Shell

Shell.wind_v_at_rmin

The velocity of a shell wind at the inner edge of the shell - the variation of the velocity in the shell is set by the velocity law exponent. It allows a gradient to be enforced.

Type: Double

Unit: cm/s

Values: Greater than or equal to 0

File: shell_wind.c

Shell.wind.radmax

Multi-line description, must keep indentation.

Type: Double

Unit: cm

Values: Greater than :ref:`Shell.wind.radmin`

File: shell_wind.c

Shell.wind_mdot

The mass loss through a diagnostic shell type wind. One normally sets this experimentally in order to get a required hydrogen density in the shell

Type: Double

Unit: M☉/year

Values: Greater than 0

Shell.wind.v_at_rmax

The velocity of a shell wind at the outer edge of the shell - the variation of the velocity in the shell is set by the velocity law exponent. It allows a gradient to be enforced.

Type: Double

Unit: cm/s

Values: Greater than or equal to 0

Shell.wind.radmin

The innermost edge of a diagnostic type of wind made up of a single (ideally thin) shell.

Type: Double

Unit: cm

Values: Greater than 0

File: shell_wind.c

Shell.wind.acceleration_exponent

Exponent beta for the Caster and Lamers description of a stellar wind v(r)=v_o + (v_inf - v_o) (1+R_s/r)**beta for a shell wind.

Type: Double

Values: Greater than or equal to 0
