Rot Namelist Group

The &rot namelist group governs the treatment of rotation. The input file can contain one or more, but only the last (tag-matching) one is used. The following options are available:

Omega_rot_source (type: string, default: 'MODEL')

Source for rotational angular frequency \(\Orot\) values; one of

  • 'MODEL' : Differential rotation, with a spatially varying \(\Orot\) obtained from the stellar model

  • 'UNIFORM' : Uniform rotation, with a spatially constant \(\Orot\) set by Omega_rot and Omega_rot_units

Omega_rot (type: real, default: 0)

Rotation angular frequency. Used only when Omega_rot_source = 'UNIFORM'

Omega_rot_units (type: string, default: 'NONE')

Units of Omega_rot; one of

  • 'NONE' : Dimensionless angular frequency

  • 'HZ' : Linear frequency in Hz[1]

  • 'UHZ' : Linear frequency in \(\mu\)Hz[1]

  • 'RAD_PER_SEC' : Angular frequency in radians per second[1]

  • 'CYC_PER_DAY' : Linear frequency in cycles per day[1]

  • 'CRITICAL' : Fraction of the Roche critical rate[1]

Used only when Omega_rot_source = 'UNIFORM'

tag_list (type: string, default: '')

Comma-separated list of tag values to match; matches all if left blank
