Detailed Description

The AnnulusGeometry class is a subclass of the SepAxGeometry class, and describes a uniform cylindrical geometry with a cylindrical hole. This geometry can model geometrically thin accretion disks with an inner truncation at \(R_{\text{min}}\), or could be used to build multi-zone disks by combining many annuli.

In formula, this is easily expressed in cylindrical coordinates as

\[ \rho(R, z) = \rho_0\ \quad\text{for } R_{\text{min}}<R<R_{\text{max}} \text{ and } -\frac{h}{2}<z<\frac{h}{2}. \]

The model has three free parameters: the cylinder height \(h\), the radial outer radius \(R_{\text{max}}\) and the inner truncation radius \(R_{\text{min}}\).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ AnnulusGeometry()

AnnulusGeometry::AnnulusGeometry ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass AnnulusGeometry: "an annulus geometry".

Member Function Documentation

◆ density()

double AnnulusGeometry::density ( double R,
double z ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the density \(\rho(R,z)\) at the cylindrical radius \(R\) and height \(z\). It just implements the geometry definition.

Implements AxGeometry.

◆ height()

double AnnulusGeometry::height ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property height: "the annulus height".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The minimum value for this property is "]0".

◆ maxRadius()

double AnnulusGeometry::maxRadius ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxRadius: "the outer radius of the annulus".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The minimum value for this property is "]0".

◆ minRadius()

double AnnulusGeometry::minRadius ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minRadius: "the inner radius of the annulus".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "length".

The minimum value for this property is "[0".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0".

◆ randomCylRadius()

double AnnulusGeometry::randomCylRadius ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the cylindrical radius \(R\) of a random position drawn from the geometry, by picking a uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\) and setting \(R = \sqrt{R_\text{min}^2 + {\cal{X}}_1\,(R_\text{max}^2-R_\text{min}^2)} \).

Implements SepAxGeometry.

◆ randomZ()

double AnnulusGeometry::randomZ ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the height \(z\) of a random position drawn from the geometry, by picking a uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\) and setting \(z = -\frac{h}{2} + {\cal{X}} h\).

Implements SepAxGeometry.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void AnnulusGeometry::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function verifies the validity of the parameters and calculates the uniform density \(\rho_0\). This density is set by the normalisation condition that the total mass equals one, i.e.

\[ \rho_0 = \frac{1}{V} = \frac{1}{(R_{\text{max}}^2 - R_{\text{min}}^2) \pi h}. \]

Reimplemented from SimulationItem.

◆ SigmaR()

double AnnulusGeometry::SigmaR ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the surface density along a line in the equatorial plane starting at the centre of the coordinate system, i.e.

\[ \Sigma_R = \int_0^\infty \rho(R,0)\, {\text{d}}R. \]

For the annulus geometry, we find

\[ \Sigma_R = \rho_0 (R_{\text{max}} - R_{\text{min}}). \]

Implements AxGeometry.

◆ SigmaZ()

double AnnulusGeometry::SigmaZ ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function returns the surface density along the Z-axis, i.e. the integration of the density along the entire Z-axis,

\[ \Sigma_Z = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \rho(0,z)\, {\text{d}}z.\]

For the annulus geometry, we find

\[ \Sigma_Z = \rho_0 h. \]

If there is an inner hole ( \(R_{\text{min}}>0\)), obviously \(\Sigma_Z=0\).

Implements Geometry.
