hyperion.grid.VoronoiGrid#

class hyperion.grid.VoronoiGrid(*args, **kwargs)#

A voronoi mesh.

The mesh can be initialized by passing the x, y, and z coordinates of the points used to compute the mesh:

>>> grid = Voronoi(x, y, z)

where x, y, and z are 1-d sequences of point positions.

VoronoiGrid 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 VoronoiGrid object, but a VoronoiGridView object. When setting this for the first time, this can be set either to another VoronoiGridView object, an external h5py link, or an empty list. For example, the following should work:

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

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

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

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

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

which is a 1-d array of the requested quantity.

Methods (detail)

read(group, quantities='all')#

Read the geometry and physical quantities from an voronoi grid

Parameters:
grouph5py.Group

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 cartesian grid

Parameters:
grouph5py.Group

The HDF5 group to read the grid geometry from.

read_quantities(group, quantities='all')#

Read in physical quantities from a cartesian 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 voronoi 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

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

wall_dtypetype

The datatype to use to write the wall positions (ignored for this kind of grid)

physics_dtypetype

The datatype to use to write the physical quantities

write_single_array(group, name, array, copy=True, absolute_paths=False, compression=True, physics_dtype=<class 'float'>)#

Write out a single quantity, checking for consistency with geometry

Parameters:
grouph5py.Group

The HDF5 group to write the grid to

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

wall_dtypetype

The datatype to use to write the wall positions

physics_dtypetype

The datatype to use to write the physical quantities

add_derived_quantity(name, function)#
evaluate_function_average(func, n_samples=None, min_cell_samples=None)#

Evaluate the average of a function inside each cell using randomly sampled points inside each cell.

Note

This feature is still experimental, use with caution

Parameters:
funcfunction

The function to evaluate in each cell. This should take three 1-d arrays of x, y, and z and return a 1-d array of values.

n_samplesint

The total number of points to sample within the domain. Points will be uniformly sampled in each Voronoi cell so that at least n_samples total points will be produced. Each cell will contain a number of samples proportional to its volume (but at least min_cell_samples points will always be sampled in each cell).

min_cell_samplesint

The minimum number of samples per cell.
