GeometryVparMu

The geometry folder contains a helper file geometry.hpp which provides shortcuts to the types needed to define the 2D velocity geometry (vpar,mu).

  • Concerning the 3D space, several coordinate systems are used:
  • Vpar : the parallel velocity
  • Mu : the magnetic momentum (i.e \(\mu = \frac{v_{\perp}^2}{2B}\))
  • V2D = (Vpar, Mu)
