Attributes Documentation

magnetic_flux¶: The normalization for the magnetic flux or vector potential.

volumetric_heating_rate¶: The normalization for the volumetric heating rate.

volumetric_rate¶

The normalization for a volumetric rate.

This normalization is applicable to, for example, the number of collisions per unit volume per unit time.
