APPENDIX 5 : DATA DICTIONARY FOR GEOMETRY CLASSES IN SMARTFIREFACE CLASSFaces are objects in their own right. E.g. a single brick cell has 6 faces whereas two adjoiningbrick cells have only 11 individual faces because the common face exists only once in a separateglobal face array. This global face array is defined as an array of pointers to faces.Face_Class ** face;face = new Face_Class* [TOTAL_NUMBER_OF_FACES+1];for ( i=1; i calc_centre();// Accessing some face data (Not used in current version of the code)face[30]->access(WALL_SHEAR_STRESS) = 0.3;class Face_Class {private://==> The size of storage used (only used for debug mode bounds checking).int array_size;//==> The data array slots for storage of face properties.Float_Type * data;public://==> The number of points around a face.int num_of_pts;//==> The patch number associated with a face (or 0 if this face is internal).Int_Type patch_num;//==> The boundary cell indicator (0 if internal or non -zero is the cell number).Int_Type bd_cell;//==> Array of indices of face vertex points in a walk around the face.Int_Type * pt_num;Appendix 11.5 Page 145-9 9
