FlaringIndex

Back to parameter list

This parameter has to be used together with AspectRatio. If it is defined to a value B, while AspectRatio is defined to a value h0, then the disk aspect ratio is defined everywhere by:

H/r = h0 * rB

FlaringIndex defaults to 0, which means a uniform disk aspect ratio or, differently said, a local disk thickness proportional to the radius ("flat" disk).
