Homologous

Homologous.radmin

The starting point of for madel of a homologous flow, a model in which the velocity at any radius is proportional to the radius

Type: Double

Unit: cm

Values: Greater than or equal to :ref:`Central_object.radius`

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`Wind.type`: homologous

File: homologous.c

Homologous.radmax

Maximum extent of the homologous wind.

Type: Double

Unit: cm

Values: Greater than :ref:`Homologous.radmin`

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`Wind.type`: homologous

File: homologous.c

Homologous.density_exponent

The power law exponent which defines the decline in density of a homologous flow as a function of radious.

Type: Double

Values: Greater than 0 for a density that declines with radius

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`Wind.type`: homologous

File: homologous.c

Homologous.vbase

Velocity at the base of the wind

Type: Double

Unit: cm

Values: Greater than 0

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`Wind.type`: homologous

File: homologous.c

Homologous.boundary_mdot

The mass loss rate at the base of the wind in a homlogous flow model, a flow in which the velocity is proporional to the radius. In general, mdot will decline with radius, depending on the exponent of the power law that describes the trend in density.

Type: Double

Unit: M☉/yr

Values: Greater than 0

Parent(s):

  • :ref:`Wind.type`: homologous

File: homologous.c
