14.2.1 Initialize_Ortho_Diffusion Procedure

The Initialize_Ortho_Diffusion procedure allocates and initializes an Ortho_Diffusion Term object.

Calling syntax:

call Initialize (Diff_Term, Coefficient, BC_Faces_of_Cells, Phi_BC_Faces_of_Cells, Phi_MV, Locus, Mesh, Name, Extrapolation, Equation, NEquations, status)

Input variables:

	Subtype variables
	Diff_Term		The Ortho_Diffusion object to be initialized.
	BC_Faces_of_Cells		Boundary condition flags for this Ortho_Diffusion object.
	Phi_BC_Faces_of_Cells		Boundary condition constants for this Ortho_Diffusion object.
	Coefficient		A vector of diffusion coefficents.
	Phi_MV		An Mathematic Vector of the independent variable that this Ortho_Diffusion object is based on (past time step or iterate value).
	Locus		The location for the Ortho_Diffusion Term (e.g. Cells, Nodes or Faces)
	Mesh		The Mesh object that this Ortho_Diffusion Term is based on.
	Name		The name for this variable. [Optional]
	Extrapolation		A factor used in the source and vacuum boundary conditions, which effectively sets the extrapolation distance to Coefficient/Extrapolation. [Optional, default is 1/2]
	Equation		The equation number for this variable. [Optional]
	NEquations		The total number of equations in this system.

Output variables:

	Diff_Term		The Ortho_Diffusion object has been allocated and initialized.
	status		If present, the status variable is set to either 'Memory Error' or 'Success' depending on program execution. If not present, the procedure aborts if unsuccessful when the DEBUG_LEVEL is set high enough.

Internal variables:

	allocate_status		Allocation Status.
	consolidated_status		Consolidated Status.
