Detailed Description

BoundaryMembrane : defines a boundary impermeable to everything except to gas.

BoundaryMembrane : defines a boundary impermeable to everything except to gas. A membrane boundary has a selective permeability, meaning it behaves like a zero-flux boundary for agents and most of the solutes, but for selected solutes includes specification of the diffusivity in the membrane and the opposing-side solute concentration

Initialises the boundary from information contained in the simulation protocol file, and builds the list of solutes to let diffuse through the membrane

Parameters

aSim	The simulation object used to simulate the conditions specified in the protocol file
aDomain	The domain which this boundary condition is associated with
aBCMarkUp	The XML tags that have declared this boundary in the protocol file

ContinuousVector simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.BoundaryGasMembrane.lookAt ( ContinuousVector cc )

virtual

Method used by another which gets the indexed grid position of a continuous vector. Some boundary conditions need the input corrected, some don't and just return the input.

Method used by another which gets the indexed grid position of a continuous vector. Some boundary conditions (e.g. BoundaryCyclic_ need the input corrected due to the condition, some don't and just return the input. Maybe we'll change this at some point as to just return the input looks a bit daft - but we'll leave it here for the moment

cc	ContinuousVector that gives the current location of an agent to check on the grid

Implements simulator.geometry.boundaryConditions.AllBC.
