Description

This command is used to de-activate particles inside a geometry at time $t_{clean}$.

For SPH particles the geometry ID can be omitted. If omitted then two options are available:

Option 1

If none of the parameters $m_{min}$, $W_{min}$ or $v_{min}$ have been defined, then all SPH fragments except the largest chunk of material will be deleted.

Option 2

All SPH fragments with a mass, kinetic energy or velocity smaller than $m_{min}$, $W_{min}$ or $v_{min}$ will be deleted. If the optional direction vector $\bf{n}$ is defined, then both the projected fragment velocity and the projected kinetic energy are compared against the threshold values $W_{min}$ and $v_{min}$.
