timflow.steady.model.Model.intnormflux_segment#

timflow.steady.model.Model.intnormflux_segment(x1, y1, x2, y2, method='legendre', ndeg=10)#

Integrated normal (perpendicular) flux over specified line segment.

Flux to the left is positive when going from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2).

Parameters:

  • x1 (float)

  • y1 (float)

  • x2 (float)

  • y2 (float)

  • method (str, optional) – integration method, either “quad” (numerical integration using scipy) or “legendre” (approximate integral using Gauss-Legendre quadrature), by default “legendre”.

  • ndeg (int, optional) – degree for legendre polynomial, by default 10, only used when method=”legendre”

Returns:

Qn – integrated normal flux along specified line

Return type:

np.array
