Summary
The PR renames the scalar constant variables towards the convention neutral names
ascalar
andbscalar
as opposed to eitherA
andB
oralpha
andbeta
.Additional background
Precedence for using the names
ascalar
andbscalar
can be found in MLABecLaplacian.H, MLALaplacian.H, MLEBABecLap.H and various MyTest.H files. This naming scheme compliments that of the coefficients, often of the formacoeffs
,a_coeffs
, etc., as well as the functions namedsetAScalar()
,setACoeffs
, etc. For example, look at the usage ofacf
andbcf
in MLNodeABecLap_3D_K.H.Hopefully this change can be considered independently of whether the
A \alpha
or\alpha A
convention is preferred in the future. This is related to PR #3640.
