Detailed Description

GeometricMedium represents a transfer medium for which the spatial material density distribution is characterized by a Geometry object. The material properties are characterized by a single MaterialMix object and are thus identical in all locations. The medium can have a single bulk velocity, i.e. the bulk velocity is identical in all locations.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GeometricMedium()

GeometricMedium::GeometricMedium ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass GeometricMedium : "a transfer medium with a built-in geometry" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ bulkVelocity()

Vec GeometricMedium::bulkVelocity ( Position  bfr) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the bulk velocity of the medium. The same velocity is returned regardless of position.

Implements Medium.

◆ dimension()

int GeometricMedium::dimension ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the dimension of the medium, which is determined by the symmetries of the spatial distribution of its density, bulk velocity (if any) and magnetic field (if any).

Implements Medium.

◆ generatePosition()

Position GeometricMedium::generatePosition ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function generates a random position sampled from the medium's spatial density distribution. Because the conversion from number to mass is the same throughout the medium's spatial domain, there is no difference between sampling from the number density or the mass density.

Implements Medium.

◆ geometry()

GeometricMedium::geometry ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable item property geometry : "the geometry of the spatial density distribution for the medium" .

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "PlummerGeometry" .

◆ hasMagneticField()

bool GeometricMedium::hasMagneticField ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns true if the medium has a nonempty magneticFieldDistribution and a nonzero magneticFieldStrength.

Implements Medium.

◆ hasMetallicity()

bool GeometricMedium::hasMetallicity ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns false because geometric media do not define a metallicity.

Implements Medium.

◆ hasParameters()

bool GeometricMedium::hasParameters ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns false because geometric media do not define custom parameters.

Implements Medium.

◆ hasTemperature()

bool GeometricMedium::hasTemperature ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns false because geometric media do not define a temperature.

Implements Medium.

◆ hasVariableMix()

bool GeometricMedium::hasVariableMix ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function always returns false because a geometric medium has the same dust mix throughout its spatial domain.

Implements Medium.

◆ hasVelocity()

bool GeometricMedium::hasVelocity ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns true if the bulk velocity of the medium is nonzero.

Implements Medium.

◆ magneticField()

Vec GeometricMedium::magneticField ( Position  bfr) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the magnetic field vector of the medium at the specified position. If hasMagneticField() returns true, this function returns the product of the configured magnetic field strength and the vector retrieved from the configured normalized vector field for the given position; otherwise it returns a zero magnetic field.

Implements Medium.

◆ magneticFieldDistribution()

GeometricMedium::magneticFieldDistribution ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable item property magneticFieldDistribution : "the spatial distribution of the magnetic field, if any" .

This property is required only if the Boolean expression "false" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level3" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

◆ magneticFieldStrength()

GeometricMedium::magneticFieldStrength ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property magneticFieldStrength : "the strength of the magnetic field (multiplier)" .

This property represents a physical quantity of type "magneticfield" .

The minimum value for this property is "[-1 T" .

The maximum value for this property is "1 T]" .

This property is relevant only if the Boolean expression "magneticFieldDistribution" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

This property is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level3" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

When a value is entered for this property, the names provided by the conditional value expression "magneticFieldDistribution&magneticFieldStrength:MagneticField" are inserted into the name sets used for evaluating Boolean expressions.

◆ mass()

double GeometricMedium::mass ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the total mass in the medium.

Implements Medium.

◆ massDensity()

double GeometricMedium::massDensity ( Position  bfr) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the mass density of the medium at the specified position.

Implements Medium.

◆ materialMix()

GeometricMedium::materialMix ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable item property materialMix : "the material type and properties throughout the medium" .

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "MeanInterstellarDustMix" .

◆ metallicity()

double GeometricMedium::metallicity ( Position  bfr) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function always returns zero because geometric media do not define a metallicity

Implements Medium.

◆ mix() [1/2]

const MaterialMix * GeometricMedium::mix ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the MaterialMix object defining the material properties for the medium.

Implements Medium.

◆ mix() [2/2]

const MaterialMix * GeometricMedium::mix ( Position  bfr) const

Implements Medium.

◆ parameters()

void GeometricMedium::parameters ( Position  bfr,

Implements Medium.

◆ setupSelfAfter()

void GeometricMedium::setupSelfAfter ( )
