PyClaw Geometry
The PyClaw geometry package contains the classes used to define the
geometry of a Solution object. The base container
for all other geometry is the Domain object. It
contains a list of Patch objects that reside inside
of the Domain.
Patch
represents a piece of the domain that could be a different resolution than
the others, have a different coordinate mapping, or be used to construct
complex domain shapes.
It contains Dimension
objects that define the extent of the Patch and the
number of grid cells in each dimension. Patch also
contains a reference to a nearly identical Grid
object. The Grid object also contains a set of
Dimension objects describing its extent and number
of grid cells. The Grid is meant to represent the
geometry of the data local to the process in the case of a parallel run. In
a serial simulation the Patch and
Grid share the same dimensions.
In the case where only one Patch object exists in
a Domain but it is run with four processes in
parallel, the Domain hierarchy could look like:
In the most complex case with multiple patches and a parallel run we may
have the following:
