public class EmpiricalForce
extends JacobiansParameterizable
implements ForceModel, GradientModel

This class implements the empirical force. An empirical force is a "pseudo acceleration" with the same frequency of the spacecraft orbital frequency (or a multiple of this frequency). This class allows to model a bunch of empirical forces, such as Hill, Hill2 and bias.

Given an orbit and a local frame (usually a LOF frame), and three vectors A, B and C defined in this frame, the acceleration due to a generic empirical force is the following:
a_loc = Acos(nωt) + Bsin(nωt) + C,
where n is the harmonic factor and ω is the orbital period.

As ω is usually unknown, cos(nωt) and sin(nωt) are computed from the orbital position of the spacecraft:

• when the orbit is highly inclined, the orbital position can be computed from the position of the ascending node;
• when the orbit is heliosyncronous, the orbital position can be computed from the projection of the Sun in the orbital plane;

To avoid to be restricted to these two cases, the user is free to choose a vector S that is used to define a reference direction V (V = S x ω); this reference direction is used to compute cos(nωt) and sin(nωt):

• S =(0, 0, 1) when the reference direction V is the position of the ascending node;
• S = sun direction in the inertial frame when the orbit is heliosyncronous.

This vector S shall be expressed in the inertial frame associated to the SpacecraftState.

The implementation of this class enables the computation of partial derivatives with respect to the X, Y and Z-components of the A, B and C coefficients.
