Python tools for magnetic equilibria in tokamak plasmas
Project description
eqtools
Introduction
Python tools for magnetic equilibria in tokamak plasmas. Provides framework for portable, modular tools for manipulation of magnetic equilibria in tokamak plasmas, including mapping of flux surfaces into a variety of coordinate systems. Includes tools for handling EFIT data stored in Alcator C-Mod MDSPlus trees, as well as eqdsk files.
Full documentation is available at http://eqtools.readthedocs.org/
Package Dependencies
The following packages are required or recommended:
- NumPy: Required.
- SciPy: Required.
- F2PY: Optional, needed to build the optional
trispline
module. - matplotlib: Optional, needed to produce plot of flux surfaces.
- MDSplus: Optional, needed to use data stored in MDSplus trees.
- dd: Optional, needed to use data from ASDEX-Upgrade shotfiles.
All of these should be available via pip (and should be installed automatically if you run pip install eqtools
as described in the next section). If you wish to build in place, you may first need to run:
pip install numpy scipy f2py matplotlib
Installation
The easiest way to install the latest release version is with pip:
pip install eqtools
To install from source, uncompress the source files and, from the directory containing setup.py
, run the following command:
python setup.py install
Or, to build in place, run:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
If you build in place, you will also need to add your eqtools folder to your PYTHONPATH shell variable:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/where/you/put/eqtools/
Running Tests
Two tests are included:
-
test.py
uses the moduleSolovievEFIT
to compare the result fromeqtools
to Soloviev's analytic solution to the Grad-Shafranov equation for circular flux surfaces. Running this script in an interactive Python session will yield a number of plots, where you can verify that the analytic andeqtools
results agree. -
unittests.py
contains many tests of the internal consistency of the coordinate mapping routines. By default, it will try to access data from the Alcator C-Mod tree. If this is not possible, it will try to load its data from the filetest_data.pkl
. You may wish to modify the script to pull in data from your own local site to make sure the specific version you need is working properly. To run these tests, from the directory containingunittests.py
andtest_data.pkl
, run the command:python unittests.py
