating that the particle is outside in that particular direction.

Parameters

[in]	d	An array of six PetscReal values representing the signed distances to each face: d[LEFT]: Left Face d[RIGHT]: Right Face d[BOTTOM]: Bottom Face d[TOP]: Top Face d[FRONT]: Front Face d[BACK]: Back Face
[out]	idx	Pointer to the i-index of the cell to be updated.
[out]	idy	Pointer to the j-index of the cell to be updated.
[out]	idz	Pointer to the k-index of the cell to be updated.

Returns

PetscErrorCode Returns 0 on success, non-zero on failure.

Updates the cell indices based on the signed distances to each face.

Local to this translation unit.
