hyperion.grid.SphericalPolarGrid

class hyperion.grid.SphericalPolarGrid(*args)

A spherical polar grid.

The grid can be initialized by passing the r, theta, and phi coordinates of cell walls:

>>> grid = SphericalPolarGrid(r_wall, t_wall, p_wall)

where r_wall, t_wall, and p_wall are 1-d sequences of wall positions. The number of cells in the resulting grid will be one less in each dimension that the length of these arrays.

SphericalPolarGrid objects may contain multiple quantities (e.g. density, specific energy). To access these, you can specify the name of the quantity as an item:

>>> grid['density']

which is no longer a SphericalPolarGrid object, but a SphericalPolarGridView object. When setting this for the first time, this can be set either to another SphericalPolarGridView object, an external h5py link, or an empty list. For example, the following should work:

>>> grid['density_new'] = grid['density']

SphericalPolarGridView objects allow the specific dust population to be selected as an index:

>>> grid['density'][0]

Which is also a SphericalPolarGridView object. The data can then be accessed with the array attribute:

>>> grid['density'][0].array

which is a 3-d array of the requested quantity.

read(group, quantities='all')

Read the geometry and physical quantities from a spherical polar grid

Parameters:

The HDF5 group to read the grid from. This group should contain groups named ‘Geometry’ and ‘Quantities’.

quantities‘all’ or list

Which physical quantities to read in. Use ‘all’ to read in all quantities or a list of strings to read only specific quantities.

read_geometry(group)

Read in geometry information from a spherical polar grid

Parameters:

grouph5py.Group

The HDF5 group to read the grid geometry from.

read_quantities(group, quantities='all')

Read in physical quantities from a spherical polar grid

Parameters:

grouph5py.Group

The HDF5 group to read the grid quantities from

quantities‘all’ or list

Which physical quantities to read in. Use ‘all’ to read in all quantities or a list of strings to read only specific quantities.

write(group, quantities='all', copy=True, absolute_paths=False, compression=True, wall_dtype=<class 'float'>, physics_dtype=<class 'float'>)

Write out the spherical polar grid

Parameters:

grouph5py.Group

The HDF5 group to write the grid to

quantities‘all’ or list

Which physical quantities to write out. Use ‘all’ to write out all quantities or a list of strings to write only specific quantities.

copybool

namestr

The name of the array in the group

arraynp.ndarray

The array to write out

copybool

Whether to copy external links, or leave them as links.

absolute_pathsbool

If copy is False, then this indicates whether to use absolute or relative paths for links.

compressionbool

Whether to compress the arrays in the HDF5 file
