pyro.compressible_sr package

pyro.compressible_sr package#

The pyro compressible hydrodynamics solver. This implements the second-order (piecewise-linear), unsplit method of Colella 1990.

Subpackages#

pyro.compressible_sr.problems package

Submodules#

pyro.compressible_sr.BC module#

compressible-specific boundary conditions. Here, in particular, we implement an HSE BC in the vertical direction.

Note: the pyro BC routines operate on a single variable at a time, so some work will necessarily be repeated.

Also note: we may come in here with the aux_data (source terms), so we’ll do a special case for them

pyro.compressible_sr.BC.inflow_post_bc(var, g)[source]#

pyro.compressible_sr.BC.inflow_pre_bc(var, g)[source]#

pyro.compressible_sr.BC.user(bc_name, bc_edge, variable, ccdata, ivars)[source]#

A hydrostatic boundary. This integrates the equation of HSE into the ghost cells to get the pressure and density under the assumption that the specific internal energy is constant.

Upon exit, the ghost cells for the input variable will be set

Parameters:

bc_name{‘hse’}: The descriptive name for the boundary condition – this allows for pyro to have multiple types of user-supplied boundary conditions. For this module, it needs to be ‘hse’.
bc_edge{‘ylb’, ‘yrb’}: The boundary to update: ylb = lower y boundary; yrb = upper y boundary.
variable{‘density’, ‘x-momentum’, ‘y-momentum’, ‘energy’}: The variable whose ghost cells we are filling
ccdataCellCenterData2d object: The data object

pyro.compressible_sr.interface.consFlux(idir, idens, ixmom, iymom, iener, irhoX, iu, iv, ip, nspec, U_state, q_state)[source]#

Calculate the conservative flux.

Parameters:

idirint: Are we predicting to the edges in the x-direction (1) or y-direction (2)?
idens, ixmom, iymom, iener, irhoXint: The indices of the density, x-momentum, y-momentum, internal energy density and species partial densities in the conserved state vector.

pyro.compressible_sr.interface.riemann_cgf(idir, ng, idens, ixmom, iymom, iener, irhoX, irho, iu, iv, ip, iX, nspec, lower_solid, upper_solid, gamma, U_l, U_r, q_l, q_r)[source]#

Solve riemann shock tube problem for a general equation of state using the method of Colella, Glaz, and Ferguson. See Almgren et al. 2010 (the CASTRO paper) for details.

The Riemann problem for the Euler’s equation produces 4 regions, separated by the three characteristics (u - cs, u, u + cs):

u - cs    t    u      u + cs
  \       ^   .       /
   \  *L  |   . *R   /
    \     |  .     /
     \    |  .    /
 L    \   | .   /    R
       \  | .  /
        \ |. /
         \|./
----------+----------------> x

We care about the solution on the axis. The basic idea is to use estimates of the wave speeds to figure out which region we are in, and: use jump conditions to evaluate the state there.

Only density jumps across the u characteristic. All primitive variables jump across the other two. Special attention is needed if a rarefaction spans the axis.

Parameters:

idirint: Are we predicting to the edges in the x-direction (1) or y-direction (2)?
ngint: The number of ghost cells
nspecint: The number of species
idens, ixmom, iymom, iener, irhoXint: The indices of the density, x-momentum, y-momentum, internal energy density and species partial densities in the conserved state vector.
lower_solid, upper_solidint: Are we at lower or upper solid boundaries?
gammafloat: Adiabatic index
U_l, U_rndarray: Conserved state on the left and right cell edges.

Returns:

outndarray: Conserved flux

pyro.compressible_sr.interface.riemann_hllc(idir, ng, idens, ixmom, iymom, iener, irhoX, irho, iu, iv, ip, iX, nspec, lower_solid, upper_solid, gamma, U_l, U_r, q_l, q_r)[source]#

This is the HLLC Riemann solver. The implementation follows directly out of Toro’s book. Note: this does not handle the transonic rarefaction.

this is like riemann_cgf, except that it works on a primitive variable input state and returns the primitive variable interface state

pyro.compressible_sr.interface.states(idir, ng, dx, dt, irho, iu, iv, ip, iX, nspec, gamma, qv, Uv, dUv)[source]#

predict the cell-centered state to the edges in one-dimension using the reconstructed, limited slopes.

We follow the convection here that V_l[i] is the left state at the i-1/2 interface and V_l[i+1] is the left state at the i+1/2 interface.

We need the left and right eigenvectors and the eigenvalues for the system projected along the x-direction.

Taking our state vector as \(Q = (\rho, u, v, p)^T\), the eigenvalues are \(u - c\), \(u\), \(u + c\).

We look at the equations of hydrodynamics in a split fashion – i.e., we only consider one dimension at a time.

Considering advection in the x-direction, the Jacobian matrix for the primitive variable formulation of the Euler equations projected in the x-direction is:

    / u   r   0   0 \
    | 0   u   0  1/r |
A = | 0   0   u   0  |
    \ 0  rc^2 0   u  /

The right eigenvectors are:

     /  1  \        / 1 \        / 0 \        /  1  \
     |-c/r |        | 0 |        | 0 |        | c/r |
r1 = |  0  |   r2 = | 0 |   r3 = | 1 |   r4 = |  0  |
     \ c^2 /        \ 0 /        \ 0 /        \ c^2 /

In particular, we see from r3 that the transverse velocity (v in this case) is simply advected at a speed u in the x-direction.

The left eigenvectors are:

l1 =     ( 0,  -r/(2c),  0, 1/(2c^2) )
l2 =     ( 1,     0,     0,  -1/c^2  )
l3 =     ( 0,     0,     1,     0    )
l4 =     ( 0,   r/(2c),  0, 1/(2c^2) )

The fluxes are going to be defined on the left edge of the computational zones:

 |             |             |             |
 |             |             |             |
-+------+------+------+------+------+------+--
 |     i-1     |      i      |     i+1     |
              ^ ^           ^
          q_l,i q_r,i  q_l,i+1

q_r,i and q_l,i+1 are computed using the information in zone i,j.

Parameters:

idirint: Are we predicting to the edges in the x-direction (1) or y-direction (2)?
ngint: The number of ghost cells
dxfloat: The cell spacing
dtfloat: The timestep
irho, iu, iv, ip, ixint: Indices of the density, x-velocity, y-velocity, pressure and species in the state vector
nspecint: The number of species
gammafloat: Adiabatic index
qvndarray: The primitive state vector
dqvndarray: Spatial derivative of the state vector

Returns:

outndarray, ndarray: State vector predicted to the left and right edges

pyro.compressible_sr.unsplit_fluxes module#

Implementation of the Colella 2nd order unsplit Godunov scheme. This is a 2-dimensional implementation only. We assume that the grid is uniform, but it is relatively straightforward to relax this assumption.

There are several different options for this solver (they are all discussed in the Colella paper).

limiter: 0 = no limiting; 1 = 2nd order MC limiter; 2 = 4th order MC limiter
riemann: HLLC or CGF (for Colella, Glaz, and Freguson solver)

We wish to solve

\[U_t + F^x_x + F^y_y = H\]

we want U_{i+1/2}^{n+1/2} – the interface values that are input to the Riemann problem through the faces for each zone.

Taylor expanding yields:

                                            flux term

There are two components, the central difference in the normal to the interface, and the transverse flux difference. This is done for the left and right sides of all 4 interfaces in a zone, which are then used as input to the Riemann problem, yielding the 1/2 time interface values:

 n+1/2
U
 i+1/2,j

Then, the zone average values are updated in the usual finite-volume way:

 n+1    n     dt    x  n+1/2       x  n+1/2
U    = U    + -- { F (U       ) - F (U       ) }
 i,j    i,j   dx       i-1/2,j        i+1/2,j


              dt    y  n+1/2       y  n+1/2
            + -- { F (U       ) - F (U       ) }
              dy       i,j-1/2        i,j+1/2

Updating U_{i,j}:

We want to find the state to the left and right (or top and bottom) of each interface, ex. U_{i+1/2,j,[lr]}^{n+1/2}, and use them to solve a Riemann problem across each of the four interfaces.
U_{i+1/2,j,[lr]}^{n+1/2} is comprised of two parts, the computation of the monotonized central differences in the normal direction (eqs. 2.8, 2.10) and the computation of the transverse derivatives, which requires the solution of a Riemann problem in the transverse direction (eqs. 2.9, 2.14).
- the monotonized central difference part is computed using the primitive variables.
- We compute the central difference part in both directions before doing the transverse flux differencing, since for the high-order transverse flux implementation, we use these as the input to the transverse Riemann problem.
