bmnt_library

bmnt_library is a collection of shell scripts, IDL programs, objects, and subroutines designed for processing the output files of sopale. It is installed in on the scrXm family, the stable, and geodyncomp. The most recent version is in

~dguptill/software/bmnt_library_2.5

For version 2.0 and after

The running instructions are:

~dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/bin/<program-name>

For versions prior to 2.0

The running instructions often involve creating a file called 'session.pro', and then running IDL. See below.

sopale_plot

sopale_plot will create plots of

  • the eulerian and lagrangian grids,
  • disc plots of eulerian node and lagrangian particle properties,
  • contour plots of eulerian node and lagrangian particle properties,
  • filled cell plots of eulerian cell properties,
  • velocity plots of eulerian nodes and lagrangian particles.

plot_ptt_path

plot_ptt_path will plot

  • the path (in time) of lagrangian particles on a graph of temperature vs pressure.

compare_tsite

compare_tsite will plot

  • the e= values of two sopale runs as a function of time step and iteration.
  • Included is a plot of the difference between the two e= values.

plot_delta_vel

  • plot_delta_vel is a combination of extract_delta_vel and plot_from_file.pro. It plots delta_vel from a sopale output file.
  • Usage: /home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/plot_delta_vel <sopale-text-output-file> [ X|PS ]
      where:
    • <version> is the version of bmnt_library. e.g. 1.3
    • <sopale-text-output-file> is a sopale output file
    • X means output to X windows
    • PS means output to a postscript file

extract_delta_vel

extract_delta_vel is a shell script which extracts delta_vel values from sopale text output.

    usage:
  • ~dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>/extract_delta_vel

plot_from_file.pro

plot_from_file.pro - plots number from a file.
Useful for plotting the output of extract_delta_vel.

    Usage:
  • make a file "session.pro"
  • include this line: !PATH = '/home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>' + ':' + !PATH
  • Start IDL: idl session.pro
  • run plot_from_file: .run plot_from_file

pump.pro

pump.pro - plots potential equations for delta_t in the pressure pump of sopale_nested.

    Usage:
  • make a file "session.pro"
  • include this line: !PATH = '/home/dguptill/software/bmnt_library_<version>' + ':' + !PATH
  • Start IDL: idl session.pro
  • run pump: .run pump

About


bmnt_library is my creation
From head to toe.
With the exception of the arrow head
Which came from the brilliant Sergei.

Being my creation
It bends to my will
Even as the tall summer grass
Bends to the hurricane wind.
