Northing-northing component of the gravitational tensor due to a prism
Returns the northing-northing component of the gravitational tensor produced by a single rectangular prism on a single computation point.
- Parameters
easting (float) – Easting coordinate of the observation point. Must be in meters.
northing (float) – Northing coordinate of the observation point. Must be in meters.
upward (float) – Upward coordinate of the observation point. Must be in meters.
prism (1d-array) – One dimensional array containing the coordinates of the prism in the following order:
west,east,south,north,bottom,topin a Cartesian coordinate system. All coordinates should be in meters.
- Returns
g_nn (float) – Northing-northing component of the gravitational tensor generated by the rectangular prism on the observation point in \(\text{m}/\text{s}^2\).
Notes
Returns the northing-northing component \(g_{yy}(\mathbf{p})\) of the gravitational tensor \(\mathbf{T}\) on the observation point \(\mathbf{p} = (x_p, y_p, z_p)\) generated by a single rectangular prism defined by its boundaries \(x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2, z_1, z_2\) and with a density \(\rho\):
\[g_{yy}(\mathbf{p}) = G \rho \,\, \Bigg\lvert \Bigg\lvert \Bigg\lvert k_{yy}(x, y, z) \Bigg\rvert_{X_1}^{X_2} \Bigg\rvert_{Y_1}^{Y_2} \Bigg\rvert_{Z_1}^{Z_2}\]where
\[k_{yy}(x, y, z) = - \text{arctan2} \left( \frac{zx}{yr} \right),\]\[r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2},\]and
\[\begin{split}X_1 = x_1 - x_p \\ X_2 = x_2 - x_p \\ Y_1 = y_1 - y_p \\ Y_2 = y_2 - y_p \\ Z_1 = z_1 - z_p \\ Z_2 = z_2 - z_p\end{split}\]are the shifted coordinates of the prism boundaries and \(G\) is the Universal Gravitational Constant.
The \(\text{arctan2}\) function is defined as follows:
\[\begin{split}\text{arctan2} \left( \frac{y}{x} \right) = \begin{cases} \text{arctan}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right) & x \ne 0 \\ \frac{\pi}{2} & x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad y > 0 \\ -\frac{\pi}{2} & x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad y < 0 \\ 0 & x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad y = 0 \\ \end{cases}\end{split}\]It was defined after [Fukushima2020] and guarantee a good accuracy on any observation point.
