Detailed Description

Models a constant Earth rate vector for all coordinates. This is appropriate for ECEF, topocentric, and local coordinate systems where the coordinate basis is fixed relative to Earth and the Earth rate vector remains constant.

Unlike EllipsoidalEarthRate which computes the Earth rate vector in varying local bases (for curvilinear coordinates), ConstantEarthRate returns the same vector regardless of the input coordinates or their basis.

Note

This model is useful for simulations in fixed coordinate frames or when Earth rate is pre-computed and constant in the simulation frame.

Public Functions Documentation

function ConstantEarthRate

Construct from an Earth rate vector.

explicit inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::ConstantEarthRate (
    const  Vector3D & earth_rate
) 

Parameters:

  • earth_rate 3x1 Earth rate vector (rad/s).

function Magnitude [1/5]

Return Earth rate magnitude at the given coordinates.

virtual Scalar1D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Magnitude (
    const  Coordinates & coordinates
) override const

The Earth rate magnitude is constant so the coordinates are not used but the interface is maintained for consistency.

Parameters:

  • coordinates Array of coordinates.

Returns:

Magnitudes.

Implements inertialsim::geodesy::Field::Magnitude


function Magnitude [2/5]

Return magnitude at the given coordinates.

virtual Scalar1D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Magnitude (
    const  Coordinates & coordinates
) const

Parameters:

  • coordinates Array of coordinates.

Returns:

Magnitudes.

Implements inertialsim::geodesy::Field::Magnitude


function Magnitude [3/5]

Return magnitude at the given coordinates.

Scalar1D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Magnitude (
    const  Array3D & coordinates,
    CoordinateSystem default_frame=CoordinateSystem::GEODETIC
) const

Parameters:

  • coordinates Coordinates in raw form (e.g. geodetic).
  • default_frame Coordinate system corresponding to the coordinate input.

Returns:

Magnitudes.


function Magnitude [4/5]

Return magnitude at the given coordinates.

Scalar1D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Magnitude (
    const  geometry::Vector & coordinates,
    CoordinateSystem default_frame=CoordinateSystem::LOCAL
) const

Parameters:

  • coordinates Coordinates.
  • default_frame Coordinate system corresponding to the coordinate input.

Returns:

Magnitudes.


function Magnitude [5/5]

Return magnitude at the given coordinates.

Scalar1D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Magnitude (
    const  Vector3D & coordinates,
    CoordinateSystem default_frame=CoordinateSystem::LOCAL
) const

Parameters:

  • coordinates Coordinates in raw form (e.g. local xyz).
  • default_frame Coordinate system corresponding to the coordinate input.

Returns:

Magnitudes.


function Vector [1/4]

Return the vector field at the given coordinates.

inline Vector3D inertialsim::geodesy::ConstantEarthRate::Vector (
    const  Coordinates & coordinates,
    const std::optional< CoordinateSystem > & basis=std::nullopt
) const

By default, the vector components will be expressed in the basis associated with the coordinates. For curvilinear systems (e.g. geodetic), the basis is the local basis at the given coordinates. If basis is supplied, it will be used instead.

Note

For curvilinear coordinate systems like geodetic coordinates, the default basis is the local tangent plane basis at each coordinate location. For Cartesian systems like ECEF, the basis is constant.

Parameters:

  • coordinates Array of coordinates.
  • basis Optional basis in which to return the vector. If not specified, uses the basis associated with the coordinates.

Returns:

Vectors.

) const

Parameters:

  • coordinates Coordinates in raw form (e.g. geodetic).
  • default_frame Coordinate system corresponding to the coordinate input.
  • basis Optional basis in which to return the vector.

Returns:
