</PRE>
<UL><LI><I>number1</I> = max number of cells covered by a partilce (search will fail when more than <I>number1</I> cells are covered by the particle)
<LI><I>number2</I> = mininmum limit for voidfraction
<LI><I>number3</I> = diameter of the particle's representation is artificially increased according to <I>number3</I> * Vparticle, volume remains unaltered!

<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>The Gauss voidFraction model is supposed to be used when a particle (or it's representation) is bigger than a CFD cell. The voidfraction field is set in those cell whose centres are inside the particle. The volume is here distributed according to a Gaussian dirstibution.
</P>
<P>The region of influence of a particle can be increased artificially by "scaleUpVol", which blows up the particles, but keeps their volume (for voidfraction calculation) constant.
</P>
<P><B>Restrictions:</B> none.
