geoana.gravity.Prism

class geoana.gravity.Prism(min_location, max_location, rho=1.0)

Class for gravitational solutions for a prism.

The Prism class is used to analytically compute the gravitational potentials, fields, and gradients for a prism with constant denisty.

Parameters:

min_location(3,) array_like

(x, y, z) triplet of the minimum locations in each dimension

max_location(3,) array_like

(x, y, z) triplet of the maximum locations in each dimension

rhofloat, optional

Density of prism (\(\frac{kg}{m^3}\)).

Attributes

location	The center of the prism
mass	The mass of the prism
max_location	Location of the point mass.
min_location	Location of the point mass.
rho	The density of the prism.
volume	The volume of the prism

Methods

gravitational_field(xyz)	Gravitational field due to a prism.
gravitational_gradient(xyz)	Gravitational gradient due to a prism.
gravitational_potential(xyz)	Gravitational potential due to a prism.
