The idea is to be able to handle mergers and sinking galactic satellites by
|
||||
having each subsystem centered on one (massless?) particle, and have the
|
||||
expansion calculated separately in each center of mass system (only for
|
||||
particles belonging to it). After the internal forces are calculated for each
|
||||
subsystem, the mutual forces are calculated as well, and all the particles are
|
||||
integrated in a global coordinate system.
|
||||
|
||||
Technically, most of the SCF module has to become a class. Some of the arrays
|
||||
like RadCoeff and AngCoeff (anything else?) should remain global and would be
|
||||
initialized by some global initialization routine. Then each subsystem would be
|
||||
a different instance of the SCF class, with its own list of coefficients and
|
||||
particle cache. It seems that all subsystems can (should?) share the integrator
|
||||
object. Maybe (probably?) the integrator should be agnostic to how particles are
|
||||
divided into subsystems, and the call to CalculateGravity() would take care of
|
||||
everything. In this case we are talking about a class for the current SCF
|
||||
routines but also some wrapper that knows how to CalculateGravity() by calling
|
||||
the appropriate methods for each subsystem's object, and also work out the
|
||||
mutual gravity. Need a good name for this intermediate level between the
|
||||
integrator and the SCF core.
|
||||
|
||||
This intermediate level or even a different class would deal how to associate
|
||||
particles to the different subsystems and how to figure out the initial
|
||||
conditions. Also, the central particles might need some special treatment
|
||||
(possibly the integrator considers them normal particles but this other level
|
||||
knows not to use them for force calculation; I should think whether those should
|
||||
be omitted from output, but it might be helpful to keep them).
