<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">I've been working on a Laser Driven simulation for a while now. It's a case similar to the LaserSlab simulation. From what I understand, the total energy deposition from Laser at any time instant should equal the increase
in total energy at that instant. I've this <span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols;font-size:16px"><b>lasslab_LaserEnergyProfile.dat
</b>file that has information about energy deposition <b><i>(in ergs</i></b>) at each time step. However, since it's a 2D cylindrical domain, the total energy I get from the simulation is
<b style="font-style:italic">in ergs per some length. </b>How do I take the azimuthal direction of the cylinder to account for the length factor to get the total energy? I Just wanted to look at the energy balance between total energy and laser deposition
energy.</span></p>
