class solar : public module_base

Calculates solar position

Depends:

• None

Provides:

• Solar elevation “solar_el” [degrees]

• Solar azimuth “solar_az” [degrees]

Provides:

• Sky view view “svf” [-]

Configuration:

{
   "svf":

Public Functions

solar(config_file cfg)

~solar()

virtual void run(mesh_elem &face)

Needs to be implemented by each data parallel module. This will be called and executed for each timestep

Parameters:

• face – The terrain element (triangle) to be worked upon for an element parallel domain

• global_param – A pointer to the shared global paramter space with domain-wide paramters

virtual void init(mesh &domain)
