Kernel for easting-northing component of the tensor due to a prism
Evaluates the integration kernel for the easting-northing component of the tensor generated by a prism [Nagy2000] on a single vertex of the prism. The coordinates that must be passed are shifted coordinates: the coordinates of the vertex from a Cartesian coordinate system whose origin is located in the observation point.
This function makes use of a safe natural logarithmic function [Fukushima2020] that guarantee a good accuracy on every observation point.
- Parameters:
easting (float) – Shifted easting coordinate of the vertex of the prism. Must be in meters.
northing (float) – Shifted northing coordinate of the vertex of the prism. Must be in meters.
upward (float) – Shifted upward coordinate of the vertex of the prism. Must be in meters.
radius (float) – Square root of the sum of the squares of the
easting,northingandupwardshifted coordinates.
- Returns:
kernel (float) – Value of the kernel function for the easting-northing component of the tensor due to a rectangular prism evaluated on a single vertex.
Notes
Computes the following numerical kernel on the passed shifted coordinates:
\[k_{xy}(x, y, z) = \operatorname{safe-ln} \left( z + r \right)\]where
\[\begin{split}\operatorname{safe-ln}(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & |x| < 10^{-10} \\ \ln (x) \end{cases}\end{split}\]References
