Radiative Transfer Outputters¶

Class providing outputters for Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations—routines that collect and record photon packet statistics as packets propagate through the computational domain. Methods handle escaped photon packets (recording their wavelength, direction, and weight), output properties of the source distribution, and optionally record intermediate quantities such as the local radiation field or ionization state. Implementations write results to HDF5 output groups for subsequent analysis of the emergent spectrum or radiation field.

Default implementation: radiativeTransferOutputterNull

Methods¶

reset → void

Reset the outputter to its initial state, clearing any accumulated photon packet statistics in preparation for a new iteration or output epoch.

sourceProperties → void

Output properties of the source distribution.

class(radiativeTransferSourceClass), intent(inout) :: radiativeTransferSource_
type (hdf5Object ), intent(inout) :: outputGroup

photonPacketEscapes → void

Handle cases where a photon packet escapes the computational domain.

class(radiativeTransferPhotonPacketClass), intent(inout) :: photonPacket

finalize → void

Finalize any calculations output.

output → void

Perform final output.

type (hdf5Object), intent(inout) :: outputGroup

`radiativeTransferOutputterContinuuaRates`¶

A radiative transfer outputter class that records the ionizing photon emission rates in the photoionization continua of all specified chemical elements, enabling tracking of the Lyman continuum and other ionizing fluxes. The list of elements to track is specified via the [elements] parameter.

Parameters

[elements] — The names of the elements to be tracked.

`radiativeTransferOutputterLymanContinuumRate`¶

A radiative transfer outputter class which outputs the Lyman continuum photon emission rate.

`radiativeTransferOutputterMulti`¶

A radiative transfer outputter class which combines multiple other outputters.

Methods

columnDescriptions — Return a description of the columns.
elementCount — Return the number of properties in the tuple.
extractDouble — Extract the double properties from the given node.
extractInteger — Extract the integer properties from the given node.
names — Return the names of the properties extracted.
descriptions — Return descriptions of the properties extracted.
unitsInSI — Return the units of the properties extracted in the SI system.
units — Return an object containing units metadata for the properties.
ranks — Return the ranks of the properties extracted.
metaData — Populate a hash with meta-data for the property.

`radiativeTransferOutputterNull`¶

A null (no-op) radiative transfer outputter that performs no output operations, used as a placeholder or default when radiative transfer results do not need to be written out.

(Default implementation)

Parameters

[dimensionless] (default .true.) — If true the null profile is considered to be dimensionless.
