Function `adas.run_adas211`

def run_adas211(file=None, adf37=None, kappa=None, x=None, adf08=None, rlines=None, logfile=None)

Runs the adas211 radiative recombination generation code.

Parameters

file : str: full name of ADAS adf08 driver file
adf37 : str: full name of optional ADAS adf37 numerical, electron energy distribution file
kappa : float: optional parameter for kappa distribution
x : float: optional parameter for Druyvestyn distribution
adf08 : str: name of an adf08 formatted output file
rlines : str: name of a file containing the R-lines
logfile : str: name of log file, defaults to no output file

Returns

nothing - output files are written to disk

Notes

The usual, and default, operation is to generate R-lines for plasmas with a Maxwellian electron energy distribution function.

For numerical EEDFs supply an adf37 file and for kappa or Druyvesteyn functions the kappa or x parameter are required. Choose just one of these options.

Calls a fortran executable code and communicates via a bi-directional pipe connected to stdout.
