FortranTracer¶
-
class
pfsspy.tracing.FortranTracer(max_steps=1000, step_size=0.1)¶ Bases:
pfsspy.tracing.TracerTracer using Fortran code.
- Parameters
- max_steps: int, optional
Maximum number of steps each streamline can take before stopping.
- step_sizefloat, optional
Step size as a fraction of cell size at the equator.
Notes
Because the stream tracing is done in spherical coordinates, there is a singularity at the poles (ie. \(s = \pm 1\)), which means seeds placed directly on the poles will not go anywhere.
