Summary

  • This PR is a (bugfix and aesthetic improvement)
  • It does the following:
    • changes "effective" mass and radius definition to be consistent with literature
      • This corrects an issue Sean Wiggins identified with rolling and torsion friction coefficients 2x the expected value.
      • This also makes the implementation easy to read instead of having factors of 2 and 1/2 cancel out to same effective equations.

ToDo :

  • Annotate RELEASE_NOTES.md with notable changes.
  • Create LLNLSpheral PR pointing at this branch. (PR#)
  • LLNLSpheral PR has passed all tests.

…ff by factor of 2, other edits are aesthetic
