Sunflowers_growth: Generate size distribution of sunflower pyrite based on different growth mechanisms

Description

Generate size distribution of sunflower pyrite based on different growth mechanisms

Usage

Sunflowers_growth(Number_Sunflowers = 1000, Initialization = FALSE,
  framboids, sunflowers, Simulation = 1, Random_Limit = 1, Iterations = 3,
  MaxInfillingVolume = 0.1, MaxMeanDiameter = 20)

Arguments

Number_Sunflowers

An integer indicanting the number of sunflowers to grow

Initialization

If TRUE the growth starts from a framboids data_frame. If FALSE the growth continues from a sunflower data_frame

framboids

When Initialization=TRUE contains the framboid data_frame from which sunflower grow

sunflowers

When Initialization=FALSE contains a sunflower data_frame previously grown

Simulation

The growth mechanism to simulate. 1,3 surface-controlled, 2-4 supply-controlled, 1,2 size dependent, 3,4 size independent, 5 supply-controlled, increasing volume, size dependent

Random_Limit

A number from 0 to 1 representing the maximum value of random numbers in algorithm

Iterations

An integer value that controls the maximum number of iterations of the algorithm

MaxInfillingVolume

A value from 0 to 1-packed_factor indicating the maximim infilled volume of the framboidal core (Simulation = 5)

MaxMeanDiameter

A number (in micrometers) controling the maximum mean of the size distribution of sunflowers

Value

A sunflower data_frame

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## Size dependent and surface-controlled growth of 100 framboids adding nanocrystals
## until the mean of the diameters of framboids was 10 micrometers followed by size dependent
## and supply-controlled growth until the mean of the diameter was 15 micrometers followed by
## supply-controlled, increasing volume and size dependent growth of sunflowers
## until the mean of the diameter was 20 micrometers
