Prism (pygeoid.simple.prism)¶
-
class
pygeoid.simple.prism.
Prism
(bounds, density=1.0)[source]¶ External gravitational field of the right rectangular prism.
Parameters: - bounds ((x1, x2, y1, y2, z1, z2), floats) – West, east, south, north, top and bottom of the prism, in metres.
- density (float) – Density of the prism, in kg/m**3.
Notes
The formulas from Nagy et al.[1]_ are used in this class.
