I have written before as I am trying use the DMSwarm library to track particles over a collocated non-uniform mesh with ghost cells.

I have been able to deal with the collocated and ghost cell issues by creating an intermediate DMDA.

However, I lose particles when my mesh is non-uniform. I have re-written a function similar to DMDASetUniformCoordinates but I still have issues when my cells have varying sizes.

I attach a small code to this e-mail that reads particles coordinates from a file and stores them in a DMSwarm structure. My code works well when I use uniform coordinates but whenever I change this, I lose several particles after calling the migration function.</div>

Can it be due to how I define my coordinates? If yes, why? Or is it due to how the migrate function is implmented?
