    public class FieldBrouwerLyddanePropagator<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
    extends FieldAbstractAnalyticalPropagator<T>
    This class propagates a FieldSpacecraftState using the analytical Brouwer-Lyddane model (from J2 to J5 zonal harmonics).

    At the opposite of the FieldEcksteinHechlerPropagator, the Brouwer-Lyddane model is suited for elliptical orbits, there is no problem having a rather small eccentricity or inclination (Lyddane helped to solve this issue with the Brouwer model). Singularity for the critical inclination i = 63.4° is avoided using the method developed in Warren Phipps' 1992 thesis.

    By default, Brouwer-Lyddane model considers only the perturbations due to zonal harmonics. However, for low Earth orbits, the magnitude of the perturbative acceleration due to atmospheric drag can be significant. Warren Phipps' 1992 thesis considered the atmospheric drag by time derivatives of the mean mean anomaly using the catch-all coefficient M2Driver. Usually, M2 is adjusted during an orbit determination process and it represents the combination of all unmodeled secular along-track effects (i.e. not just the atmospheric drag). The behavior of M2 is close to the FieldTLE.getBStar() parameter for the TLE. If the value of M2 is equal to 0.0, the along-track secular effects are not considered in the dynamical model. Typical values for M2 are not known. It depends on the orbit type. However, the value of M2 must be very small (e.g. between 1.0e-14 and 1.0e-15). The unit of M2 is rad/s². The along-track effects, represented by the secular rates of the mean semi-major axis and eccentricity, are computed following Eq. 2.38, 2.41, and 2.45 of Warren Phipps' thesis.

        Conversion from osculating to mean orbit.

        Compute mean orbit in a Brouwer-Lyddane sense, corresponding to the osculating SpacecraftState in input.

        Since the osculating orbit is obtained with the computation of short-periodic variation, the resulting output will depend on both the gravity field parameterized in input and the atmospheric drag represented by the m2 parameter.

        The computation is done through a fixed-point iteration process.

        Type Parameters:
        T - type of the filed elements
        Parameters:
        osculating - osculating orbit to convert
        provider - for un-normalized zonal coefficients
        harmonics - provider.onDate(osculating.getDate())
        M2Value - value of empirical drag coefficient in rad/s². If equal to BrouwerLyddanePropagator.M2 drag is not considered
        Returns:
        mean orbit in a Brouwer-Lyddane sense
