Homologous Parameters

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 Central_object.radius

Parent(s)

• Wind.type: homologous

File: homologous.c

Homologous.radmax

Maximum extent of the homologous wind.

Type

Double

Unit

cm

Values

Greater than Homologous.radmin

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

• Wind.type: homologous

Homologous.vbase

Velocity at the base of the wind

Type

Double

Unit

cm

Values

Greater than 0

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.
