Allow to set Beta of Moving Window

Allow the use to set the beta of the moving window

• range [0.0:1.0]
• default value: 1.0

cool 👍

[f-schmitt]

Yeah, super cool :) What's beta?

[ax3l]

Beta is just he normalized speed of the moving window in respect to the speed of light. Since the range of this is usually [ 0.0; 1.0 ] it works as a quite convenient scaling:

Right now, our beta is 1.0 (=c).

Some processes, like ion acoustic shocks, propagate slower than the vacuum speed of light. In that case one might like to track the shock front and not a fast propagating laser.

Got it!

after several refactorings that is easy to implement by now and really needed.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the addition of a user-factor here.

@steindev is this issues still relevant?

[psychocoderHPC]

Yes, this is still relevant, we have one point where all is already implemented but we do not expose the beta factor currently.
