non-uniform plasma profiles

[YangmeiLi]

Hi,

I found some description on different plasma profiles like below, but they seemed not correct, as I only got uniform plasma at Profile_type of 1 instead of 0 and no plasma at all for other profile types. I used the code released on github. Probably you have updated the code and changed the corresponding type values to create different plasmas? Could you offer me the right description? I really need this to create non-uniform plasma. Many thanks.

Profile_type: 0 - uniform, density = 1
(nomalized to the Plasma_Density)
1 - linear, density = 1+p1*(x/p2-p3)
2 - sine, density = 1+p1sin(xp2-p3)
3 - gaussian, density = 1+p1*exp(-((x-p2)/p3)**2)
18 - hollow channel, density = 0 (r<p1) or p2 (r>p1)
19 - circle, density = p2 (r<p1) or 0 (r>p1)
20 - half space, density = 0 (right) or 1 (left)
21 - piecewise, density = n(r)
70 - finite hollow channel, density = 0
(r<p1 & r>p3) or p2 (r>p1 & r<p3)
argx1/2/3: arguments for uniform, linear, sine, gaussian, hollow,
circle, half space profiles.
uniform: argx1/2/3 not used.
linear: p1=argx1, p2=argx2, p3=argx3
sine: p1=argx1, p2=argx2, p3=argx3
gaussian: p1=argx1, p2=argx2, p3=argx3
hollow/circle: p1=argx1 (micron), p2=argx2
half: argx1/2/3 not used

Best regards,
Yangmei

I have added hollow channel profiles in the dev branch. I also put some instructions for the input file parameters in the wiki page. Please give it a try if you are still interested.
