Function adas.adf04_om2ups

Converts a collision strength adf04 file (type 1 or type 5) to an effective collision strength (type 3 or 4) adf04 file. Non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution functions (EEDF) may be specified.

Parameters

adf04_in : str

full name of type 1 or type 5 adf04 file.

adf04_out : str

full name of converted type 3 or 4 adf04 file.

adf37 : str

full name of electron energy distribution file.

adf04_type : int

If the numerical EEDF is Maxwellian set this to 3 for symmetric effective collision strengths. The default is 4 for separate upward and downward rates.

kappa : float

If set assume a kappa EEDF with this parameter.

x : float

If set assume a Druyvesteyn EEDF with this parameter.

te : float, array

Optional set of electron temperatures. Not used for numerical EEDFs (adf37).

te_type : str

Options are 'Kelvin', 'eV' or 'reduced'.

inst_file : str, optional

full name of instruction file to use with cli adas7#3.

ndlev : int, optional

maximum number of levels in adf04 file - defaults is 4500

ndtrn : int, optional

maximum number of transitions in adf04 file - default is 250000

Returns

nothing - the output is a file written to disk

 

Notes

Convenience function to call the adas7#3 adf04_om2ups code.

This function required a named input and output adf04 file unlike the adas7#3 code which assumes names if not supplied.

The instruction file for command line use of adas7#3/adf04_om2ups.x is an optional output, perhaps for replaying or provenance reasons.

Example

Convert the type 5 distorted wave ar12 adf04 file to a standard Maxwell-averaged adf04 file

>>> import adas as adas
>>> adf04_in='/home/adas/adas/adf04/cophps#c/dw/ic#ar12_t5.dat'
>>> adas.adf04_om2ups(adf04_in=adf04_in, adf04_out='/tmp/ic#ar12.dat')

The output file should be the same as /home/adas/adas/adf04/cophps#c/dw/ic#ar12.dat
