(uniform)¶
This module provides a radial profile that is one (1) everywhere.
Summary of options¶
This module has no options.
Example configuration¶
This example illustrates how a uniform radial profile can be defined and used together with the (avalanche) distribution function in SOFT2 simulations:
# Global parameter specifying which distribution function to use
distribution_function = analytical_avalanche;
@DistributionFunction analytical_avalanche (avalanche) {
EHat = 10; # Electric field strength (normalized to
# the Connor-Hastie critical electric field)
lnLambda = 17; # Coulomb logarithm
Zeff = 4; # Effective plasma charge
# Set the radial profile
radprof = ourradprof;
}
@RadialProfile ourradprof (uniform) {}
Note that if the option radprof
of the distribution function is not
specified, a uniform radial profile is automatically generated. Thus, the
following configuration yields the same result as the above:
# Global parameter specifying which distribution function to use
distribution_function = analytical_avalanche;
@DistributionFunction analytical_avalanche (avalanche) {
EHat = 10; # Electric field strength (normalized to
# the Connor-Hastie critical electric field)
lnLambda = 17; # Coulomb logarithm
Zeff = 4; # Effective plasma charge
}
