- Python3
- FiPy
It is recommended to use the Anaconda package management system included in Anaconda. It handles the additional required packages needed by FiPy, such as numpy and scipy. For a more-minimal approach, use only the package manager conda. Make sure you download the Python3 version.
Upon completing the installation of conda, follow the instructions from FiPy to install the software: Installation Instructions. Currently, the command to install the environment is this:
conda install --name NAME --channel conda-forge python=3.6 fipy
Be sure to substitute whatever name you want for the environment.
After installing the environment, it's time to download this code. In order to get this code, simply execute the following command in the location of your choice.
git clone https://github.com/kablondino/FiPyPEF.git
If you don't have git, you can download this repository as a zip file and unzip it in the location of your choice.
NOTE: It has not been tested in the Jupyter notebook.
Don't forget to activate your conda environment! Substitute the name that you gave it.
conda activate NAME
The main routine of solving the system is in the solving_taylor.py and solving_flux.py files.
On the command line, run python solving_taylor.py CONFIG_FILE.py with the appropriate configuration file.
Read through the example configuration file taylor_config.py to see all of the options available.
Currently, there are 6 total nonambipolar fluxes implemented.
Read Model_Notes.html in a browser to see the forms of all the plasma parameters and fluxes without needing to sift through code.
