Hi,

There are several ways, but assuming you have vtk files as in the example here

http://yt-project.org/doc/examining/loading_data.html?highlight=athena

this function returns a dictionary of specified variables:

def get2DAthenaData(vtk_file,variables):

data = {}

ds = yt.load(vtk_file)

gs = ds.index.select_grids(ds.index.max_level)

grid = gs[0] #assuming SMR wasn't used

for var in variables:

data[var] = grid[var][:,:,0]

return data

Example usage:

data = get2DAthenaData('kh.0010.vtk', ['density','pressure','vorticity_z'])

rho = data['density']

p = data['pressure']

w = data['vorticity_z']

So if you just want to have access to 1D profiles to compare with a 1D solution, rho[:,0] would be the 1D density profile along x at the first y index.  

If you instead want to make 2D images, you can just generate the dataset ds and then look into FixedResolutionBuffer.

Hi.

I ran a 2D simulation with Athena and exported the data to vtk files. I was even able to load the file with yt and inspect some of its elements. What I would like to do is to compare the density from the simulation to an analytic solution (which I can evaluate at the grid points). The problem is I cannot figure out how to extract the relevant information from the yt.frontends.athena.data_structures.AthenaDataset object. What I expect are 2d arrays of the x coordinate, y coordinate and density.

Thanks in Advance,

Almog
