spacepy.pybats.bats.ShellSlice

class spacepy.pybats.bats.ShellSlice(filename, format='binary', *args, **kwargs)

Shell slices are special MHD outputs where the domain is interpolated onto a spherical slice in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. Some examples include radial or azimuthal lines, spherical shells, or 3D wedges.

The Shell class reads and handles these output types.

__init__(filename, format='binary', *args, **kwargs)

Base class for “Data Model” representation data

Abstract method, reimplement

dictionary of the attributes of the SpaceData object

Methods

add_cont_shell(value[, irad, target, loc, ...])	For slices that cover a full hemisphere or more, create a polar plot of variable value.
calc_radflu(var)	For variable var, calculate the radial fluence, or the spatially integrated radial flux through 2D surfaces of constant radius.
calc_radflux(var[, conv])	For variable var, calculate the radial flux of var through each grid point in the slice as self[var]*self['ur'].
calc_urad()	Calculate radial velocity.

For slices that cover a full hemisphere or more, create a polar plot of variable value.

Extra keywords are sent to the matplotlib contour command.

calc_radflu(var)

For variable var, calculate the radial fluence, or the spatially integrated radial flux through 2D surfaces of constant radius.

Resulting variable stored as “var_rflu”. Result will be an array with one value for each radial distance within the object.

calc_radflux(var, conv=1000000000.0)

For variable var, calculate the radial flux of var through each grid point in the slice as self[var]*self[‘ur’]. Resulting value stored as “var_rflx”.

calc_urad()

Calculate radial velocity.
