Grid Field Arrays¶
Field arrays are convenient ways (within code linked against the Enzo code base – including within Enzo itself!) to access grid data such as the baryon fields, or particle lists. They can also be used to get pre-defined derived fields, such as temperature. They are intended to be used by solvers, initializers, and analysis routines. The hope is provide a clean way for classes other than the grid to get to grid data, and to help make the current code base more modular.
Class Description¶
The array class is pretty simple: just enough to represent an
N-dimensional grid, without any spatial information. Here is the
heart of it, from EnzoArray.h
:
template<typename T>
class EnzoArray
{
public:
EnzoArray(int rank, int *dims, int *start, int *end,
FLOAT *cell_size=NULL, int derived=FALSE){
...
int Rank; // number of dimensions
int Dimension[MAX_DIMENSION]; // total dimensions of all grids
int StartIndex[MAX_DIMENSION]; // starting index of the active region
// (zero based)
int EndIndex[MAX_DIMENSION]; // stoping index of the active region
// (zero based)
FLOAT CellWidth[MAX_DIMENSION];
T *Array;
// used for velocities and positions
T *Vector[MAX_NUMBER_OF_PARTICLE_ATTRIBUTES];
...
};
#define EnzoArrayFLOAT EnzoArray<FLOAT>
#define EnzoArrayFloat EnzoArray<float>
#define EnzoArrayInt EnzoArray<int>
The array classes are really a single template, but the macros at the bottom of the header file will hide that from you.
Array vs. Vector¶
In the above code block, you’ll notice two pointers: T \*Array
; and
T \*Vector
. Here are the rules that these attributes follow: Only
one of these will be used, and which one is used depends on the
type of data you try to access. Namely, field data, such as
density, will be pointed to by Array
, and vector data, such as
velocities or particle positions, will be pointed to by Vector
.
Destructor (What Gets Deleted)¶
When the destructor is called, Array
and Vector
get deleted
only if derived
is TRUE. This is to keep the usage (declare and
delete) similar for both derived and underived data. We really
don’t want to delete the density field on accident.
Access Methods¶
There are six accessor methods declared in
Grid.h
, two per data type
(float
, int
, and FLOAT
).
EnzoArrayInt *CreateFieldArrayInt(field_type field);
EnzoArrayInt *CreateFieldArrayInt(char *field_name);
EnzoArrayFloat *CreateFieldArrayFloat(field_type field);
EnzoArrayFloat *CreateFieldArrayFloat(char *field_name);
EnzoArrayFLOAT *CreateFieldArrayFLOAT(field_type field);
EnzoArrayFLOAT *CreateFieldArrayFLOAT(char *field_name);
These methods are defined in
Grid_CreateFieldArray.C
.
Basically, they allocate a new
EnzoArray
, fill in the dimensions, attach the relevant pointers,
and hand it back to. All you need to do is delete the return
object.
Field Numbers and Names¶
The arguments to are either a field number, defined in
typedefs.h
, or the
string version of the same. The string versions are defined in a
long
array, named field_map
in
Grid_CreateFieldArray.C
.
This means you can access something as
EnzoArrayFloat *density_array = mygrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat(Density);
or
EnzoArrayFloat *density_array = mygrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat("Density");
There are some fields which have names that are the same as grid
attributes, like ParticlePosition
. Rather than have a huge
namespace conflict, these have field numbers prefixed with a “g”,
e.g., gParticlePosition
. The string called is still just
“ParticlePosition”, like
EnzoArrayFloat *ppos = mygrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat(gParticlePosition);
or
EnzoArrayFloat *ppos = mygrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat("ParticlePosition");
The important part of the map is that it knows the data type of the
fields, which you need to know, so you can call the right method.
This is really pretty simple, since just about everything returned
is a float
. For a complete list of the (hopefully current) fields,
see the section Field_List_Reference. For the best reference,
check in typedefs.h
,
and Grid_CreateFieldArray.C
.
Using the Methods¶
Here’s a somewhat long-winded example of how to use the arrays. First, here’s function to create a non-uniform grid
grid *Linear3DGrid(){
// Create a new 3D grid
float dens = M_PI, total_energy = 0.5, internal_energy = 0.0;
float vel[3];
int dims[3];
FLOAT left[3], right[3];
grid *lineargrid = new grid;
int i, j, k, rank = 3;
int index;
for (i = 0; i < rank; i++) {
dims[i] = 134;
left[i] = 0.0;
right[i] = 1.0;
vel[i] = (i+1) * 0.125;
}
NumberOfParticleAttributes = 0;
lineargrid->PrepareGrid(3, dims,
left, right, 2);
int result = lineargrid->InitializeUniformGrid(dens, total_energy, internal_energy, vel);
assert(result != FAIL);
EnzoArrayFloat *dens_field = lineargrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat("Density");
for (k = 3; k <= 130; k++) {
for (j = 3; j <= 130; j++) {
index = k*(134)*(134) +
j*(134) + 3;
for (i = 3; i <= 130; i++, index++) {
dens_field->Array[index] = (float)(i + 1000*j + 1000000*k);
}
}
}
delete dens_field;
return lineargrid;
}
Notice how this function uses CreateFieldArrayFloat
to set the
values of the density array.
Now, here’s a program that creates a uniform grid, and looks at some of the attributes:
Eint32 main(Eint32 argc, char *argv[]) {
CommunicationInitialize(&argc, &argv);
grid *agrid = Linear3DGrid();
EnzoArrayFloat *dens = agrid->CreateFieldArrayFloat(Density);
Eint32 index = 7 + 8*134 + 9*134*134;
printf("density rank = %"ISYM"\n", dens->Rank);
printf("density dim[0] = %"ISYM"\n", dens->Dimension[0]);
printf("density start[0] = %"ISYM"\n", dens->StartIndex[0]);
printf("density end[0] = %"ISYM"\n", dens->EndIndex[0], 130);
printf("density field[7 + 8*134 + 9*134*134] = %"FSYM"\n", dens->Array[index]);
delete dens;
delete agrid;
// End the overall test suite
CommunicationFinalize();
return 0;
}
This is a complete program,
field_array_example.C
;
what this snippet lacks is the fairly
long list of header files that need to be included. You can compile
this by calling make field_array_example.exe
in source directory.
