CPU Timer abbreviation meanings
hello,
Want to know what are the abbreviations in the beginning of the summary of timers as erported in the Run.out as shown below?
For example this is generated by running the multiphase dam break simulation. Which timer shows the compute time for the nearest neighbor search for the fluid and air phase?
Does dualSphysics use two solvers one for fluid and another one for air?

You can find the governing equations of the solvers here: https://github.com/DualSPHysics/DualSPHysics/wiki/3.-SPH-formulation
About times of Neighbour List, you will have to some the times of "NL"
Regards
Thanks. Seems the github has the explanation of equations but may be not exactly listing out the abbreviations such as SU, CF etc. You have explained what the NL means.
For the SU-ComputeStep (1974.6 sec) , is it the total time taken by the time marching by verlet or simplectic scheme only? and the other cpu times which were listed before that in the CPU timer summary is not adding to that SU-ComputeStep; is that correct?
By the way, does multiphase liqGas dualSphysics use two solvers one for denser fluid and another one for lighter fluid? and two kernel functions deploy separate neighborhood search and collects only the corresponding phase particles in those searches?
I don't recall VA, but SU = System Update, CF = Compute Forces
Kind regards
