public class AtmosphericDragForce
extends ForceModel
implements IPartialDifferentiable

A simple model of atmospheric drag on a body according to its coefficient of drag and reference cross-sectional area. This model does not account for aerodynamic lift and is generally used for orbiting bodies which are perturbed by the atmosphere. The details of the model are specified by choosing which density model to use for the atmosphere.

                            Scalar coefficientOfDrag,
                            Scalar referenceArea)

Initializes a Vector describing the drag force on an object.

AtmosphericDragForce

protected AtmosphericDragForce(@Nonnull
                               AtmosphericDragForce existingInstance,
                               @Nonnull
                               CopyContext context)

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor in a derived class.

Parameters:

existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.

context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone(CopyContext context)

Clones this object using the specified context.

This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.

A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:

public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}

In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:

1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.

If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.

alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}

If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:

1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;

Specified by:

clone in interface ICloneWithContext

Specified by:

clone in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

context - The context to use to perform the copy.

Returns:

A new instance which is a copy of this object.

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(ForceModel other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class ForceModel

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(AtmosphericDragForce other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the AtmosphericDragForce.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.celestial.ForceModel) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class ForceModel

Returns:

The computed hash code.

enumerateDependencies

public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.

Specified by:

enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies

Overrides:

enumerateDependencies in class ForceModel

Parameters:

enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.

getDensity

public final ScalarAtmosphericDensity getDensity()

Gets the object which calculates density at the object's location, note that this ScalarAtmosphericDensity also holds the central body and position data.

setDensity

public final void setDensity(ScalarAtmosphericDensity value)

Sets the object which calculates density at the object's location, note that this ScalarAtmosphericDensity also holds the central body and position data.

getTargetPoint

public final Point getTargetPoint()

Gets the point at which the drag is applied from the TargetPoint (get / set) of the Density (get / set). If the Density (get / set) property is null, then this property will also return null.

getDefinedInAxes

public final Axes getDefinedInAxes()

Gets the Axes in which this force is defined. For drag, the Axes are taken from the fixed frame of the CentralBody used for the Density (get / set). Also note that while the drag force is defined in the fixed frame, forces are considered to be "inertial" for the purposes of Newtonian kinematics, and no kinematic transformation apart from a simple rotation is necessary when converting to an inertial frame. If the Density (get / set) property is null, then this property will also return null.

getCoefficientOfDrag

public final Scalar getCoefficientOfDrag()

Gets the drag coefficient of the object.

setCoefficientOfDrag

public final void setCoefficientOfDrag(Scalar value)

Sets the drag coefficient of the object.

getReferenceArea

public final Scalar getReferenceArea()

Gets the cross-sectional area of the object.

setReferenceArea

public final void setReferenceArea(Scalar value)

Sets the cross-sectional area of the object.

getDimension

public final int getDimension()

Gets the dimension of the values produced by the object. For example, Vectors would have a dimension of three, and Scalars of one. A PartialDerivativesEvaluator created by this type will have a RowDimension (get) equal to this property, and a ColumnDimension (get) equal to the summation of the dimensions of the independent variables that this object is dependent on.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface IPartialDifferentiable
