make_inserter(grid, *, with_ghost_cells=False)[source]

Return a compiled function to insert values at interpolated positions.

Parameters:
  • grid (GridBase) – Grid for which the integrator is defined

  • with_ghost_cells (bool) – Flag indicating that the interpolator should work on the full data array that includes values for the grid points. If this is the case, the boundaries are not checked and the coordinates are used as is.

Returns:

A function with signature (data, position, amount), where data is the numpy array containing the field data, position is denotes the position in grid coordinates, and amount is the that is to be added to the field.

Return type:

callable

make_integrator(grid)[source]

Return function that integrates discretized data over a grid.

If this function is used in a multiprocessing run (using MPI), the integrals are performed on all subgrids and then accumulated. Each process then receives the same value representing the global integral.

Parameters:

grid (GridBase) – Grid for which the integrator is defined

Returns:

A function that takes a numpy array and returns the integral with the correct weights given by the cell volumes.

Return type:

Callable[[NumericArray], NumberOrArray]

make_interpolator(field, *, fill=None, with_ghost_cells=False)[source]

Returns a function that can be used to interpolate values.

Parameters:
  • field (DataFieldBase) – Field for which the interpolator is defined

  • fill (Number, optional) – Determines how values out of bounds are handled. If None, a ValueError is raised when out-of-bounds points are requested. Otherwise, the given value is returned.

  • with_ghost_cells (bool) – Flag indicating that the interpolator should work on the full data array that includes values for the ghost points. If this is the case, the boundaries are not checked and the coordinates are used as is.

A function which returns interpolated values when called with arbitrary positions within the space of the grid.

Return type:

Callable[[FloatingArray, NumericArray], NumberOrArray]

make_mpi_synchronizer(operator='MAX')[source]

Return function that synchronizes values between multiple MPI processes.

Warning

The default implementation does not synchronize anything. This is simply a hook, which can be used by backends that support MPI

Returns:

Function that can be used to synchronize values across nodes

make_operator(grid, operator, bcs, **kwargs)[source]

Return a compiled function applying an operator with boundary conditions.

Parameters:
  • operator (str) – Identifier for the operator. Some examples are ‘laplace’, ‘gradient’, or ‘divergence’. The registered operators for this grid can be obtained from the operators attribute.

  • bcs (BoundariesBase, optional) – The boundary conditions used before the operator is applied

  • **kwargs – Specifies extra arguments influencing how the operator is created.

  • grid (GridBase)

Return type:

OperatorType

The returned function takes the discretized data on the grid as an input and returns the data to which the operator operator has been applied. The function only takes the valid grid points and allocates memory for the ghost points internally to apply the boundary conditions specified as bc. Note that the function supports an optional argument out, which if given should provide space for the valid output array without the ghost cells. The result of the operator is then written into this output array.

The function also accepts an optional parameter args, which is forwarded to set_ghost_cells. This allows setting boundary conditions based on external parameters, like time. Note that since the returned operator will always be compiled by Numba, the arguments need to be compatible with Numba. The following example shows how to pass the current time t:

Returns:

the function that applies the operator. This function has the signature (arr: NumericArray, out: NumericArray = None, args=None).

Return type:

callable

Parameters:
make_outer_prod_operator(field)[source]

Return operator calculating the outer product between two fields.

This supports typically only supports products between two vector fields.

Parameters:
  • field (DataFieldBase) – Field for which the outer product is defined

  • conjugate (bool) – Whether to use the complex conjugate for the second operand

Returns:

function that takes two instance of ndarray, which contain the discretized data of the two operands. An optional third argument can specify the output array to which the result is written.

Return type:

Callable[[NumericArray, NumericArray, NumericArray | None], NumericArray]

make_pde_rhs(eq, state)[source]

Return a function for evaluating the right hand side of the PDE.

Parameters:
  • eq (PDEBase) – The object describing the differential equation
