Detailed Description

1-D array of particles, used by aero_state to store the particles.

To give a reasonable tradeoff between frequent re-allocs and memory usage, the length of an aero_particle_array is generally a bit longer than the number of particles stored in it. When the array is full then a larger array is allocated with new extra space. As a balance between memory usage and frequency of re-allocs the length of the array is currently doubled when necessary and halved when possible.

The true allocated length of the aero_particle_array can be obtained by size(aero_particle_array%particle), while the number of used particle slots in it is given by aero_particle_array%n_part. It must be that aero_particle_array%n_part is less than or equal to size(aero_particle_array%particle). In user code, the aero_particle_array_n_part() getter function should be used.q

For internal usage, if particle is not allocated then n_part is invalid. If particle is allocated then n_part must be valid.
