Integrator related modules

Basic code for the templated integrators.

Currently we only support two-step integrators.

These classes are used to generate the code for the actual integrators from the sph_eval module.

class pysph.sph.integrator.EPECIntegrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator

Predictor corrector integrators can have two modes of operation.

In the Evaluate-Predict-Evaluate-Correct (EPEC) mode, the system is advanced using:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}F(y^n) --> Evaluate\\y^{n+\frac{1}{2}} = y^n + F(y^n) --> Predict\\F(y^{n+\frac{1}{2}}) --> Evaluate\\y^{n+1} = y^n + \Delta t F(y^{n+\frac{1}{2}}) --> Correct\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Notes:

The Evaluate stage of the integrator forces a function evaluation. Therefore, the PEC mode is much faster but relies on old accelertions for the Prediction stage.

In the EPEC mode, the final corrector can be modified to:

\[y^{n+1} = y^n + \frac{\Delta t}{2}\left( F(y^n) + F(y^{n+\frac{1}{2}}) \right)\]

This would require additional storage for the accelerations.

Pass fluid names and suitable IntegratorStep instances.

For example:

>>> integrator = Integrator(fluid=WCSPHStep(), solid=WCSPHStep())

where “fluid” and “solid” are the names of the particle arrays.

one_timestep(t, dt)[source]

User written function that actually does one timestep.

This function is used in the high-performance Cython implementation. The assumptions one may make are the following:

  • t and dt are passed.

  • the following methods are available:

    • self.initialize()
    • self.stage1(), self.stage2() etc. depending on the number of stages available.
    • self.compute_accelerations(index=0, update_nnps=True)
    • self.do_post_stage(stage_dt, stage_count_from_1)
    • self.update_domain()

Please see any of the concrete implementations of the Integrator class to study. By default the Integrator implements a predict-evaluate-correct method, the same as PECIntegrator.

class pysph.sph.integrator.EulerIntegrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator

Pass fluid names and suitable IntegratorStep instances.

For example:

>>> integrator = Integrator(fluid=WCSPHStep(), solid=WCSPHStep())

where “fluid” and “solid” are the names of the particle arrays.

one_timestep(t, dt)[source]

User written function that actually does one timestep.

This function is used in the high-performance Cython implementation. The assumptions one may make are the following:

  • t and dt are passed.

  • the following methods are available:

    • self.initialize()

    • self.do_post_stage(stage_dt, stage_count_from_1)
    • self.update_domain()

Please see any of the concrete implementations of the Integrator class to study. By default the Integrator implements a predict-evaluate-correct method, the same as PECIntegrator.

class pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: object

Generic class for multi-step integrators in PySPH for a system of ODES of the form \(\frac{dy}{dt} = F(y)\).

Pass fluid names and suitable IntegratorStep instances.

For example:

>>> integrator = Integrator(fluid=WCSPHStep(), solid=WCSPHStep())

where “fluid” and “solid” are the names of the particle arrays.

compute_accelerations(index=0, update_nnps=True)[source]
compute_h_minimum()[source]
compute_time_step(dt, cfl)[source]

If there are any adaptive timestep constraints, the appropriate timestep is returned, else None is returned.

initial_acceleration(**kwargs)

Compute the initial accelerations if needed before the iterations start.

The default implementation only does this for the first acceleration evaluator. So if you have multiple evaluators, you must override this method in a subclass.

one_timestep(t, dt)[source]

User written function that actually does one timestep.

This function is used in the high-performance Cython implementation. The assumptions one may make are the following:

  • t and dt are passed.

  • the following methods are available:

    • self.initialize()
    • self.stage1(), self.stage2() etc. depending on the number of stages available.
    • self.compute_accelerations(index=0, update_nnps=True)
    • self.do_post_stage(stage_dt, stage_count_from_1)
    • self.update_domain()

Please see any of the concrete implementations of the Integrator class to study. By default the Integrator implements a predict-evaluate-correct method, the same as PECIntegrator.

set_acceleration_evals(a_evals)[source]

Set the acceleration evaluators.

This must be done before the integrator is used.

If you are using the SPHCompiler, it automatically calls this method.

set_compiled_object(c_integrator)[source]

Set the high-performance compiled object to call internally.

set_fixed_h(fixed_h)[source]
set_nnps(nnps)[source]
set_parallel_manager(pm)[source]
set_post_stage_callback(callback)[source]

This callback is called when the particles are moved, i.e one stage of the integration is done.

This callback is passed the current time value, the timestep and the stage.

The current time value is t + stage_dt, for example this would be 0.5*dt for a two stage predictor corrector integrator.

step(time, dt)[source]

This function is called by the solver.

To implement the integration step please override the one_timestep method.

update_domain(**kwargs)

Update the domain of the simulation.

This is to be called when particles move so the ghost particles (periodicity, mirror boundary conditions) can be reset. Further, this also recalculates the appropriate cell size based on the particle kernel radius, h. This should be called explicitly when desired but usually this is done when the particles are moved or the h is changed.

The integrator should explicitly call this when needed in the one_timestep method.

class pysph.sph.integrator.LeapFrogIntegrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.PECIntegrator

A leap-frog integrator.

Pass fluid names and suitable IntegratorStep instances.

class pysph.sph.integrator.PECIntegrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator

In the Predict-Evaluate-Correct (PEC) mode, the system is advanced using:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}y^{n+\frac{1}{2}} = y^n + \frac{\Delta t}{2}F(y^{n-\frac{1}{2}}) --> Predict\\F(y^{n+\frac{1}{2}}) --> Evaluate\\y^{n + 1} = y^n + \Delta t F(y^{n+\frac{1}{2}})\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Notes:

This integrator should run in PEC mode since in the first stage, the positions are updated using the current velocity. The accelerations are then computed to advance to the full time step values.

This version of the integrator does not update the density. That is, the summation density is used instead of the continuity equation.

class pysph.sph.gas_dynamics.magma2.TVDRK2Integrator(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator

Total variation diminishing (TVD) second-order Runge–Kutta (RK2) integrator. Prescribed equations in [Rosswog2020b] are,

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}y^{*} = y^n + \Delta t f(y^{n}) --> Predict\\y^{n+1} = 0.5 (y^n + y^{*} + \Delta t f(y^{*})) --> Correct\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

This is not suitable to be used with periodic boundaries. Say, if a particle crosses the left boundary at the prediction step, update_domain() will introduce that particle at the right boundary. Afterwards, the correction step essentially averages the positions and the particle ends up near the mid-point. To do away with this issue, the equation for the correction step is changed to,

\[y^{n+1} = y^{*} + 0.5 * \Delta t (f(y^{*}) - f(y^{n}))\]

Pass fluid names and suitable IntegratorStep instances.

For example:

>>> integrator = Integrator(fluid=WCSPHStep(), solid=WCSPHStep())

where “fluid” and “solid” are the names of the particle arrays.

class pysph.sph.gas_dynamics.magma2.TVDRK2IntegratorWithRecycling(**kw)[source]

Bases: pysph.sph.integrator.Integrator

Total variation diminishing (TVD) second-order Runge–Kutta (RK2) integrator with recycling of derivatives. The system is advanced using:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}y^{*,n} = y^n + \Delta t f(y^{*,n-1})\\y^{n+1} = 0.5 (y^n + y^{*} + \Delta t f(y^{*,n}))\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
