SV Parameters
The angle at which the wind rises from the outermost launching radius in a Shlossman-Vitello type disk wind. This angle is measured with respect to the vertical (z) direction i.e. zero describes a vertical wind. See figure 1 of Shlossman & Vitello 1993, ApJ 409,372.
Double
Degrees
Greater than sv.thetamin

Wind.type:
SV
File: sv.c
Power-law acceleration exponent (i.e. alpha) of a line driven wind in a Shlosman & Vitello (SV) CV disk wind model. Sets the length scale over which the accleration to v_inf is accomplished. This value is a constant; when equal to 1 the results resemble those of a linear velocity law. Typically for an SV type wind this power law exponent is 1.5. See equation (2) Shlosman & Vitello 1993, ApJ 409, 372.
Double
Greater than 0

Wind.type:
SV
File: sv.c
The innermost radius from which the wind rises in a Shlossman-Vitello type disk wind. This radius is measured along the radial disk (r) direction i.e. zero describes the centre of the central object (white dwarf) See figure 1 of Shlosman & Vitello 1993, ApJ 409,372.

Wind.type:

File: sv.c
The outermost radius from which the wind rises in a Shlossman-Vitello type disk wind. This radius is measured along the radial disk (r) direction i.e. zero describes the centre of the central object (white dwarf) See figure 1 of Shlosman & Vitello 1993, ApJ 409,372.
Double

Greater than or equal to sv.diskmin (inner radius disk wind)

The size of the acceleration length scale for a disk wind described by the Shlosman Vitelo model. See equation (2) Shlosman & Vitelo ApJ (1993),409,372

The exponent for the mass loss rate as defined in the Shlosman Vitelo model, See lambda in equation (4) Shlosman & Vitelo,ApJ,1993,409,372.
Double
Greater than or equal to 0. 0 sets a uniform mass loss rate.

Asymptotic (i.e. final) velocity of a line driven wind in a Shlosman & Vitello CV disk wind model. Assumed to scale with the local velocity at the base of the streamline. See equation (2) Shlosman & Vitello 1993, ApJ 409, 372.

Wind.type:
SV
File: sv.c
The angle at which the wind rises from the innermost launching radius in a Shlossman-Vitello type disk wind. This angle is measured with respect to the vertical (z) direction. I.e. zero descirbes a vertical wind. See figure 1 of Shlossman & Vitello 1993, ApJ, 409, 372.
