estimateNumHalosUniform()

size_t autopas::utils::NumParticlesEstimator::estimateNumHalosUniform	(	size_t	numParticles,
		const std::array< double, 3 > &	boxMin,
		const std::array< double, 3 > &	boxMax,
		double	haloWidth
	)

Given a number of particles and the dimensions of a box, estimate the number of halo particles.

Assumptions:

• Uniform particle distribution.
• Cuboid particle container.
• Halo width is the same in all dimensions.

  Parameters

  numParticles
  boxMin
  boxMax
  haloWidth

  Returns

  Estimated number of halo particles.
