Flux through spherical surfaces
by Morgan MacLeod 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Dear all, I am hoping to calculate the flux of mass ("mdot") and angular momentum ("Ldot") through a series of concentric spherical surfaces in a simulation snapshot (centered around an absorbing "sink" within the grid). So far, I've attempted this along these lines: pf = load(fn) # load data rad = 0.1 sp = pf.h.sphere([0,0,0],1.1*rad) surf = pf.h.surface(sp,"Radius",rad) flux = surf.calculate_flux("x-velocity","y-velocity","z-velocity","Density") where flux gets assigned to the mass accretion rate in this case. I believe I could do the angular momentum by calculating the flux of a derived variable that is defined as data["SpecificAngularMomentumZ"] * data["Density"] such that the resulting units are angular momentum per volume. I was wondering if there is a better way to go about this calculation, it seems that others must have tried to look at similar questions. In particular, defining an "isoradius" surface seems to accomplish what I was hoping to do, but there must be a cleaner way. Thanks so much for your advice, Morgan

How to use if, elif, else statements in creating a derived field
by Reju Sam John 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Dear all, I would like to create a derived field which should return a value according to specified conditions. My definition of new field is shown below.. But it is giving error. @derived_field(name = "MyField") def my_new_field(field, data): if data.pf["MachNumber"] < 2 : return (.5* (data["MachNumber"])**2) - 1 elif data.pf["MachNumber"] < 100 : return (.5* (data["MachNumber"])**4) + (.5* (data["MachNumber"])**3) else: return 5.446361E-01 Please suggest me how to implement if, elif, else statements in creating a derived field. Thank You Reju Sam John

running out of memory in a loop
by Stephanie Tonnesen 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hi everyone, Okay, so I am trying to make a SlicePlot, a ProjectionPlot, and a phase_object for a bunch of different outputs. My code keeps using up all my memory and dying after the first loop. I am not using variables, I think, so how do I free up my memory at the end of each loop? See code below. Thanks, Stephanie import matplotlib.pylab as pl from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D from yt.mods import * def _xkpc(field,data): return(data["x"]*26.) def _ykpc(field,data): return(data["y"]*26.) def _zkpc(field,data): return(data["z"]*26.) def _CellMassSolar(field,data): return(data["CellMass"]/1.99e33) add_field("xkpc",function=_xkpc,units="kpc") add_field("ykpc",function=_ykpc,units="kpc") add_field("zkpc",function=_zkpc,units="kpc") add_field("CellMassSolar",function=_CellMassSolar,units=r'M$_{\odot}$') outstring = ['0020','0030','0040','0050','0060','0070','0080','0090','0100','0110','0120','0130'] i = 0 while i < len(outstring): pf = load("id0/rps."+outstring[i]+".vtk",parameters={"TimeUnits":3.086e14,"LengthUnits":8.0236e22,"DensityUnits":9.999e-30,"VelocityUnits":2.6e8}) p = SlicePlot(pf,"x","Density") p.set_log("Density", True) p.save() p2 = ProjectionPlot(pf,"x","Density") p2.set_log("Density", True) p2.save() alld = pf.h.all_data() pc = PlotCollection(pf) tracerp25 = alld.cut_region(["grid['specific_scalar[0]'] > 0.25", "grid['z'] > 0.04"]) tp25extrema = tracerp25.quantities["Extrema"]("Density") pc.add_phase_object(tracerp25,["zkpc","z-velocity","CellMassSolar"],weight=None,x_bins=50,y_bins=50,y_bounds = [-1e8,1.5e8],x_log=False,y_log=False) pc.set_zlim(10000,1e10) pc.save() i = i+1

Changing the cell range in add_phase_object
by Stephanie Tonnesen 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Hi everyone, So I am making a phase_object, plotting mass as a function of z vs z_velocity. Some of my [z,z-velocity] bins have very little mass in them, and I would like to limit the range of CellMass that is plotted--right now most of the interesting details are lost in a relatively small range of CellMass. Right now my range in the colormap is 1e35 to 1e42, and I want it to be 1e37 to 1e42, and ignore all bins below 1e37. Can I do that? Thanks, Stephanie

Hi all, I would like to plot 1D profile of quantity (say, density) averaged over 1 axis (say, x) from two-dimensional data. Is there any cheap way to do it? Thanks in advance, Sasha

Forcing a linear axis (well, actually two) on a phase plot
by Stephanie Tonnesen 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi Everyone, I am trying to make a phase plot, and I want both of my axes to be linear. I write: pc = PlotCollection(pf) tracerp25 = alld.cut_region(["grid['specific_scalar[0]'] > 0.25", "grid['z'] > 0.01"]) pc.add_phase_object(tracerp25,["z","velocity_z","CellMass"],weight=None) p.set_log("z",False) p.set_log("velocity_z",False) pc.save() And get the figure below. I am betting there is a simple command I am missing. Thanks! Stephanie

Stars particles
by Francia Riesco 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hello Everybody, I hope you are great! I have a question for you I am analyzing an Enzo data trying to get the center of mass of the Stars Particles. I am suing FOF linking_length = 0.017094633 haloes = FOFHaloFinder(pf, link=linking_length ,dm_only=False) for halo in haloes: ct = halo["creation_time"] sm = halo["ParticleMassMsun"] metal = halo["metallicity_fraction"] stars = (ct > 0) ct = ct[stars] sm = sm[stars] Is there a way to get sm.center_of_mass() or something similar to get the Center of Mass of the Stars Particles?? Thank you in Advance !

Hi John, looks like my version of join vtk script was broken. Stefaphanie Tonnesen gave me a working one, so now it works good. Sasha
