pos = [6378.e3; 0; 0]; omega = [0; 0; 1] * 2.e-7; // ~ 1 deg / day CL_fo_centrifugPot(pos, omega) |  |  |
Apparent potential due to the centrigural force (non-inertial frame)
[pot] = CL_fo_centrifugPot(pos, omega)
Potential due to the centrifugal force (rotating frame).
By definition, the acceleration derived from the potential is +grad(potential).
Notes:
- The origin for the position vector must be the central body (there is no acceleration of the origin of the frame considered).
- The coordinates frame can be any frame.
- omega is the angular velocity vector of the (current) frame with respect to a reference (inertial) frame.
See Force models for more details.
Position vector [m]. (3xN or 3x1)
Angular velocity vector of current frame with respect to reference frame [rad/s]. (3xN or 3x1)
Potential [m^2/s^2]. (1xN)
