ScatteredPointToMeshInterpolation

Overview

ScatteredPointToMeshInterpolation is a C-based utility designed to interpolate scattered data points onto a mesh grid. This tool is particularly useful in computational simulations where data from discrete points need to be mapped onto a continuous mesh for analysis or visualization.

Features

• Point-in-Cell (PIC) Interpolation: Implements the PIC method to assign values from scattered data points to corresponding mesh cells.
• Custom Input Generation: Includes a utility to create input files with scattered data points for testing and demonstration purposes.

Repository Structure

• PIC_Interpolation.c: Main source code implementing the PIC interpolation algorithm.
• input_fileMaker.c: Utility to generate input files containing scattered data points.
• Test_input.bin: Sample binary input file with scattered data points for testing.
• Test_Mesh.out: Sample output file demonstrating the interpolation results.
• HPC_assignment.pdf: Documentation detailing the methodology and implementation of the interpolation process.
• README.md: This file, providing an overview and guidance on using the project.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• GCC compiler for compiling C programs.

Compilation

To compile the source code files, use the following commands:

gcc -o PIC_Interpolation PIC_Interpolation.c -openmp
gcc -o input_fileMaker input_fileMaker.c
