instead of OUT_OF_DOMAIN?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Because the (current position inside domain + computed velocity * time)
is returned - this final result is out of domain as you noticed, but
until you pass that new position value back in and ask for the next
point, it doesn't check that the value is in/out.<br>
<br>
It checks that the start point, and all intermediate computed points
are inside the domain, but if the final result pops out - then it means
that the final step was too big (or the data was a bit rubbish -
typically when every Nth time step is saved - the courant condition is
no longer satisfied etc etc).<br>
<br>
does that help?<br>

<div>Hi Fred:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> As JB suggested, please try using RK45, which employs an
adaptive step size that is insensitive to the velocity magnitude and
hence is capable of capturing accurate shape of the curve (flow line).
Using RK4 (still adopting a fixed step size) does not guarantee a
sufficient / desired acurracy of numerical integration (though
certainly it is better than RK2) since it is stil sensitive to the
velocity magnitude.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Recently we improved the flow line integration accuracy
issue. For any problems, please feel free to let us know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Thanks.</div>

<div>I suggest you attach a debugger to the code and step through.
Then you'll be able to answer your question. <br>
<br>
Since the velocity field of your data may be high, it is entirely
possible that the computed next position is outside of the bounds.
Perhaps reducing the step size will help. Try even Rk4.5 with adaptive
steps, this may help if the velocity gradient at the edge of the domain
is very large..<br>
