inscar.experimental package

Submodules

inscar.experimental.extra_vdfs module

Extra, experimental velocity distribution functions.

class inscar.experimental.extra_vdfs.VdfGaussShell(params, particle)

Bases: Vdf

Create an object that make Gauss shell distribution functions.

This implementation need more testing and refining.

Parameters:

• params (Parameters)

• particle (Particle)

f_0()

Define the phase space velocity distribution.

Return type:

ndarray

normalize()

Normalize the VDF.

Return type:

None

class inscar.experimental.extra_vdfs.VdfKappa2(params, particle)

Bases: Vdf

Create an object that make kappa vol. 2 distribution functions.

Notes

Kappa VDF used in dispersion relation paper by Ziebell, Gaelzer and Simões [8]. Defined by Leubner [9].
