advectionFspiralCE function

Spiraling advection field satisfying continuity equation

Provides an advection field corresponding to a spiral motion to/from a specified reference point (sink) satisfying continuity equation (from GitHub).

advectionFspiralCE(spacepoints, a, C)

Arguments

• spacepoints: vector of coordinates (2 x d), where d is the number of locations/grid points
• a: parameter controlling the intensity of rotational velocity (a > 0 clokwise; a < 0 conter-clockwise)
• C: parameter ranging in (0, 2*pi)

Examples

library(ggquiver)
library(ggplot2)
## specify coordinates
m = 25
aux <- seq(0, m - 1, length = m)
coord <- expand.grid(aux, aux)

af <- advectionFspiralCE(spacepoints = coord,
                        a = 5,
                        C = 1)

## visualize advection field
dta <- data.frame(lon = coord[ ,1], lat = coord[ ,2], u = af[ ,1], v = af[ ,2])
ggplot(dta, aes(x = lon, y = lat, u = u, v = v)) +
geom_quiver() +
theme_light()
