Member Function Documentation

step()

void orrery::integrators::Yoshida4::step ( core::ParticleData & data, core::Real timestep, AccelerationField & field )

overridevirtual

Advance the configuration by one step of timestep.

Requires the invariant above and restores it. A negative timestep is meaningful and is not an error: the symmetric methods here are exactly time-reversible, and stepping backwards is how a test asserts it.

Implements orrery::integrators::Integrator.

name()

std::string_view orrery::integrators::Yoshida4::name ( ) const

inlinenodiscardoverridevirtualnoexcept

The method's name, for diagnostics output and test messages.

Implements orrery::integrators::Integrator.

order()

int orrery::integrators::Yoshida4::order ( ) const

inlinenodiscardoverridevirtualnoexcept

The order of the method: the power of the timestep that the error after a fixed interval of simulated time falls with.

Implements orrery::integrators::Integrator.

is_symplectic()

bool orrery::integrators::Yoshida4::is_symplectic ( ) const

inlinenodiscardoverridevirtualnoexcept

Whether the method preserves the phase-space volume of the flow.

The property that decides whether the energy error stays inside a bounded envelope for ever or grows without limit, which for a simulation run over millions of steps matters more than the order does. ADR-0011 sets out the argument and the validation suite demonstrates it.

Implements orrery::integrators::Integrator.

force_evaluations_per_step()

core::Index orrery::integrators::Yoshida4::force_evaluations_per_step ( ) const

inlinenodiscardoverridevirtualnoexcept

How many times step calls the acceleration field.

The honest unit of cost for comparing methods. Two schemes compared at equal timestep are not compared at equal work, and this is the number that converts between them.

Implements orrery::integrators::Integrator.
