Files for the forest-fire simulation
Files for the forest-fire simulation
Files created by a standard simulation:
- conc
- The concentration as a function of time. The first column
contains the global time multiplied by 200, the second one the
corresponding values of the mean density of trees. It may be
useful to look at this file to find out how far the simulation
has proceeded.
- status
- This file contains all the important information on the
present state of the system. This file is read if a terminated
simulation is resumed using the option `-d'. You can also
use the program with the option `-e' to create the files
to be mentioned now from a simulation that is still in
progress.
Note: The `status' files of the programs `forest'
and `forestnc' cannot be exchanged !
- cf_plotfile
- The two-point function C(y). The first column contains
the distances y, the second one the corresponding values of
the two-point function.
- ns_plotfile
- This file is created only by the program `forest'. It
contains the cluster-size distribution n(s). The first column
is the size s, the second one the corresponding n(s).
- cf_con_plotfile
- This file is created only by the program `forest' and
contains the correlation function K(y) inside a single cluster.
The first column contains the values of the distance y,
the second one those of K(y).
- dens_fluc
- This file is created only if the options `-l' or `-L'
are used. It contains the 257 values of local densities.
The first column is the local density, the second one
the probability to find it.
You can perform a simulation with a global density distribution
given by the file `dens_fluc' if you start a simulation with `forest -g'.
Then the file `dens_fluc' is read and the following files are
created:
- status_fl
- This file contains all the important information on the
present state of the system. This file is read if a terminated
simulation is resumed using the option `-d'. You can also
use the program with the option `-e' to create the files
to be mentioned now from a simulation that is still in
progress.
- ns_plotfile_fl
- This file contains the cluster-size distribution n(s). The first column
is the size s, the second one the corresponding n(s).
- cf_con_plotfile_fl
- This file contains the correlation function K(y) inside a single cluster.
The first column contains the values of the distance y,
the second one those of K(y).
- dens_fluc_fl
- This file contains the distribution of local densities that has
been created in the simulation.
The first column is the local density, the second one
the probability to find it. If the statistics is high enough,
this file should look precisely like the file `dens_fluc'.
Other files:
- snapshot.lj
- A binary file containing a HPGL version of the state of the system.
Intended for printout on HP LaserJet or compatible.
