Detailed Description

The ShellGeometry class is a subclass of the SpheGeometry class and describes the geometry of a spherical shell, where the density behaves as a power law between an inner and an outer radius,

\[ \rho(r) = A\,r^{-p} \qquad\qquad r_{\text{min}} < r < r_{\text{max}}. \]

with \(A\) a normalization constant. Obviously the condition \(r_{\text{min}} < r_{\text{max}}\) should be satisfied. This geometry is characterized by three free parameters: the inner radius \(r_{\text{min}}\), the outer radius \(r_{\text{max}}\) and the power law exponent \(p\).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ShellGeometry()

ShellGeometry::ShellGeometry ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass ShellGeometry : "a shell geometry" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ density()

double ShellGeometry::density ( double  r) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the density \(\rho(r)\) at the radius \(r\). It just implements the analytical formula.

Implements SpheGeometry.

◆ exponent()

double ShellGeometry::exponent ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property exponent : "the power law exponent" .

◆ maxRadius()

ShellGeometry::maxRadius ( ) const
inline

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

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

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

◆ minRadius()

ShellGeometry::minRadius ( ) const
inline

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

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

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

◆ randomRadius()

double ShellGeometry::randomRadius ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the radius of a random position drawn from the shell density distribution. This is accomplished by generating a uniform deviate \({\cal{X}}\), and solving the equation

\[ {\cal{X}} = M(r) = 4\pi \int_0^r \rho(r')\, r'{}^2\, {\text{d}}r' \]

for \(r\). For the shell geometry, with \(p\ne3\), we find

\[ {\cal{X}} = \frac{r^{3-p}-r_{\text{min}}^{3-p}} {r_{\text{max}}^{3-p}-r_{\text{min}}^{3-p}}. \]

Inverting this results in

\[ r = \left[ (1-{\cal{X}})\,r_{\text{min}}^{3-p} + {\cal{X}}\,r_{\text{max}}^{3-p} \right]^{\frac{1}{3-p}}. \]

For \(p=3\) this expression does not hold, and for \(p\approx3\) it breaks down numerically. So for \(p\approx3\) we can write the general expression

\[ r = {\text{gexp}}_{p-2} \Big[ {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} + {\cal{X}}\,( {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} ) \Bigr]. \]

In this expression, \({\text{gln}}_p\,x\) and \({\text{gexp}}_p\,x\) are the generalized logarithm and exponential functions defined in SpecialFunctions::gln and SpecialFunctions::gexp respectively.

Implements SpheGeometry.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void ShellGeometry::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function verifies the validity of the attributes. The normalization parameter \(A\) is set by the normalization condition that total mass equals one, i.e.

\[ 1 = 4\pi A \int_{r_{\text{min}}}^{r_{\text{max}}} r^{2-p}\, {\text{d}}r. \]

This results in

\[ A = \frac{1}{4\pi}\, \frac{1}{ {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_{p-2}\, r_{\text{min}} }, \]

with \({\text{gln}}_p\,x\) the generalized logarithm defined in SpecialFunctions::gln.

Reimplemented from Geometry.

◆ Sigmar()

double ShellGeometry::Sigmar ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the radial surface density, i.e. the integration of the density along a line starting at the centre of the coordinate system,

\[ \Sigma_r = \int_0^\infty \rho(r)\,{\text{d}}r. \]

For the shell geometry, one obtains

\[ \Sigma_r = A\, ( {\text{gln}}_p\, r_{\text{max}} - {\text{gln}}_p\, r_{\text{min}} ) \]

with \({\text{gln}}_p\,x\) the generalized logarithm defined in SpecialFunctions::gln.

Implements SpheGeometry.
