Added more documentation.
Removed a bug in the CartSphere transformation (for r,phi) Changed the name of the parameter r2squaredsomething to normalize_dtheta_dphi for a better description of what it does, also made the default no, so that by default the components are normalised to the vector (dtheta, dphi), which seems to be what people would expect. This might mean rerunning some testsuites git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinAnalysis/ADMAnalysis/trunk@5 80bd93c7-81bc-453a-9e3f-619c0b4f6fe4

\section{Purpose}
-This thorn calculates
+This thorn provides analysis routines to calculate the following quantities:
\begin{itemize}
\item
-The trace of the extrinsic curvature ({\bf trK}).
+The trace of the extrinsic curvature ($trK$).
\item
-The determinant of the metric ({\bf detg}).
+The determinant of the 3-metric ($detg$).
\item
-The components of the metric in spherical coordinates
-({\bf grr,grq,grp,gqq,gqp,gpp}).
+The components of the 3-metric in spherical coordinates \\
+($g_{rr},g_{r\theta},g_{r\phi},g_{\theta\theta},g_{\phi\theta},g_{\phi\phi}$).
\item
-The components of the extrinsic curvature in spherical coordinates
-({\bf Krr,Krq,Krp,Kqq,Kqp,Kpp}).
+The components of the extrinsic curvature in spherical coordinates \\
+($K_{rr},K_{r\theta},K_{r\phi},K_{\theta\theta},K_{\theta\phi},K_{\phi\phi}$).
\end{itemize}
-if output is requested for them.
+\section{Trace of Extrinsic Curvature}
+
+The trace of the extrinsic curvature at each point on the grid is placed in
+the grid function {\tt trK}. The algorithm for calculating the trace
+uses the physical metric, that is it includes any conformal factor.
+
+\begin{equation}
+{\tt trK} \equiv tr K = \frac{1}{\psi^4} g^{ij} K_{ij}
+\end{equation}
-\section{Comments}
+\section{Determinant of 3-Metric}
-If the parameter {\bf rsquared\_in\_sphm} is set, it squares the
-radial coordinate before applying the tranformation.
+The determinant of the 3-metric at each point on the grid is placed in
+the grid function {\tt detg}. This is always the determinant of the
+conformal metric, that is it does not include any conformal factor.
-In the spherical transormation, the $\theta$ coordinate is referred to
+\begin{equation}
+{\tt detg} \equiv det g =
+-g_{13}^2*g_{22}+2*g_{12}*g_{13}*g_{23}-g_{11}*g_{23}^2-
+g_{12}^2*g_{33}+g_{11}*g_{22}*g_{33}
+\end{equation}
+
+
+\section{Transformation to Spherical Cooordinates}
+
+The values of the metric and/or extrinsic curvature in a spherical
+polar coordinate system $(r,\theta,\phi)$ evaluated at each point on
+the computational grid are placed in the grid functions ({\tt grr},
+{\tt grt}, {\tt grp}, {\tt gtt}, {\tt gtp}, {\tt gpp}) and ({\tt krr},
+{\tt krt}, {\tt krp}, {\tt ktt}, {\tt ktp}, {\tt kpp}).
+In the spherical transformation, the $\theta$ coordinate is referred to
as {\bf q} and the $\phi$ as {\bf p}.
-This thorn knows how to handle `physical' and `static conformal'
-metric types.
+The general transformation from Cartesian to Spherical for such tensors
+is

+\begin{eqnarray*}

+-\sin\theta(\sin^2\phi-\cos^2\phi)A_{xy}
+-\cos\theta\sin\phi A_{xz}
+\\
+&&
++\sin\theta\sin\phi\cos\phi A_{yy}
++\cos\theta\cos\phi A_{yz})
+\\
+A_{\theta\theta}&=&
+r^2(\cos^2\theta\cos^2\phi A_{xx}
++2\cos^2\theta\sin\phi\cos\phi A_{xy}
+-2\sin\theta\cos\theta\cos\phi A_{xz}
++\cos^2\theta\sin^2\phi A_{yy}
+\\
+&&
+-2\sin\theta\cos\theta\sin\phi A_{yz}
++\sin^2\theta A_{zz})
+\\
+A_{\theta\phi}&=&
+r^2\sin\theta(-\cos\theta\sin\phi\cos\phi A_{xx}
+-\cos\theta(\sin^2\phi-\cos^2\phi)A_{xy}
++\sin\theta \sin\phi A_{xz}

+\\
+A_{\phi\phi}&=&
+r^2\sin^2\theta(\sin^2\phi A_{xx}
+-2\sin\phi\cos\phi A_{xy}
++\cos^2\phi A_{yy})
+\end{eqnarray*}
+
+If the parameter {\tt normalize\_dtheta\_dphi} is set to {\tt yes},
+the angular components are projected onto the vectors $(r d\theta, r \sin\theta d \phi)$ instead of the default vector $(d \theta, d\phi)$. That is,
+
+\begin{eqnarray*}
+A_{\theta\theta} & \rightarrow & A_{\theta\theta}/r^2
+\\
+A_{\phi\phi}& \rightarrow & A_{\phi\phi}/(r^2\sin^2\theta)
+\\
+A_{r\theta} & \rightarrow & A_{r\theta}/r
+\\
+A_{r\phi} & \rightarrow & A_{r\phi}/(r\sin\theta)
+\\
+A_{\theta\phi} & \rightarrow & A_{\theta\phi}/r^2\sin\theta)
+\end{eqnarray*}
