particle drift_state

Particle drift_state

Every particle has a drift_state.It is defined in the type PartMain as an integer. It can take several value:

0. Stopped, the particle will not move anymore and should not be impacted by the physical processes
1. unreleased yet, the particle will be released when its CStartDateTime will be reached by the simulation, in the new_release (Oserit_Utils.f90) subroutine called directly in Oserit_model.f90.
2. Drifting

This is used to now if a particle should be impacted by the physical processes or not. For the more precise state of the particle, see state
