About

A python script to generate movie with the output of the MAOOAM model.

Requirements

This code needs:

• Python 2
• FFmpeg
• Matplotlib
• Numpy

See environment.yml for a list of requirements. This file can also be used to create an Anaconda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate movie-script

Usage

./movie-script.py <data-filename> <ageom> <ogeom>

Example:

./movie-script.py ./data/test.dat 2x4 2x4

• WARNING 1/2 : Assume that the spectral "geometry" of the model is contiguous. E.g. a "2x4" geometry means that all the mode with x- and y-wavenumber <= 2 and 4 respectively are included in the model.

• WARNING 2/2 : Assume the mode indexing convention proposed in

  By default, Lua and python implementation of MAOOAM use this indexing convention, but the the fortran one is more flexible, and care must taken when configuring it.
