You can see the impact of the tidal heating here. The case with 10x stronger heating reaches energy balance with a surface temperature ~300 K hotter. For TRAPPIST-1b, this paper predicts Htidal in excess of 16 nW/kg.
Do you want me or someone else to review this already?
@timlichtenberg yes I think this is ready for review now that the tests are passing. If could please have a look at it, then that would be great.
Adds a module for dummy tidal heating. This is implemented by simply allowing the user to set the tidal power density
H_tide
in the configuration file. Closes #190.This required the following changes:
F_tide
andF_radio
. This is because global energy balance is now achieved when $F{\text{atm}}=F{\text{tide}}+F{\text{radio}}$ not when $F{\text{atm}}=0$, since $F{\text{tide}}+F{\text{radio}}$ effectively acts like an $F_{\text{eff}}$ (cf. hot jupiter atmosphere models).F_crit
). See https://web.mit.edu/10.001/Web/Tips/Converge.htmThis also lays the groundwork for implementing a new comprehensive tidal heating and orbital evolution calculation. It's not clear how these other models would operate, but they would at least have to communicate some information relating to tidal heating to the interior models.
Minor things:
apt-get update
to Ubuntu workflow, following this issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/5470#issuecomment-1115949858.
