(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
}
