fluiddyn 0.0.10a1

Framework for studying fluid dynamics.

FluidDyn is a framework for studying fluid dynamics. Most of the features are actually implemented in other packages (fluidsim, fluidlab). The project is still in a testing stage so it is still pretty unstable and many of its planned features have not yet been implemented.

It is the evolution of two other projects previously developed by Pierre Augier (CNRS researcher at LEGI, Grenoble): Solveq2d (a numerical code to solve fluid equations in a periodic two-dimensional space with a pseudo-spectral method, developed at KTH, Stockholm) and FluidLab (a toolkit to do experiments, developed in the G. K. Batchelor Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at DAMTP, University of Cambridge).

Key words and ambitions: fluid dynamics research with Python (2.7 or >= 3.3); modular, object-oriented, collaborative, tested and documented, free and open-source software.

Installation

You can get the source code from Bitbucket or from the Python Package Index.

The development mode is often useful. From the root directory:

python setup.py develop

Tests

From the root directory:

make tests

Or, from the root directory or from any of the “test” directories:

python -m unittest discover
