tardis.transport.montecarlo.nonhomologous_grid module¶
- tardis.transport.montecarlo.nonhomologous_grid.quartic_roots(a, b, c, d, e, threshold)[source]¶
Solves ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e = 0, for the real roots greater than the threshold returns (x - threshold). Uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function#General_formula_for_roots
- Parameters:
- a, b, c, d, e: coefficients of the equations ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e = 0, float
- threshold: lower needed limit on roots, float
- Returns
- ———–
- roots: real positive roots of ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e = 0
- tardis.transport.montecarlo.nonhomologous_grid.tau_sobolev_factor(r_packet, geometry)[source]¶
The angle and velocity dependent Tau Sobolev factor component. Is called when ENABLE_NONHOMOLOGOUS_EXPANSION is set to True.
Note: to get Tau Sobolev, this needs to be multiplied by tau_sobolevs found from plasma Parameters ———- r_packet: RPacket geometry: Geometry
- Returns:
- factor = 1.0 / ((1 - mu * mu) * v / r + mu * mu * dvdr)
