************** Basic Tutorial ************** The usual workflow in up4 consists of 4 steps: Converting, Generating grids, Analysis, and Plotting or short CGAP. This basic tutorial will go through each element in CGAP and explain what it does and how to use it. Data analysis ------------- Data analysis is done by methods of the :code:`up4.Data` class. The most important methods are: - :code:`up4.Data.vectorfield`: Calculates the velocity vector field of the data - :code:`up4.Data.velocityfield`: Calculates the magnitude velocity field of the data - :code:`up4.Data.numberfield`: Calculates the number field of the data .. code-block:: python import up4 data = up4.Data("path/to/data.hdf5") grid_car = up4.Grid.cartesian_from_data(data, cells =[20,20,20]) velocity_field = data.velocityfield(grid_car) All functions can be called with any type of grid. The velocity field in this example can also be calculated in cylindrical coordinates: .. code-block:: python import up4 data = up4.Data("path/to/data.hdf5") grid_cyl = up4.Grid.cylindrical_from_data(data, cells =[20,20,20]) velocity_field = data.velocityfield(grid_cyl) Data Visualisation ------------------ .. TODO update Visualisation is done by :code:`up4.Plotter2D`, which can visualise scalar and vector fields in 2D. If we reuse the example from above, plotting can be done by adding the following lines: .. code-block:: python from up4.plotting import Plotter2D dpi = 600 # nice quality image saving axis = 1 # look along y-axis index = 4 vector_field = data.vector_field(grid) # for vector plotting # style plot layout = dict( title = "Velocity vector field xz projection", xaxis_title = "x position (m)", yaxis_title = "z position (m)", ) style = dict( colorbar_title = "Magnitude (m/s)", zmin = 0.0, zmax = 0.6, ) # plot vector field vec_field_plotter = Plotter2D(vector_field) vec_fig = vec_field_plotter.unit_vector_plot( axis = axis, index = index, selection = "plane", layout = layout, style = style ) #save plot up4.save_fig(vec_fig, "unitv.png", dpi=dpi) Which, looks a little like this: .. image:: ../_static/unitv.png
