NAME

star-phor-output - file format specification for star-phor results.

DESCRIPTION

The output of the star-phor(1) program consists of a list of observable estimators. Each estimator is described on a separate line.

star-phor outputs are closely related to the star-phor-input(5) file that has generated the simulation. For each sensor defined in the input file, star-phor writes a set of output values at different levels: per-volume sensor mean volumetric rate of energy absorption (MVREA); per component MVREA within each specified volume; and per-sensor surface LOSSES.

In addition, the total estimate of each observable (MVREA or LOSSES), combining all sensors of a given type, is also provided.

GRAMMAR

This sections outlines the star-phor output files specification syntax using the Backus-Naur notation system.

Some lines end with a backslash (\). This allows the description to continue on the next line for formatting purposes. However, this trick cannot be used in description files, and actual description lines must remain on a single line.

The syntax rules enabling the description of a photoreactor are as follows:

<star-phor-output>         ::= <observable-output>
                               ...
 
<observable-output>        ::= <combined-estimator>
                               <per-sensor-estimator>
                               ...
                               [<per-component-estimator>
                               ...]
 
<combined-estimator>       ::= <observable>:\
                               <mean-value>:\
                               <standard-error>
 
<per-sensor-estimator>     ::= <observable>:\
                               <sensor-name>:\
                               <mean-value>:\
                               <standard-error>
 
<per-component-estimator>  ::= <observable>:\
                               <sensor-name>:\
                               <component-name>:\
                               <mean-value>:\
                               <standard-error>
 
<observable>               ::= MVREA | LOSSES
<sensor-name>              ::= <volume-name> | <surface-name>
<volume-name>              ::= 'string'
<surface-name>             ::= 'string'
<component-name>           ::= 'string'
<mean-value>               ::= 'real'
<standard-error>           ::= 'real'

HISTORY

star-phor has been developed thanks to the funding of the ECOCHEM project (ProjetIA-22-PESP-0006) belonging to the PEPR SPLEEN.
