binaryRecombination

Binary Recombination

Works with a VSimPD license. Collision of the form

\[A + B \rightarrow AB\]

This reaction will make one product particle out of two reactants. This process conserves momentum but is inelastic, with the energy loss going into an un-modeled photon. Supports either electron-ion recombination or something more exotic like

\[H^- + H^+ \rightarrow H_2\]

binaryRecombination Attributes

randomSeed (int, optional, default: random int)

Manually set a random seed used to determine the final velocities of the product particles.

The default is to choose a random seed at run time. To produce identical simulations, advanced users may want to manually set a seed. It is recommended not to include this parameter so that a different random number will be generated for each run.

Example binaryRecombination Block

<RxnProductGenerator productGenerator>
  kind = binaryRecombination
  #randomSeed = 456
</RxnProductGenerator>
