Category

Macros

Function

Extracts various MHD scalars from a LFM model HDF file.

Syntax


output_1 = ExtractMHDScalars(input_1);

Inputs
Name Type Default Description
input_1 field none mhd field list

Outputs
Name Type Description
output_1 group list of MHD scalars

Functional Details

Processes the mhd output field from readmhdhdf.

output_1

contains the following list of 20 magnetohydrodynamic quantities:
density [particles/cm^3]
velocity field {Vx,Vy,Yz} components and speed [km/sec]
pressure [keV/cm^3]
magnetic field {Bx,By,Bz} components and magnitude [nT]
electric field {Ex,Ey,Ez} components and magnitude [V.m]
electric current {Jx,Jy,Jz} components and magnitude [micro A/m^2]
the dot-products between current and electric or magnetic field
