pyBarSim

pyBarSim is a Python package to simulate wave-dominated shallow-marine environments using Storms (2003)'s BarSim.

Installation

You can directly install pyBarSim from pip:

pip install pybarsim

Or from GitHub using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/grongier/pybarsim.git

Usage

Basic use:

import numpy as np
from pybarsim import BarSim2D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Set the parameters
run_time = 10000.
barsim = BarSim2D(np.linspace(1000., 900., 200),
                  np.array([(0., 950.), (run_time, 998.)]),
                  np.array([(0., 25.), (run_time, 5.)]),
                  spacing=100.)
# Run the simulation
barsim.run(run_time=10000., dt_fair_weather=15., dt_storm=1.)
# Interpolate the outputs into a regular grid
barsim.regrid(900., 1000., 0.5)
# Compute the mean grain size
barsim.finalize(on='record')
# Plot the median grid size in the regular grid
barsim.record_['Mean grain size'].plot(figsize=(12, 4))
plt.show()
