In the current version of WarpX, the PML field update is not done properly in 2D, if the code is compiled with EB support.
There are 2 bugs that are causing this, which are being fixed in this PR:
When calling the
ScaleEdges
function, we were passing an array of cellsizes that, in 2D, looked like{dx, dz, 0}
while the function expected something of the form{dx, 0, dz}
. This is now fixed by callingWarpX::CellSize(lev)
.The
if
condition that ensures that the PML field is not updated in the EB was not implemented correctly. We now use the sameif
condition for the PML field as for the regular field:https://github.com/ECP-WarpX/WarpX/blob/development/Source/FieldSolver/FiniteDifferenceSolver/EvolveE.cpp#L174
Many thanks to @anecas1979 for finding this bug and helping with the debugging process!
