EM_boundary_conditions set as "PML" in 3Dcartesian is ok? about smilei HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello,

Can you provide your namelist in order I can check all parameters is correctly given ?

Using Envelope PML is not very user friendly for now and namelist writting could be cumbersome with this functionnality for now. We are trying to change that. On top of that, be aware that PML envelope in X direction is currently instable and lead to some spurious energy growth at the present day. It's due to the fact FDTD scheme assume "forward envelope propagation" and fixe carrier wave with +k0.

PML Envelope have been extensively tested and used for Y and Z PML (transverse PML)

PML Envelope for 2D, 3D and AM are currently improved by the Smilei Team on all of theses aspect, so you're feedback are welcome.

Hi, @Guilleaumes
Thanks for your answer!
I run the code in the version of smilei5.0. Regarding Laser Envelope Model，two namelist.py will be given as follows: one is based on EM_boundary_conditions"reflective",which is named after "reflective_Envelope" and run fine; the other on EM_boundary_conditions"PML", referred to as "PML_Envelope" and run abnormally. I don't know why. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me!

After checking your input, you have to define BC condition as :

Main(
...
EM_boundary_conditions = [['silver-muller','silver-muller'],['PML','PML'],['PML','PML']],
number_of_pml_cells = [[0,0],[16,16],[16,16]],
...
)

LaserEnvelope(
...
Envelope_boundary_conditions = [ ["reflective", "reflective"],["PML","PML"],["PML","PML"]],
...
)

x-PML with Envelope is not supported for now
