Trying to fix weighting scheme
Now particles can be split to increase statistics when they enter a smaller cell. However, this only has an effect for collisions. Still, I have to rethink a lot about this feature.

\section{Variable Weighting Scheme\label{sec:weightingScheme}}
|
||||
One of the issues in particle simulations, specially for axial-symmetrical cases, is that due to the disparate volume of cells, specially close to the axis, the statistics in some cells is usually poor.
|
||||
To try to fix that, the possibility to include a Variable Weighting Scheme in the simulations is available in \Gls{fpakc}.
|
||||
These schemes detect when a particle change cells and modify its weight accordingly.
|
||||
To avoid particles having a larger weight than the rest, particle can be split in multiple particles if weight become too large.
|
||||
These schemes detect when a particle change cells and split it if necessary to improve statistics.
|
||||
The use of a Variable Weighting Scheme is defined by the user in the input file.
|
||||
|
||||
Beware that this can increase the number of particles in the simulation and increase computational time.
