  • Method Details

    • getFrame

      Frame getFrame()
      Get the frame of the central body.
      Returns:
      frame of the central body.
      Since:
      6.0

    • getDensity

      double getDensity(AbsoluteDate date, Vector3D position, Frame frame)
      Get the local density.
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      position - current position in frame
      frame - the frame in which is defined the position
      Returns:
      local density (kg/m³)

    • getDensity

      <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> T getDensity(FieldAbsoluteDate<T> date, FieldVector3D<T> position, Frame frame)
      Get the local density.
      Type Parameters:
      T - instance of CalculusFieldElement
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      position - current position in frame
      frame - the frame in which is defined the position
      Returns:
      local density (kg/m³)

    • getVelocity

      default Vector3D getVelocity(AbsoluteDate date, Vector3D position, Frame frame)
      Get the inertial velocity of atmosphere molecules.

      By default, atmosphere is supposed to have a null velocity in the central body frame.

      Parameters:
      date - current date
      position - current position in frame
      frame - the frame in which is defined the position
      Returns:
      velocity (m/s) (defined in the same frame as the position)

    • getVelocity

      default <T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> FieldVector3D<T> getVelocity(FieldAbsoluteDate<T> date, FieldVector3D<T> position, Frame frame)
      Get the inertial velocity of atmosphere molecules.
      Type Parameters:
      T - instance of CalculusFieldElement
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      position - current position in frame
      frame - the frame in which is defined the position
      Returns:
      velocity (m/s) (defined in the same frame as the position)
