coid
Command ID
$x_c$, $y_c$, $z_c$
Source center coordinate
$R$
Radius of source
$C_v$
Heat capacity
$\gamma$
Heat capacity ratio $(C_p/C_v)$
cid${}_{\dot m}$
ID of a CURVE defining mass flow rate versus time
cid${}_{\dot E}$
ID of a CURVE defining energy rate versus time
gid
Source geometry ID
Description
This command defines a gas generator with prescribed mass and energy influx. In SI units the mass flow rate is in $kg/s$ and the energy rate in $J/s$.
The source can either be a sphere with radius $R$ and center coordinate $(x_c, y_c, z_c)$, or a geometry with ID gid.
