geoana.em.fdem.MagneticDipoleWholeSpace.dot_orientation

MagneticDipoleWholeSpace.dot_orientation(vecs)

Dot product between the orientation of the source and a gridded set of vectors.

Where \(\mathbf{p}\) is the vector defining the dipole moment direction and \(\mathbf{v}\) is a 3D vector, this method returns the dot product:

\[\mathbf{p} \cdot \mathbf{v}\]

for all vectors \(\mathbf{v}\) supplied in the input argument vecs.

Parameters:

vecs(n, 3) numpy.ndarray

A set of 3D vectors

Returns:

14. numpy.ndarray Dot product between the dipole moment direction (orientation) and each vector supplied.
