Nstrophy is a tool to solve the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation as well
|
|
as Gallavotti's reversible Navier-Stokes equation and compare them.
|
|
|
|
**Nstrophy is under active development**
|
|
|
|
# Building
|
|
|
|
Compile Nstrophy with
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
which will place a binary at `build/nstrophy`.
|
|
|
|
The syntax for the execution of Nstrophy is
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build/nstrophy [-p parameters] [-s savefile] <command>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nstrophy is written in C. The Makefile uses the GNU C Compiler.
|
|
|
|
Nstrophy depends on `fftw`: [https://fftw.org]

# Commands
|
|
|
|
The available commands are
|
|
|
|
* `enstrophy`: to compute the enstrophy and various other observables. This
|
|
command prints
|
|
```step_index time average(alpha) average(enstrophy) average(alpha*enstrophy) alpha enstrophy alpha*enstrophy```
|
|
where the averages are running averages over `print_freq`. In addition, if
|
|
the algorithm has an adaptive step, an extra column is printed with `delta`.
|
|
|
|
* `uk`: to compute the Fourier transform of the solution.
|
|
|
|
* `quiet`: does not print anything, useful for debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Parameters
|
|
|
|
The parameters can be specified using the `-p` flag. The parameter string
|
|
should be a `;` sperated list of `key=value` pairs. The possible keys are
|
|
|
|
* `equation`: either `irreverisible` (default) or `reversible`.
|
|
|
|
* `K` (int, default 16): cutoff in momentum space: -K<=k_i<=K
|
|
|
|
* `K1` (int, default `K`): cutoff in momentum space for the x component:
|
|
-K<=k_x<=K
|
|
|
|
* `K2` (int, default `K`): cutoff in momentum space for the y component:
|
|
-K<=k_y<=K
|
|
|
|
* `N` (int, default smallest power of 2 that is larger than 3`K`): size of fft
|
|
vectors: must be at least 3 times `K` to avoid aliasing.
|
|
|
|
* `N1` (int, default `N`): same as `N` but only for x component.
|
|
|
|
* `N2` (int, default `N`): same as `N` but only for y component.
|
|
|
|
* `final_time` (double, default 100000): time at which to end the computation.
|
|
Set to <0 to keep on going forever.
|
|
|
|
* `nu` (double, default 0.00048828125): viscosity.
|
|
|
|
* `delta` (double, default 0.0001220703125): step size.
|
|
|
|
* `L` (double, default 2pi): size of box.
|
|
|
|
* `print_freq` (double, default 1): only print when time crosses integer
|
|
multiples of `print_freq`.
|
|
|
|
* `starting_time` (double, default 0): starting time.
|
|
|
|
* `driving`: either `zero` for no driving, `test` (default) for a testing
|
|
driving force or `file:<filename>` or `file_txt:<filename>` to read the
|
|
driving force from a file. When using `file:<filename>` the file should be
|
|
binary, whereas with `file_txt:<filename>` it should be plaintext. The binary
|
|
file format is `(double)(double)` for each entry of the driving force,
|
|
excluding kx<0 and kx=0&&ky<=0. The plaintext file format is
|
|
`kx ky real_part imag_part`.
|
|
|
|
* `init`: either `random` for a random initialization, `gaussian` (default) for
|
|
a Gaussian initial condition or `file:<filename>` or `file_txt:<filename>` to
|
|
read the driving force from a file. When using `file:<filename>` the file
|
|
should be binary, whereas with `file_txt:<filename>` it should be plaintext.
|
|
The binary file format is `(double)(double)` for each entry of the driving
|
|
force, excluding kx<0 and kx=0&&ky<=0. The plaintext file format is
|
|
`kx ky real_part imag_part`.
|
|
|
|
* `init_en` (double, default 1.54511597324389e+02): initial value of the energy if
|
|
`equation=irreversible` or of the enstrophy if `equation=reversible`.
|
|
|
|
* `random_seed` (int, default ): seed for random initialization.
|
|
|
|
* `algorithm`: fixed step methods: `RK4` for Runge-Kutta 4, `RK2` for
|
|
Runge-Kutta 2.
|
|
adaptive step methods: `RKF45` for Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (order
|
|
4), `RKDP54` for Runge-Kutta-Dormand-Prince (order 5), `RKBS32` for
|
|
Runge-Kutta-Bogacki-Shampine (order 3).
|
|
|
|
* `adaptive_tolerance` (double, default 1e-11): when using an adaptive step
|
|
method, this is the maximal allowed relative error.
|
|
|
|
* `adaptive_factor` (double, default 0.9): when using the RKF45 method, the
|
|
step gets adjusted by `factor*delta*(tolerance/error)^(1/5)`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Interrupting/resuming the computation
|
|
|
|
The computation can be interrupted by sending Nstrophy the `SIGINT` signal
|
|
(e.g. by pressing `Ctrl-C`.) When Nstrophy receives the `SIGINT` signal, it
|
|
finishes its current step and writes the value of uk, either to `savefile` if
|
|
such a file was specified on the command line (using the `-s` flag), or to
|
|
`stderr`. In addition, when a `savefile` is specified it writes the command
|
|
that needs to be used to resume the computation (which essentially just sets
|
|
the appropriate `starting_time` and `init:file:<savefile>` parameters. The data
|
|
written to the `savefile` is binary.
