bmi.grid_rectilinear module

Interface that describes rectilinear grids.

class bmi.grid_rectilinear.BmiGridRectilinear

Bases: bmi.grid.BmiGrid

Methods that describe a rectilinear grid.

In a 2D rectilinear grid, every grid cell (or element) is a rectangle but different cells can have different dimensions. All cells in the same row have the same grid spacing in the y direction and all cells in the same column have the same grid spacing in the x direction. Grid spacings can be computed as the difference of successive x or y values.

Methods

get_grid_rank(grid_id)	Get number of dimensions of the computational grid.
get_grid_shape(grid_id)	Get dimensions of the computational grid.
get_grid_size(grid_id)	Get the total number of elements in the computational grid.
get_grid_type(grid_id)	Get the grid type as a string.
get_grid_x(grid_id)	Get coordinates of grid nodes in the streamwise direction.
get_grid_y(grid_id)	Get coordinates of grid nodes in the transverse direction.
get_grid_z(grid_id)	Get coordinates of grid nodes in the normal direction.

get_grid_shape(grid_id)

Get dimensions of the computational grid.

Parameters:

grid_id : int

A grid identifier.

Returns:

tuple of int

The dimensions of the grid.

bmi.vars.BmiVars.get_var_grid

Obtain a grid_id.

Notes

/* C */
int get_grid_shape(void * self, const char * var_name,
                   int * shape);

get_grid_x(grid_id)

Get coordinates of grid nodes in the streamwise direction.

Parameters:

grid_id : int

A grid identifier.

Returns:

array_like of float

The positions of the grid nodes.

get_grid_y(grid_id)

Get coordinates of grid nodes in the transverse direction.

Parameters:

grid_id : int

A grid identifier.

Returns:

array_like of float

Parameters:

grid_id : int

A grid identifier.

Returns:

array_like of float

The positions of the grid nodes.
