pub fn tangent_plane_at(
patch: &BoundedPlane,
CartesianCoordinates: CartesianCoordinates,
) -> BoundedPlaneExpand description
Plane to cut one element with, when the face it crosses is curved.
get_interface_plane gives the plane tangent at the middle of the compartment, which drifts
away from the patch as theta moves:
tangent at theta_c
------+------ an element sitting here never reaches the tangent plane,
__--- ---__ it contributes no area at all
_- | -_ <- patch
/ | \
axisTaking the tangent at the angular position of the element keeps the error down to the curvature over one element instead of over one compartment.
