Plasma3D¶

class plasmapy.plasma.sources.Plasma3D(domain_x, domain_y, domain_z)¶

Core class for describing and calculating plasma parameters with spatial dimensions.

x¶

x-coordinates within the plasma domain. Equal to the domain_x input parameter.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

y¶

y-coordinates within the plasma domain. Equal to the domain_y input parameter.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

z¶

z-coordinates within the plasma domain. Equal to the domain_z input parameter.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

grid¶

(3, x, y, z) array containing the values of each coordinate at every point in the domain.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

domain_shape¶

Shape of the plasma domain.

Type:	tuple

density¶

(x, y, z) array of mass density at every point in the domain.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

momentum¶

(3, x, y, z) array of the momentum vector at every point in the domain.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

pressure¶

(x, y, z) array of pressure at every point in the domain.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

magnetic_field¶

(3, x, y, z) array of the magnetic field vector at every point in the domain.

Type:	`astropy.units.Quantity`

Parameters:	domain_x (`astropy.units.Quantity`) – 1D array of x-coordinates for the plasma domain. Must have units convertable to length. domain_y (`astropy.units.Quantity`) – 1D array of y-coordinates for the plasma domain. Must have units convertable to length. domain_z (`astropy.units.Quantity`) – 1D array of z-coordinates for the plasma domain. Must have units convertable to length.
