Package org.orekit.forces.gravity.potential

Class CachedNormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.forces.gravity.potential.CachedNormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

NormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider, SphericalHarmonicsProvider, TideSystemProvider

public class CachedNormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider
extends Object
implements NormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider

Caching wrapper for NormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider.

This wrapper improves efficiency of NormalizedSphericalHarmonicsProvider by sampling the values at a user defined rate and using interpolation between samples. This is important with providers that have sub-daily frequencies and are computing intensive, such as tides fields.

                                                  double newSlotInterval)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

rawProvider - underlying raw provider

step - time step between sample points for interpolation

nbPoints - number of points to use for interpolation, must be at least 2

maxSlots - maximum number of independent cached time slots

maxSpan - maximum duration span in seconds of one slot (can be set to Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if desired)

newSlotInterval - time interval above which a new slot is created instead of extending an existing one
