desc.geometry.ZernikeRZToroidalSection.compute_surface_area

ZernikeRZToroidalSection.compute_surface_area(R_lmn=None, Z_lmn=None, grid=None)[source]

Compute surface area via quadrature.

Parameters:

R_lmn (array-like) – zernike coefficients for R, Z. Defaults to self.R_lmn, self.Z_lmn
Z_lmn (array-like) – zernike coefficients for R, Z. Defaults to self.R_lmn, self.Z_lmn
grid (Grid or array-like) – toroidal coordinates to compute at. Defaults to self.grid If an integer, assumes that many linearly spaced points in (0,1)x(0,2pi)

Returns:

area (float) – surface area
