mode for calculating E_un0, the electric field in the neutral frame, where u_n=0.

None, ‘un=u’, ‘un=0’, ‘E0_perpB’, ‘E0_perpmodB’, or ‘E0_perpmodB_min’.
None –> E_un0 = E + u_n x B. (i.e., E & u_n in “lab frame” then transform to u_n=0 frame.)
‘un=u’ –> E_un0 = E + u x B. (i.e., assume un==u; transform to the u=0 frame.)
[EFF] if self.has_var(‘E_u0’), use E_un0 = self(‘E_u0’) directly, without getting u;
assumes self(‘E_u0’) provides “E without the u x B contribution”.
If E_u0 not available, this mode requires ‘u’ to not vary with fluid.
‘un=0’ –> E_un0 = E. (i.e., assume un==0 already; no need to shift frames.)
‘E0_perpB’ –> E_un0 = E0_un0_perpB. (i.e., E perp to B in u_n=0 frame,
assuming zeroth order equilibrium velocities from multifluid equations,
including only collisions with neutrals,
and considering only E (& J) perp to B; ignoring E0 (& J) parallel to B.)
‘E0_perpmodB’ –> |E_un0 perp to B| = E0_un0_perpmodB (== |E0_un0_perpB|). E_un0 = E0_un0_perpB.
[EFF] equivalent to using E0_perpB, except that, when getting |E_un0 perp to B|,
will use the more efficient formula for E0_un0_perpmodB.
‘E0_perpmodB_min’ –> |E_un0 perp to B| = E0_un0_perpmodB_min. E_un0 = crash; cannot get E_un0 directly.
(i.e., minimum possible value of |E_un0 perp to B|, regardless of collision frequencies;
E0_un0_perpmodB_min = (1/sqrt(2)) * |B| |J_perp_B| / (ne |qe|).
See help(self.get_E0_un0_perpmodB_min) for details.)
__call__(var, *args, name=UNSET, item=False, verbose=UNSET, **kw)

returns value of var from self.

result is probably an xarray.DataArray, but not guaranteed.
var: str or iterable of strs.
Name of the var(s) to load. E.g. ‘n’ for number density, or [‘n’, ‘u’] for number density & velocity.
If multiple vars: returns an xarray.Dataset of all vars, via self.get_vars.

Determine how to load each var, as follows:
- (caching) if var in self.cache, with matching self.behavior_attrs, use value from cache.
[TODO] - caching not yet implemented. May allow for better efficiency.
- (setvars) if var in self.setvars, with matching self.behavior_attrs, use value from setvars.
[TODO] - improve set_var functionality.
set_var will allow user to apply PlasmaCalcs calculations to arbitrary values,
not just values from one of the hookups. Useful for testing & quick calculations.
- (KNOWN_VARS) if var in self.KNOWN_VARS,
use the corresponding function to get it.
- (KNOWN_PATTERNS) if var matches a pattern from self.KNOWN_PATTERNS,
use the corresponding function to get it.
- (direct) attempt to load var “directly”, via self.load_direct.
load_direct will almost always end up loading values directly from a file (e.g., “data”).
However, there is one more chance for it to get intercepted: via direct_overrides.
- (direct_overrides) if var in self.direct_overrides, attempts self.direct_overrides[var].
The idea is to use direct_overrides when requiring alternate instructions for
what would otherwise be a “base” var.
E.g., ‘n’ may be a “base” var, but if quasineutral then ‘ne’ is not saved in a file;
so, base_overrides[<key for density>] may tell how to get ‘ne’.
Note: for overrides which depend on current state, use direct_overrides_dynamic.
For overrides which are “always” implemented (not toggled by other things), use direct_overrides.
- (fromfile) load_direct uses self.load_fromfile whenever direct_overrides is not applicable.

Those are checked in the order listed.
If none of those work, raise FormulaMissingError.
name: UNSET, None, or str
try to set result.name = name.
UNSET –> use name = var.
item: bool
if True, convert result to single value (e.g., python float) via result.item().
This will cause crash if result is not a single value;
it will also cause all metadata stored in the result to be lost.
verbose: UNSET, bool, or int
set self.verbose during this call to self.
UNSET –> use self.verbose (unchanged)
kw may additionally contain any keys from self.kw_call_options().
if it does, pop those values, and temporarily set the corresponding attr.
E.g.: self(‘n’, units=’si’, fluid=1)
–> temporarily set units=’si’, fluid=1, while getting ‘n’.
See self.help_call_options() for more details.
[EFF] passes _match=re.fullmatch(pattern, var) to the getter function,
if the match is from KNOWN_PATTERNS (but not if it is from KNOWN_VARS).
__getitem__(snapi)

sets self.snap, then returns self.

Examples:
self[4] –> self.snap = 4
self[:5] –> self.snap = slice(0, 5)
self[-1] –> self.snap = -1
self[‘2’] –> self.snap = ‘2’
self[self.snaps[7]] –> self.snap = self.snaps[7]
self[[0,4,7,3]] –> self.snap = [0,4,7,3]
Note this is ‘smart’ in the same way that setting self.snap is ‘smart’;
will attempt self.snaps.get(snapi).
See help(self.snaps.get) for more details.
This enables “shorthand” syntax, e.g. self[3](‘n’) gets ‘n’ at self.snap=3.
__getstate__()

return state for pickling. pickle default ignores class attr (parenthesis_memory) but we need it.

classmethod __init_subclass__(*, dimension=None, dim_plural=None, **kw_super)

called when subclassing DimensionHaver; sets some useful attributes related to dimension.

dimension: str or None
name of dimension associated with this subclass.
if None, no particular dimension associated with this subclass.
dim_plural: str or None
plural form of dimension. if None, use str(dimension)+’s’.
Sets various attributes in cls:
cls._dimension = dimension,
cls._dim_plural = dim_plural,
cls._dim_types = dict of all {dimension name: Dimension subclass} from cls and cls.__bases__
(note - connecting self._dimension to this dict is not handled here;
it is handled by __setup_haver__ called by Dimension.setup_haver)
__iter__()

equivalent to self.iter_snaps()

__len__()

equivalent to len(self.snaps)

__setstate__(state)

set state for pickling. pickle default ignores class attr (parenthesis_memory) but we need it.

_apply_toplevel_scale_coords(arr)

apply self.toplevel_scale_coords to arr, if nonempty, else return arr unchanged.

_array_compatible_with_current_behavior(array, *, return_info=False)

returns whether array is compatible with current self.behavior.

Compatible if all of the following are true:

(1) All attrs appearing in array.attrs & self.behavior must be equal.
E.g., if ‘units’ in both, need array.attrs[‘units’] == self.behavior[‘units’].
(2) All attrs appearing in self.behavior.nondefault(include_xr=False) must appear in array.attrs.
E.g., if ‘blur_sigma’ in self.behavior.nondefault(), need ‘blur_sigma’ in array.attrs.
(3) [TODO] If self.behavior.nondefault(include_xr=’only’) has any values,
they must match values saved to arrays in os.path.join(array.attrs[‘filepath’], ‘behavior_arrays’)
E.g., if ‘tfbi_grid1_zeros’ appears, need self.behavior[‘tfbi_grid1_zeros’].equals(behavarr),
where behavarr = xarray_load(… the array at ‘behavior_arrays/tfbi_grid1_zeros.pcxarr’))
[TODO] currently, caching behavior array values is not implemented;
see type(self).caches_behavior_skip_xr for details.
(4) All appearing in array and self.behavior.dims must be equal.
E.g., if ‘fluid’ in both, need array_equal(array[‘fluid’].values, self.behavior.dims[‘fluid’])
(5) If array.attrs has ‘pc__version__’ and/or ‘pc__commit_hash’,
they must match the current PlasmaCalcs version and commit hash, if known.
return_info: bool
whether to instead return (result, reason of mismatch, key, array value, behavior value).

return the single fluid or jfluid corresponding to this input.

fluid_or_jfluid: Fluid, str, int, or other fluid specifier
attempts self._as_single_fluid(fluid_or_jfluid).
if FluidKeyError, do self._as_single_jfluid(fluid_or_jfluid) instead.
(if both fail, raise FluidKeyError.)
(similar to _as_single_jfluid_or_fluid, but here looks in self.fluids first.)
_as_single_jfluid_or_fluid(jfluid_or_fluid)

return the single jfluid or fluid corresponding to this input.

jfluid_or_fluid: Fluid, str, int, or other fluid specifier
attempts self._as_single_jfluid(jfluid_or_fluid).
if FluidKeyError, do self._as_single_fluid(jfluid_or_fluid) instead.

returns the ‘dep’ associated with this var for _get_braced_int_from_parenthesis_memory

_cache_dst(array_or_name)

return abspath for cached array, given array (or name of array).

(if DataArray, uses array.name; if Dataset, must provide name as str instead.)
result will include .pcxarr extension.
if inferred name includes ‘/’, crash (and suggest to use ÷ character instead).
_call_loader0_at_dimpoint(dimpoint, loader0, args_loader, *, nload, MBmax, **kw_loader)

return self._call_loader_at_dimpoint(dimpoint, loader0, …).

Also does memory size check based on nload and MBmax.

_call_loader_at_dimpoint(dimpoint, loader, args_loader, **kw_loader)

with self.using(**dimpoint): return loader(*args_loader, **kw_loader)

_call_postprocess(result, *, var, name=UNSET, item=UNSET)

result: any value, probably an xarray.DataArray
result from self.__call__, before postprocessing.
var, name, item: UNSET or value
passed directly from self.__call__.
The implementation here does the following (subclasses might override / add to this):
(1) if self.verbose >= 4, print a message about getting var.
(2) result = self.attach_extra_coords(result).
(3) if name was provided, set result.name = name, if possible.
(4) if self.assign_behavior_attrs at this call depth, do so now.
(5) if self.call_depth == 1, call self._call_postprocess_toplevel.
(6) if item, convert result to single value via result.item().

result: any value, probably an xarray.DataArray
result from self.__call__, after other postprocessing.

returns result of applying statfunc to self(var). (Used when self.stats_dimpoint_wise=True.)

min_split: UNSET or int
[EFF] min length of dimension before actually applying dimpointwise stats along it.
1 –> no minimum. If MemorySizeError when min_split > 1, try again but with min_split=1.
UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.STATS_DIMPOINT_WISE_MIN_SPLIT.
_get_statfunc_of_var(var, statfunc)

the varname to test for matches.
key from self.KNOWN_VARS.keys(), or key.str from self.KNOWN_PATTERNS.keys().
v: LoadableQuantity
the LoadableQuantity to test for matches.
value from self.KNOWN_VARS.values() or self.KNOWN_PATTERNS.values().
matches if any of these are true:
qstr == ‘’
qstr in k.split(‘_’) # size limitation and split(‘_’) because, e.g. during help(‘n’),
len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in k # want vars related to number density, not all vars with the letter ‘n’.
qstr in module.split(‘.’) (where, module == v.get_f_module(cls))
‘.’ in qstr and qstr in module
len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in value from module.split(‘.’)
len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in v.fname
re.fullmatch(k, qstr) # if k is a Pattern
otherwise, does not match.
_increment_call_depth()

context manager for incrementing call_depth.

use “with self._increment_call_depth():” inside of __call__, e.g.:

def __call__(self, *args, **kw):
with self._increment_call_depth():
# do stuff; possibly including calling self again.
Equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.increment()
_load_across_dims_postprocess(arrs, dims, *, it_dimnames, assign_coords, isel=None)

postprocessing results from load_across_dims, after all tasks have been completed.

i.e., after all arrays have been loaded, join them all together.
_load_across_dims_postprocess__arrs_to_nparr(arr0, arrs)

returns single numpy array (with the data from arrs, which is an array of arrays).

_load_across_dims_postprocess__broadcast_shapes(arr0, arrs, it_dimnames)

handles array broadcasting for _load_across_dims_postprocess.

returns (arr0, arrs), but with all arrs having the same shape as arr0. Crash if not possible.

CAUTION: may edit arrs in-place.

(Won’t edit individual arrays’ data; just arrs which contains the arrays.)
NOTE: arr0 in result isn’t necessarily arrs.flat[0].
arr0 in result is the “model array”, used to model coords & dims on.
arr0 = first DataArray with size == max(size) across all arrays.
E.g. if array shapes are [(), (), (7,1), (1,3), (7,3), (7,3) ()],
then use arr0 = the first DataArray with shape (7,3).
if neither array with shape (7,3) is a DataArray (i.e., has coords…)
then crash instead (because we can’t properly assign coords to result.)

it_dimnames: list of names of iterable dimensions; sometimes included in error message.

_load_maindims_var_with_labels(var, *args, **kw)

equivalent to self.load_maindims_var(var, *args, assign_labels=True, **kw)

_load_maindims_var_without_labels(var, *args, **kw)

equivalent to self.load_maindims_var(var, *args, assign_labels=False, **kw)

_max_n_requires_float64()

returns whether max supported n, in self.units unit system, is too big for float32.

max supported n, in SI units, is DEFAULTS.MHD_MAX_SAFE_N_SI
crash with ValueError if max supported n is too big for float64 as well.
without this check (and conversion to float64 if needed), some n values might become inf.
_multi_slices_cls

alias of MultiSlices

_multi_slices_dims_default()

function to get multi_slices dims, by default.

Would love to use (lambda: self.maindims) instead of this function,
however lambdas are not pickleable, thus incompatible with multiprocessing module.
Providing this function allows the default multi_slices to still be pickleable.
_new_fft_slices()

Called when self.fft_slices accessed but not yet set; create & return new FFTSlices.

_new_multi_slices(**kw)

called when self.multi_slices accessed but not yet set; create & return new MultiSlices.

classmethod _parenthesis_converted_var(before, here, after)

returns the var after converting it from var like ‘{before}({here}){after}’.

use same before & after, but use {i} instead of here.
Looks like: f’{before}{{{key}}}{after}’ where key=int, unique to this var.
_parenthesis_dep(_var, groups)

returns the ‘dep’ associated with this var for get_parenthesis.

_pop_kw_call_options(kw)

pop all self.kw_call_options() from kw, returning dict of popped options.

_pre_and_post_deriv_slices(x)

return slices to apply before & after differentiation. (result is a 2-tuple of dicts.)

x: str, or list of str.
only slices relevant to these dimensions will be adjusted.
(e.g. there’s no need to touch ‘y’ slices during ddx.)
Result depends primarily on self.deriv_before_slice.
Note if self.deriv_before_slice=False, this method just returns (self.slices, {}).
_print_or_warn(msg, debug_thresh=1)

if DEBUG>=debug_thresh, print msg. Else, warnings.warn(msg).

_provided_val(var, _val=None, _known_vals={})

returns the value of var, either from _known_vals or _val.

if _val provided, return it; if ‘_{var}’ in _known_vals, return it;
if both provided, crash with InputConflictError (unless they are the same object),
else, return None.
Can use this internally to avoid redundant recalculations. (See e.g. VectorArithmeticLoader)
_repr_contents()

return list of contents to go in repr of self.

_set_collisions_crosstab_defaults_from(mode='bruno', *, e=None, H_I=None, H_II=None, He_I=None, He_II=None, He_III=None, crossmap=None)

set as many CROSS_TABLE_DEFAULTS cross sections as possible, for provided fluids.

see also: self.set_collisions_crosstab_defaults - it provides relevant fluids from self.
e.g. if provided e, H_I, H_II, He_II, would set:
crossmap[e, H_I] = ‘e-h’
crossmap[H_II, H_I] = ‘h-p’
crossmap[He_II, H_I] = ‘h-he’
crossmap[H_I, H_I] = ‘h-h’
if provided more fluids, would set more crossmaps too.
see self.CROSS_TABLE_DEFAULTS for list of available defaults.
mode: ‘bruno’ or ‘vranjes’
tells which defaults to use. (bruno is probably more accurate than vranjes.)
e, H_I, H_II, He_I, He_II, He_III: None, Fluid, int, str, or other fluid specifier.
specifiers for electrons, H(neutral), H+, He(neutral), He+, He++ fluids.
None –> do not set default cross tables related to this fluid.
else –> will find corresponding Fluid value in self.fluids or self.jfluids.
crossmap: None or CrossMapping
if provided, set values in crossmap instead of in self.collisions_cross_mapping.
_slice_maindims_numpy(array, *, h5=False)

slice first len(maindims) dims of array, using self.slices.

h5: bool
whether ‘array’ might be an h5py dataset.
if True, handle negative step in the intuitive way;
i.e. slice with positive step, to select the expected points, then reverse order.
(This is necessary because h5 datasets crash when sliced by negative step…)
_slices_which_scalarize()

return list of maindims which become scalars when hit by self.slices.

_special_dims_shifters(dimnames, _shift_special)

return (dict for self.using(…), dict for result.isel(…)) to _shift_special_dims.

See docs of load_across_dims for more details.
_tfbi_vs_EBspeed_file()

returns expected abspath to file for storing tfbi solution across EBspeed grid.

Depends on current value of self.tfbi_EBspeed_grid_size.
Does not check whether file exists already
(might use this to find existing file, or to determine filepath for saving result.)
Result is like:
{self.unique_notes_dirname}/_pc_tfbi/EBspeed_{logmin:.4g}_{logmax:.4g}_{logstep:.4g}.pcxarr
_upcast_if_max_n_requires_float64(array)

if max n requires float64, upcast array to float64,

unless array’s dtype was already float64 or larger (in which case, just return array).
see self._max_n_requires_float64 for details on when max n requires float64.
static angle_xy(A)

return angle between +xhat and A, in the xy plane, in radians.

A should be a DataArray (or Dataset) with x and y in ‘component’ dimension.
A can be any vector (does not need to be a unit vector, but it can be.)
static angle_xy_to_hat(A)

return unit vector u, given angle [radians] between +xhat and u in the xy plane.

Equivalent: cos(A) * xhat + sin(A) * yhat.
apply_mask(arr, masking=UNSET)

apply self.mask to arr, using self.masking to determine masking.

arr must have dims from self.mask.dims.
masking: UNSET, bool, ‘stacked’, or ‘simple’
UNSET –> use self.masking.
True –> alias for ‘stacked’
‘stacked’ –> apply stacked mask to self.stack(arr), dropping masked points.
‘simple’ –> apply mask to arr, filling masked regions with np.nan.
will crash with ValueError if masking corresponds to False, or if self.mask is None.
property array_MBmax

UNSET, None, or number

maximum result size allowed, in Megabytes.
will raise a MemorySizeError if result size would be larger than this.
UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.ARRAY_MBYTES_MAX (default: 1000 MB).
None –> no limit.
Assumes that each result (at each dimpoint) will be the same size.
as_single_dimpoint(values=None, *, dims=None, **values_as_kw)

return DimPoint with values for dims, but raise DimensionValueError if any value is_iterable_dim.

values: None or dict
values to use for the dimpoint.
values will be joined with **values_as_kw; provided any of either will be equivalent.
E.g. can use values={‘fluid’: ‘e’} or use fluid=’e’.
if any are provided –> use values corresponding to self.{dim}=values[dim] for dim in dims.
else –> use values of self.{dim} for dim in dims. (equivalent: self.dims_apply(‘_as_single’, dims=dims))
dims: None or iterable of strs appearing in self.dimensions.keys()
dimensions to include.
None –> infer dimensions from keys of values (and values_as_kw).
if no values were provided (values=None, and empty values_as_kw),
use all dimensions from self.dimensions.keys().
additional kwargs provide other {dim: value} items.
Examples:
self.as_single_dimpoint() –> DimPoint({dim: self.{dim} for dim in self.dimensions})
self.as_single_dimpoint({‘fluid’: ‘e’}) –> DimPoint({‘fluid’: ‘e’})
self.as_single_dimpoint(fluid=’e’) –> DimPoint({‘fluid’: ‘e’})
self.as_single_dimpoint({‘fluid’: ‘e’}, snap=0) –> DimPoint({‘fluid’: ‘e’, ‘snap’: 0})
self.as_single_dimpoint(dims=[‘fluid’, ‘snap’]) –> DimPoint({‘fluid’: self.fluid, ‘snap’: self.snap})
assert_QN()

asserts self.quasineutral. if not self._assert_QN, instead does not assert self.quasineutral.

property assert_masking

whether to assert self.masking != False and mask is not None, when getting values.

assert_single_fluid_mode(varname='var', *, mode='getting')

asserts that self is in single fluid mode; else crash.

varname: str
name of var to include in error message if crashing.
mode: str, ‘getting’ or ‘setting’
determines error type & error message if crashing.
‘getting’ –> FluidValueError, with error message starting like:
“{type(self)} getting {varname} requires self.in_single_fluid_mode…”
‘setting’ –> SetvarNotImplementedError, with error message starting like:
“var={varname}, when self not in_single_fluid_mode…”
Use for operations which directly assume single fluid mode (e.g. get_r implementation here).
Not necessary for operations which apply regardless of number of fluids,
E.g. n = r / m for any number of fluids, and B is always independent of fluid.
If unsure, err on the side of caution and use this function,
to require multifluid subclass to explicitly handle the situation else crash.
property assign_behavior_attrs

whether to assign self.behavior values as attrs of result when calling self.

False –> don’t use self.behavior code architecture to assign attrs.
True –> equivalent to ‘nondefault’
‘nondefault’ –> self.behavior.assign_nondefault_attrs(result)
(for brevity, it does not assign behavior attrs with “default” value.)
‘all’ –> self.behavior.assign_attrs(result).
[EFF] only assigns attrs at call_depth >= self.assign_behavior_attrs_max_call_depth.
(default: only assigns attrs at call_depth=1, i.e. at top level.
property assign_behavior_attrs_max_call_depth

max call_depth at which to assign_behavior_attrs to result,

if self.assign_behavior_attrs indicates to assign behavior attrs.
default 1, i.e. only assign if at top level.
Use None to indicate “no max detph”.
property assign_behavior_attrs_skip_xr

during self.behavior.assign_nondefault_attrs.
Use this if you want to assign behavior attrs EXCEPT array-valued behavior attrs.

Assumes array is an xarray and does not have any dimensions in self.
(array is not edited directly; returns result of assigning coords.)
dims: iterable of dimensions in self
assign only these dimensions as coords. (use all dimensions if len(dims)==0)
skip: iterable of dimensions in self
do not assign these dimensions as coords.
property assign_fluid_along

array must have same shape as implied by maindims and coords.
if array is 0D, just return a 0D xr.DataArray.
returns an xarray with proper details for PlasmaCalcs.
This function creates a *new* xarray based on array, and maindims & coords are >0 dimensional.
This is not like assign_{dim}_coord functions, which assign 0D coord to an existing xarray.
property assign_snap_along

alias to self.snap_dim.assign_coord_along

property assign_snap_coord

alias to self.snap_dim.assign_coord

property assume_un

None, ‘u’, or xarray.DataArray to assume for u_neutral.

value to assume for u_neutral (used when calculating u_neutral, and E_un0 if E_un0_mode=None).
None –> cannot determine u_n (crash if trying to get it).
‘u’ –> assume u_n = self(‘u’). Maybe reasonable for weakly-ionized plasma.
in this case, E_un0 = E_u0, i.e. E(u=0 frame) == E(u_n=0 frame).
xarray.DataArray –> assume these values for u_n.
Should have ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’ components.
attach_extra_coords(arr)

attach any self.extra_coords to array arr but only if it is an xarray.DataArray or xarray.Dataset

property behavior

dict of {attr: self.attr} for attr in self.behavior_attrs. Note dims are separate;

dims go in behavior.dims. E.g. Behavior({‘units’:’si’,…}, dims={‘snap’:0,…}).
property behavior_attrs

list of attrs in self which control behavior of self.

Here, returns self.cls_behavior_attrs.

None –> use DEFAULTS.GAUSSIAN_FILTER_SIGMA (default: 1.0)
property cache_dirname

abspath to directory for containing cached values of this CachesLoader.

Default: {self.dirname}/_pc_caches if self.dirname exists, else raise InputMissingError. Caution: PlasmaCalcs may delete files with ‘_pc_caches’ in their path, without warning.

property caches_behavior_skip_xr

where to skip array-valued behavior attrs when caching arrays (to _pc_caches)

and when checking compatibility with already-cached arrays (in _pc_caches).

CAUTION: if True, might give subtly incorrect results if the relevant array-valued behavior attrs change.

Eventually, caching should save array-valued attrs too, but it’s trickier so this is a workaround for now.
property call_depth

depth of the current call to self. depth = number of calls to self from within self.

E.g., call_depth while calculating gyrofrequency:

# call_depth == 0, for any code run here (outside any call to self).
self(‘gyrof’)
# call_depth == 1, for any code run here (inside ‘gyrof’ call but not inside deeper calls).
q = self(‘q’)
# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘q’ call.
mod_B = self(‘mod_B’)
# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘mod_B’ call.
self(‘B’)
# call_depth == 3, for code inside ‘B’ call.
m = self(‘m’)
# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘m’ call.
result = q * mod_B / m
Cannot be set directly; can only be manipulated via self.call_depth_manager.
property call_depth_manager

stores the value of call_depth, and helps to manage attrs dependent on call_depth value.

check_pickle(x=None)

checks that self (or, x, if provided) is pickleable, by pickling then unpickling.

Returns result of unpickling. Useful for debugging.
classmethod cls_help(qstr=None, only=None, *, tree=None, modules=False, signature=False, doc=True, dense=False, print=True, **kw)

‘PATTERNS’ –> only get help with KNOWN_PATTERNS.
‘TREE’ –> only get help with quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(str).
‘EXACT’ –> only get help for the KNOWN_VAR exactly matching qstr.
if provided when qstr is None, treat qstr as ‘’ instead.
tree: None or bool
How much help to give for quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).
False –> don’t even check cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).
True –> help for all quantities in cls.cls_var_tree.
None –> help for quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).flat_branches_until_vars()
i.e. patterns & vars in tree but ignore any nodes with LoadableVar ancestors.
e.g. qstr=’mean_mod_beta’ –> help with ‘mean_(.+)’, ‘mod_(.+)’, and ‘beta’,
but no help with dependencies of ‘beta’ (‘q’, ‘mod_B’, ‘m’).
modules: bool
Whether to include modules in result.
If True, result will be grouped into sections with modules written at top.

for convenient methods to build the cross mapping, see:
self.set_collisions_crosstab, self.set_collisions_crosstab_defaults.
property collisions_mode

str, the collisions mode to use when getting nusj. See COLLISIONS_MODE_OPTIONS for details.

Note that you can always calculate collisions using a specific formula with the appropriate var,
regardless of collisions_mode; e.g., nusj_maxwell will always use maxwell formula.

property component_dim

component dimension for ComponentHaver.

component_dim_cls

alias of ComponentDimension

property component_is_iterable

alias to self.component_dim.is_iterable

A, B: xarray.DataArray
vectors to take cross product of.
must include ‘component’ dimension including coordinates y and z.
yz: None or iterable of two (int, str, or Component) objects
the other two components; (x,y,z) should form a right-handed coordinate system.
if not provided, infer from x.
missing_ok: bool, default False
whether it is okay for ‘component’ dimension to be missing y or z components, of A or B.
if True, treat any missing components as 0.
cross_components_needed()

return the components vectors need in order to find all cross product components in self.component_list

e.g. if self.component == ‘x’, return (‘y’, ‘z’), because (A_cross_B)_x needs Ay, Az, By, Bz but not Ax, Bx.
cross_mapping_type

vector to take curl of.
spatial derivatives will apply to dimensions (‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’) (if they exist, else give 0).

Note, for classes using maindims, maindims are not included in the number of dimpoints.
Equivalent to len(list(self.iter_dimpoints(dims=dims, current=True)))
current_n_existing_snaps()

returns number of existing snaps, out of all snaps at self.snap.

property current_n_jfluid

alias to self.jfluid_dim.current_n

property current_n_snap

alias to self.snap_dim.current_n

property deriv_before_slice

bool or ‘step’. Whether to apply derivatives before any maindims slicing.

see help(type(self).slices) for slicing details.
True –> get derivatives before applying slices.
E.g. if slices=dict(x=slice(10, 30, 4)), getting ddx_var,
would compute var across the entire domain, then ddx, then slice by x[10:30:4].
This mode is most computationally expensive, but derivatives are trustworthy everywhere.
‘step’ –> get derivatives before slicing step, but after slicing start & stop.
E.g. if slices=dict(x=slice(10, 30, 4)), getting ddx_var,
would compute var from x[10] to x[30], then ddx, then slice by x[::4].

Note: if slicing by non-slice (e.g. x=5, or y=[0, 7, 10]), apply slicing afterwards.

This mode balances computational cost and trustworthiness;
derivatives are trustworthy everywhere except near slices’ start & stop.
False –> get derivatives after applying slices.
E.g. if slices=dict(x=slice(10, 30, 4)), getting ddx_var,
would compute var from x[10:30:4], then ddx.
This mode is computationally cheapest, but derivatives are least trustworthy.

dims: None or iterable
if provided, only include these dimensions.
See also: dims_apply
property direct_overrides

For example, if user wants to set an override (or if setvars sets an override?), it will be here.
See also: self.direct_overrides_dynamic().
direct_overrides_dynamic()

returns dict of {var: override} for all overrides of self which depend on behavior_attrs of self.

return dot product of vectors A and B, assuming vector components along the dimension ‘component’.

property drop

value of ‘drop’ kwarg for any self(‘{var}_where_{condition}’) calls.

True –> drops points where condition is False. (See xarray.DataArray.where for details)
False –> use nan where condition is False.
default: UNSET –> True if self(‘condition’) has ndim==1, else False.
(easy when ndim==1 to drop nans, because condition is a 1D list of points.
hard when ndim>=2. E.g. if mask (x,y)=(0,0) but not (0,1) and (1,0), can’t drop x=0 nor y=0…)
property elements

ElementList of all elements in multifluid mixture assumed from single-fluid mhd.

Used to infer SINGLE_FLUID m.

property extra_coords

dict of {coord_name: coord_value} to attach to outputs of self(var).

Useful if planning to join the output of self(var) with output from a different QuantityLoader.
E.g. self.extra_coords={‘run’: ‘run 0’} and other.extra_coords={‘run’: ‘run 1’},
then xr.concat([self(‘n’), other(‘n’)], ‘run’) gives ‘n’ from self AND other.
(this is nice if self and other have same values for dims. Otherwise, might struggle.)
property fft

alias to fftN

fftN(array, dim=UNSET, ds=None, *, slices=UNSET, **kw_xarray_fftN)

xarray_fftN with defaults for dim & slices determined by self.fft_dims, self.fft_slices.

spacing between elements of array (pre-transform), along each dim.
if number, use the same value for all dims.

rad: None or bool
whether to convert frequencies to “radians” by multiplying them by 2 * pi.
E.g., for fft in space, rad=False gives 1/wavelength; rad=True gives wavenumber k.
if None, infer from dim if any post-fft names provided, else default to False.
abs: bool
if True, return np.abs(result), instead.
slices: dict or FFTSlices
instructions for slicing the final result.
Can provide {cname: indexer} instructing to slice post-fft dimension
associated with cname, via indexer. (cname can be pre-fft or post-fft name.)
These understand fractional indexing: can provide a fractional value
between -1 and 1, to use that fraction of the length along the relevant dimension.
Can also provide keep, half, step, and/or missing_slices, here (Or, as kwargs).
(raise InputConflictError if any provided in both places and have conflicting values.)
See those kwargs for more details.
keep: None, True, dict, or number in 0 < keep <= 1
implies the fraction of each dimension to keep.
(ignored for any dimensions which already have a slice specified.)
e.g. keep=0.4 with length=1000 would result in slice(300, 700),
since that keeps 400 out of 1000 points, and is centered at 1000/2.
None –> ignored.
True –> use keep = DEFAULTS.FFT_KEEP (default: 0.4).
dict –> different value in each dimension;
keys can be pre-fft OR post-fft dimension names.
UNSET –> use None.
half: None, str, or iterable of strs
dimensions along which to keep only the right half of the result.
(ignored for any dimensions which already have a slice specified.)
None –> ignored.
str or iterable of strs –>can be pre-fft OR post-fft dimension name(s).
Applied after keep, e.g. keep=0.4, length=1000, half=’x’ –> slice(500, 700) for x.
UNSET –> use None.
step: None, dict, int, or non-integer between -1 and 1
step to take along each dim.
(ignored for any dimensions which already have a slice specified.)
fractional value –> use fraction of length (e.g. 0.01 –> 1% of dim length), min |step|=1.
negative –> reverses direction (and swaps start & stop for the slice)
None –> equivalent to using step=1.
dict –> different value in each dimension;
keys can be pre-fft OR post-fft dimension names.
UNSET –> use None.
missing_slices: ‘ignore’, ‘warn’, or ‘raise’
tells how to handle keys not matching any fft-related coordinate.
‘ignore’ –> silently ignore these keys. This is the default.
‘warn’ –> issue a warning.
‘raise’ –> raise an error.
UNSET –> use ‘ignore’
additional kwargs passed to np.fft.fftn.
returns result of fftn(…), shifted such that the 0-frequency is in the center,
and with the relevant dimensions renamed as specified.
property fft_dims

the dims over which to possibly apply fft (FFTLoader methods).

will only apply fft along these dims for an array if they actually appear in the array.
None –> use self.maindims. (this is the default.)
See also: self.fft_dims_for(array).
fft_dims_for(array)

return the dims over which to apply fft for this array.

This is the intersection of self.fft_dims and array.dims.
property fft_half

alias to self.fft_slices.half

property fft_keep

alias to self.fft_slices.keep

property fft_slices

the dict of indexers to apply to all fft results from self, by default.

keys can be a pre-fft or post-fft dimension name,
e.g. ‘x’ or ‘freq_x’ both lead to slicing of the result’s ‘freq_x’ dimension.
(note if rad=True it would be ‘k_x’ in the result, and ‘x’ would apply but not ‘freq_x’.)
all other keys (not a pre-fft or post-fft dimension name) are ignored.
values can be slice, int, iterable, or non-integer value between -1 and 1.
fractional values are interpreted as a fraction of the length of the corresponding dimension,
as per interprets_fractional_indexing. Negative fractions refer to distance from the end.
e.g., dict(x=slice(-0.3, None, 0.01), y=0.8), where x and y correspond to length 1000,
would be equivalent to dict(x=slice(-300, None, 10), y=800).
Can also have special keys (which apply to all fft dims without a specifically-related key):
keep: fraction of each dimension to keep,
e.g. keep=0.4 with length=1000 would result in slice(300, 700),
since that keeps 400 out of 1000 points, and is centered at 1000/2.

half: dimension(s) along which to keep only the right half of the result. step: slice step. Can also be fractional to use fraction of dimension length.

get_E0S1_and_S2()

but more efficient (only computes skappa and n one time).

E0S1 = sum_s (qs ns skappa_s / (1 + skappa_s^2)),
E0S2 = sum_s (qs ns skappa_s^2/ (1 + skappa_s^2)),
This is the electric field in the un=0 frame of reference, assuming:
- zeroth order equilibrium velocities from multifluid equations,
- including only collisions with neutrals,
- considering only E (& J) perp to B; ignoring E0 (& J) parallel to B.
get_E0_un0_perpmodB()

E0_un0_perpmodB = |E0_un0_perpB|.

Should be equivalent to self(‘mod_E0_un0_perpB’), aside from rounding errors.
[EFF] the method here uses an algebraic simplification of the E0_un0_perpB formula:
E0_un0_perpB == (E0S1 |B| J_perp_B + E0S2 B cross J) / (E0S1^2 + E0S2^2)
–> (do some algebra, and utilizing J_perp_B dot B = 0) –>
E0_un0_perpmodB = (|B| |J_perp_B|) / sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2)
get_E0_un0_perpmodB_min()

E0_un0_perpmodB_min = minimum possible value of |E0_un0_perpB|, at each point.

E0_un0_perpmodB_min = (1/sqrt(2)) * |B| |J_perp_B| / (ne |qe|)
Regardless of kappa (& nusn) values for electrons and ions, will always have:
E0_un0_perpmodB >= E0_un0_perpmodB_min.
Logic which proves this fact (below, using “K” as shorthand for “skappa”):
E0_un0_perpmodB has sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2) in the denominator;
–> when sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2) is largest, E0_un0_perpmodB will be smallest.
sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2) is largest when |E0S1| and |E0S2| are both largest.
(1) |E0S1| <= sum_s (|qs| ns |Ks| / (1 + Ks^2))
(2) |E0S2| <= sum_s (qs ns Ks^2 / (1 + Ks^2))
For ANY real K, the relevant quantities are bounded by:
(i) 0 < |K| / (1 + K^2) <= 1/2
(ii) 0 < K^2 / (1 + K^2) < 1
which can be readily shown using introductory calculus:
|K|/(1+K^2) has local extrema (derivative=0) only at K=1, where |K|/(1+K^2)=1/2;
it tends to 0 when K->0; and it tends to 0 when K->inf.
K^2/(1+K^2) has local extrema (derivative=0) only at K=0, where it equals 0;
it tends to 0 when K->0; and it tends to 1 when K->inf.
Applying (i) to expression (1) above yields:
|E0S1| <= sum_s |qs| ns * 1/2
Utilizing quasineutrality (sum_s qs ns = 0) and qe < 0 and qi > 0, provides:
sum_s |qs| ns = ne |qe| + sum_i ni qi = 2 ne |qe|
–> |E0S1| <= ne |qe|
Meanwhile for expression (2), note that because qe < 0 and qi > 0,
ne qe (Ke^2 / (1 + Ke^2)) has opposite the sign as sum_i ni qi Ki^2 / (1 + Ki^2),
so the largest possible |E0S1| occurs when one of those two terms is as small as possible.
Applying (ii) to each term, and quasineutrality to the second term, yields:
|ne qe (Ke^2 / (1 + Ke^2))| < ne |qe|
|sum_i ni qi Ki^2 / (1 + Ki^2)| < sum_i ni qi = ne |qe|
–> |E0S2| < ne |qe|
Combining yields:
sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2) < sqrt(2) ne |qe|
Thus, we always have:
(|B| |J_perp_B|) / sqrt(E0S1^2 + E0S2^2) >= (|B| |J_perp_B|) / (sqrt(2) * ne |qe|)
i.e. E0_un0_perpmodB >= E0_un0_perpmodB_min.
get_E0_un0_perpmodB_simple()

E0_un0_perpmodB_simple = simple estimate of |E0_un0_perpB|, at each point.

E0_un0_perpmodB_simple = (|B| |J_perp_B|) / (ne |qe|)
This is a simple estimate of |E0_un0_perpB|, accurate when kappae>>1 and kappai<<1.
get_EBspeed()

speed determined from E_un0 and B: |E_un0 perp to B| / |B|.

get_E_un0()

E_un0 = electric field in the neutral frame, where u_n=0.

Result depends on self.E_un0_mode; see help(type(self).E_un0_mode) for details.
get_E_un0_perpmod_B(**kw_perpmod)

E_un0_perpmod_B == |E_un0 perp to B| == magnitude of E, perp to B, in u_neutral=0 frame.

This is usually equivalent to using self.magnitude(self.take_perp_to(B, E_un0)),
but if E_un0_mode = ‘E0_perpmodB’ will use more efficient method (self(‘E0_un0_perpmodB’)),
and if E_un0_mode = ‘E0_perpmodB_min’ will use different method (self(‘E0_un0_perpmodB_min’)).
kwargs are passed to self.get_perpmod, if applicable.

get_cached_var(var, *, _match=None)

get var from folder within self.cache_dirname.

e.g. will fail if trying to use caches_var syntax and masking at the same time.

Workaround: separately call xarray_save and xarray_load, for results you care about.

Other workaround: use )
if previously cached, check if applicable, i.e.
whether attrs agree with self.behavior.nondefault(), and dims agree with self.behavior.dims.
if applicable, then return cached result.
else, destroy cache and proceed as if not already cached (see below).
if not already cached, saves to {self.cache_dirname}/{var},

* (m_p/m_s) * (m_sj/m_p)^(1/2)
* (T_sj / Kelvin)^(-3/2)
* (q_s/q_e)^2 * (q_j/q_e)^2
* (n_j / (10^6 meters^-3)), where:

Computed as self(‘nusj’, jfluid=self.jfluids.get_neutral()).
get_nusn_from_drift(var, *, _match=None)

nusn, calculated by assuming u satisfies momentum equation to zeroth order.

There are various options for how to solve for nusn, as explained below (see {drift}).
All solutions use nusn = sgyrof / skappa, where skappa is determined via
skappa = self(‘skappa’+var[len(‘nusn’):]).
E.g. ‘nusn_from_means_momExB’ –> use skappa = self(‘skappa_from_means_momExB’).
The description below helps explain the various options.
‘nusn_from_{means_}{u_}{drift}’
E.g. ‘nusn_from_means_momExB’, ‘nusn_from_hall’, ‘nusn_from_means_moment1_momB’
{means_} = ‘means_’ or ‘’.
if ‘means_’, take means of vars: ‘sgyrof’, any vars relevant to the chosen {drift} option.
{u_} = ‘’ or any other var then ‘_’.
if provided, use this var instead of ‘u’ for velocity. (Doesn’t affect “u_neutral” though.)
{drift} = ‘momExB’, ‘momE’, ‘hall’, or ‘pederson’
indicates how to solve for nusn. Use the similarly-named var when getting skappa.
‘momExB’ –> get skappa from the momentum equation in the E x B direction.
‘momE’ –> get skappa from the momentum equation in the E direction.
‘hall’ –> get skappa from u_hall = u, in the E x B direction.
‘pederson’ –> get skappa from u_pederson = u, in the E direction.

Equivalent to self.take_parallel_to(B, A) == (A dot Bhat) Bhat.

[EFF] can provide known vals for A or B, to avoid recalculating them. (include leading underscores.)
e.g. self(‘E_par_B’, _E=E, _B=B) –> E par to B, using E and B which are already known.
can alternatively provide _val0 for A and/or _val1 for B.
get_parenthesis(var, *, _match=None, **kw)

parenthesis. ‘{prefix}({here}){suffix}’, with no parenthesis inside {here}.

Ensures that {here} is interpreted as a single expression. Useful when combining operations.
E.g. ‘sqrt_q/m’, with no parenthesis, has an ambiguous interpretation.
‘sqrt_(q/m)’ unambiguously refers to “sqrt(ratio between q and m)”.
‘(sqrt_q)/m’ unambiguously refers to “ratio between sqrt(q) and m”.
The no-parenthesis interpretation is subject to change without warning, in future code updates.
(You can always check the interpretation that is being used, via self.match_var_tree(var))
get_parmod(var, *, _match=None, _val0=None, _val1=None, **_known_vals)

Equivalent to mod(A_par_B). Also equivalent to abs(A_dot_hat_B)

can alternatively provide _val0 for A and/or _val1 for B.
get_perp(var, *, _match=None, _val0=None, _val1=None, **_known_vals)

A_perp_B –> A after removing the component of A parallel to B.

Equivalent to self.take_perp_to(B, A) == A - (A dot Bhat) Bhat.

e.g. self(‘E_perp_B’, _E=E, _B=B) –> E perp to B, using E and B which are already known.
can alternatively provide _val0 for A and/or _val1 for B.
get_perpmod(var, *, _match=None, _val0=None, _val1=None, **_known_vals)

magnitude of A after removing the component of A parallel to B.

Equivalent to mod(A_perp_B).
[EFF] can provide known vals for A or B, to avoid recalculating them. (include leading underscores.)

get_rosenberg_multi()

rosenberg criterion for multiple ions: rosenberg_multi = (nusn_multi / wplasma_multi)^2.

quasineutrality is “reasonable” (during farley-buneman analysis) iff rosenberg_multi << 1.
This criterion should be more accurate than using rosenberg_qn for each ion, separately.
(Below uses ‘…’ to denote “terms independent of wplasma_i and nu_in”.)
Rosenberg 1998 equation 17, derived from equation 14, assumed only 1 ion.
However, equation 14 comes from 13, where wplasma_i and nu_in only appear as (Ai/wplasma_i^2).
where Ai = omega * (omega + i nu_in) + … (see equation 15).
equation 13 looks like: … + (Ai/wplasma_i^2) = 0
From equation 4 I infer the dispersion relation with multiple ions will be like:
… + sum_i (Ai/wplasma_i^2) = 0.
Expanding this sum reveals that it can be expressed in the same algebraic form as with 1 ion:
… + Am/wplasma_m^2 = 0, when:
wplasma_m^2 = 1 / (1/wplasma_1^2 + 1/wplasma_2^2 + …),
Am = omega * (omega + i nu_mn) + …
nu_mn = nu1 * weight1 + nu2 * weight2 + … / (weight1 + weight2 + …),
where weightj = wplasma_1^2 * wplasma_2^2 * … / wplasma_j^2.
Thus, the remaining steps done by Rosenberg to derive the criterion should apply in the same way,
and for multiple ions we can conclude the criterion is (nu_mn / wplasma_m)^2 << 1.
Okay, actually, in practice, it’s probably not useful to use this…
it mostly just selects the least-dense ion, due to the 1/wplasma^2 scaling.
Also, the criterion means “instability gets dampened when collisions are faster than plasma oscillations”
But for multiple ions, it’s really more like, the instability for THAT ion gets dampened…
(Also, I think one of the assumptions in the paper probably fails when wplasma is small…)
get_rosenberg_multi_nusn()

collision frequency for rosenberg criterion with multiple ions.

nusn_multi = nu1 * weight1 + nu2 * weight2 + … / (weight1 + weight2 + …),

see rosenberg_multi for details.
get_rosenberg_multi_wplasma()

plasma frequency for rosenberg criterion with multiple ions.

wplasma_multi^2 = 1 / (1 / wplasma1^2 + 1 / wplasma2^2 + …),
with sum across all ions in self(‘wplasma’, fluids=None)
see rosenberg_multi for details.
get_rosenberg_n()

n such that rosenberg_qn == 1, for each fluid.

Equivalent: rosenberg_qn * n.
To satisfy Rosenberg criterion, need rosenberg_qn << 1.
rosenberg_qn = (nusn / wplasma)^2 = nusn^2 * m * eps0 / (n * q^2),
which is proportional to 1 / n
–> n is “good” if n >> rosenberg_n.
Note: this also happens to be the solution to lmfp == ldebye…
lmfp = (vtherm/nusn) = ((kB T / m)^0.5 / nusn) == (epsilon0 kB T / (n q^2))^0.5 = ldebye
–> (nusn^-2 m^-1) == (epsilon0 n^-1 q^-2)
–> n == epsilon0 nusn^2 m / q^2.
get_rosenberg_n_margin()

n / rosenberg_n. margin of safety for rosenberg criterion. “safe” if margin is large.

get_rosenberg_qn()

Rosenberg criterion for quasineutrality, for each fluid: rosenberg_qn = (nusn / wplasma)^2.

quasineutrality is “reasonable” (during farley-buneman analysis) iff rosenberg_qn << 1 for ions.
(Intuitively: quasineutrality reasonable iff ‘collisions much slower than plasma oscillations’)
If multiple ions, consider using self(‘rosenberg_multi’) instead of one criterion per ion.

[EFF] for efficiency, can provide (single fluid) T if already known.
get_saha_g1g0()

get_saha_n1n0()

(n1/n0) for an element, via saha equation:

‘(n1/n0) = (1/ne) * (2.0 / lde^3) * (g1 / g0) * exp(-xi / (kB * T))
where the terms are defined as follows:

T : temperature ne: electron number density n1: number density of element’s once-ionized ions. n0: number density of element’s neutrals. g1: “degeneracy of states” for element’s once-ionized ions. g0: “degeneracy of states” for element’s neutrals. xi: element’s first ionization energy. lde: electron thermal deBroglie wavelength:

lde^2 = hplanck^2 / (2 pi me kB T)
get_sci_number(var, *, _match=None)

any number in scientific notation, as an xarray.

get_set_or_cached(var)

returns var if found in self.setvars or self.cache, with compatible behavior_attrs.

otherwise, raise CacheNotApplicableError.
if var is found in self.setvars and has relevant, but not matching behavior_attrs,
self.load_across_dims will be used to load the value.
get_sgyrof()

signed gyrofrequency. sgyrof == q |B| / m == charge * |B| / mass. Negative when charge < 0.

get_single_fluid_var(var, *, _match=None, **kw)

SF_{var} (or SINGLE_FLUID_{var}) –> {var} using self.fluid=SINGLE_FLUID.

(any kwargs get passed to self(var, **kw))
get_skappa()

signed kappa (magnetization parameter). skappa = sgyrof / nusn. Negative when charge < 0.

skappa = gyrofrequency / collision frequency of self.fluid with neutrals.
gyrofrequency == q * |B| / (mass * nusn).
get_skappa_from_hall(var, *, _match=None)

signed kappa (magnetization parameter) that statisfies u_hall = u, in the E x B direction.

‘skappa_from_{means_}{u_}hall’
E.g. ‘skappa_from_means_hall’, ‘skappa_from_hall’, ‘skappa_from_means_moment1_hall’
{means_} = ‘means_’ or ‘’.
if ‘means_’, take means of vars: ‘u’, ‘u_neutral’, ‘mod_B’, ‘E_cross_B’
{u_} = ‘’ or any other var then ‘_’.
if provided, use this var instead of ‘u’ for velocity. (Doesn’t affect “u_neutral” though.)
E.g. eppic calculator might use ‘moment1’ here, as in ‘skappa_from_moment1_hall’.
Algebraic solution:
formula for u_hall (from solving momentum equation for u in the E x B direction):
u_hall = (kappa**2 / (1 + kappa**2)) * (E x B) / |B|**2
solving for kappa**2, assuming u instead of u_hall, yields:
(u dot (E x B)) == (kappa**2 / (1 + kappa**2)) * (|E x B|**2 / |B|**2)
A + A * kappa**2 - kappa**2 == 0, where A = (u dot (E x B)) / (|E x B|**2 / |B|**2)
kappa**2 = A / (1 - A)
–> skappa = +- sqrt(A / (1 - A)),
There are two solutions; return solution with the same sign as self(‘q’) (i.e. fluid’s charge)
get_skappa_from_momE(var, *, _match=None)

signed kappa (magnetization parameter) that statisfies momentum equation in the E direction.

‘skappa_from_{means_}{u_}momE’
E.g. ‘skappa_from_means_momE’, ‘skappa_from_momE’, ‘skappa_from_means_moment1_momE’
{means_} = ‘means_’ or ‘’.
if ‘means_’, take means of vars: ‘u’, ‘u_neutral’, ‘mod_E’, ‘mod_B’, ‘E’, ‘E_cross_B’
{u_} = ‘’ or any other var then ‘_’.
if provided, use this var instead of ‘u’ for velocity. (Doesn’t affect “u_neutral” though.)
E.g. eppic calculator might use ‘moment1’ here, as in ‘skappa_from_moment1_momE’.
Algebraic solution:
momentum equation, rearranged using skappa = q * |B| / (m * nusn):
0 = q (E + u x B) - m * nusn * (u - u_neutral)
0 = skappa (E + u x B) - |B| (u - u_neutral)
dotting with E:
0 = skappa (|E|^2 + (u x B) dot E) - |B| (u - u_neutral) dot E # note uxB.E == BxE.u == -ExB.u
–> skappa = |B| (u - u_neutral) dot E / (|E|^2 - u dot (E x B))

Note: results untrustworthy when kappa >> 1, since that involves dividing by a value close to 0.

get_skappa_from_momExB(var, *, _match=None)

signed kappa (magnetization parameter) that statisfies momentum equation in the E x B direction.

‘skappa_from_{means_}{u_}momExB’
E.g. ‘skappa_from_means_momExB’, ‘skappa_from_momExB’, ‘skappa_from_means_moment1_momExB’
{means_} = ‘means_’ or ‘’.
if ‘means_’, take means of vars: ‘u’, ‘u_neutral’, ‘mod_B’, ‘E_cross_B’, ‘u_cross_B’
{u_} = ‘’ or any other var then ‘_’.
if provided, use this var instead of ‘u’ for velocity. (Doesn’t affect “u_neutral” though.)
E.g. eppic calculator might use ‘moment1’ here, as in ‘skappa_from_moment1_momExB’.
Algebraic solution:
momentum equation, rearranged using skappa = q * |B| / (m * nusn):
0 = q (E + u x B) - m * nusn * (u - u_neutral)
0 = skappa (E + u x B) - |B| (u - u_neutral)
dotting with E x B:
0 = skappa [(u x B) dot (E x B)] - |B| [(u - u_neutral) dot (E x B)]
–> skappa = |B| [(u - u_neutral) dot (E x B)] / [(u x B) dot (E x B)]
get_skappa_from_pederson(var, *, _match=None)

signed kappa (magnetization parameter) that statisfies u_pederson = u, in the E direction.

‘skappa_from_{means_}{u_}pederson’
E.g. ‘skappa_from_means_pederson’, ‘skappa_from_pederson’, ‘skappa_from_means_moment1_pederson’
{means_} = ‘means_’ or ‘’.
if ‘means_’, take means of vars: ‘u’, ‘u_neutral’, ‘mod_B’, ‘E’, ‘mod_E’,
{u_} = ‘’ or any other var then ‘_’.
if provided, use this var instead of ‘u’ for velocity. (Doesn’t affect “u_neutral” though.)
E.g. eppic calculator might use ‘moment1’ here, as in ‘skappa_from_moment1_pederson’.
Algebraic solution:
formula for u_pederson (from solving momentum equation for u in the E direction):
u_pederson = (skappa / (1 + skappa**2)) * E / |B|
solving for skappa, assuming u instead of u_pederson, yields:
(u dot E) == (skappa / (1 + skappa**2)) * (|E|**2 / |B|)
A + A * skappa**2 - skappa == 0, where A = (u dot E) / (|E|**2 / |B|)
skappa = (1 +- sqrt((-1)^2 - 4 * A * A)) / (2 * A),
There are two solutions; the correct choice can be determined by using the momentum equation;
the correct choice for the +- sign turns out to be: -sign(q) where q = self(‘q’) == fluid’s charge.

Note: results untrustworthy when kappa >> 1, since that involves dividing by a value close to 0.

get_slopet(var, *, _match=None)

slope calculated from linear regression along ‘t’ coord.

self(‘slopet_var’) == self(‘linregt_var)[‘polyfit_coefficients’].sel(degree=1).drop_vars(‘degree’)

get_sparmod(var, *, _match=None, _val0=None, _val1=None, **_known_vals)

signed “magnitude” of the component of A parallel to B.

Equivalent to A_dot_hat_B. Also abs(A_sparmod_B) is equivalent to mod(A_par_B).
[EFF] can provide known vals for A or B, to avoid recalculating them. (include leading underscores.)
e.g. self(‘E_parmod_B’, _E=E, _B=B) –> |E par to B|, using E and B which are already known.
can alternatively provide _val0 for A and/or _val1 for B.
get_sqrt(var, *, _match=None)

get_stats(var, *, _match=None)

[TODO][EFF] wasted time computing values which will later be masked…
get_sureturb_var(var, *, _match=None)

get_t_turb_from_pwl2_var(var, *, _match=None)

get_tfbi_EBspeed_thresh()

threshold EBspeed for TFBI to grow. NaN if no growth predicted across the EBspeed grid considered.

Assumes user has already run self.solve_tfbi_vs_EBspeed().

If not, consider doing:
copied = self.copy()
copied.set_attrs(maindims_means=True, snap=0) # or some other way to downsample…
copied.solve_tfbi_vs_EBspeed()
equivalent to tfbi_vs_EBspeed.pc.min_coord_where(‘EBspeed’, tfbi_vs_EBspeed.it.growth_kmax()>0)
get_tfbi_E_thresh()

threshold E_un0_perpmag_B for TFBI to grow. NaN if no growth predicted across the EBspeed grid considered.

Equivalent: self(‘tfbi_EBspeed_thresh’) * self(‘mod_B’).

get_tfbi_all(**kw_get_vars)

returns xarray.Dataset of values relevant to TFBI theory.

This includes tfbi_inputs (required for theory) and tfbi_extras (optional)
Results depend on self.fluid. May want to call as self(‘tfbi_all’, fluid=CHARGED).
get_tfbi_extras(**kw_get_vars)

returns xarray.Dataset of values relevant to TFBI theory but not necessary for inputs.

Currently this just includes:
‘eqperp_lmfp’: each fluid’s collisional mean free path at its “equilibrium” temperature,
after considering zeroth order heating due to E_un0_perpmag_B.
‘SF_n’: sum of number densities of all species (including neutrals)
‘n’: number densities of each specie in self.fluid.
‘n_n’: number density of neutral fluid.
‘n*kappa’: number density times kappa.
TFBI dispersion relation terms scale with n*kappa for each fluid,
so this quantity roughly estimates the relative importance of each fluid.
Results depend on self.fluid. May want to call as self(‘tfbi_extras’, fluid=CHARGED).
get_tfbi_fscale()

tfbi_fscale = n * kappa

tfbi dispersion relation sums terms proportional to n * kappa, for each fluid.
get_tfbi_fscale_rel()

get_tfbi_inputs(**kw_get_vars)

returns xarray.Dataset of values to input to the tfbi theory.

“global” scalars (no dependence on component nor fluid)
‘mod_B’: |magnetic field|
‘E_un0_perpmag_B’: |E_un0 perp to B|. E_un0 = electric field in u_neutral=0 frame.
‘kB’: boltzmann constant. kB * T = temperature in energy units.
‘T_n’: temperature of neutrals.

‘eqperp_ldebye’: each fluid’s debye length at its “equilibrium” temperature,
after considering zeroth order heating due to E_un0_perpmag_B.

get_tfbi_omega(*, kw_tfbi_solve={}, **kw_tfbi_solver)

Thermal Farley Buneman Instability roots with largest imaginary part at each point in self.

Equivalent: self.tfbi_solver(**kw_tfbi_solver).solve(**kw_solve)[‘omega’].
Can provide kwargs, e.g. self(‘tfbi_omega’, ions=[‘H_II’, ‘C_II’], kw_tfbi_solve=dict(ncpu=1)).
For more control, use self.tfbi_solver() directly.
For even more control, use the pattern described in help(self.tfbi_solver_cls).
Recommended: consider using ‘tfbi_omega_ds’ instead of ‘tfbi_omega’.
‘tfbi_omega_ds’ gives the full Dataset of all values relevant to the solution.
‘tfbi_omega’ just gives the DataArray of omega, which is harder to inspect later.
get_tfbi_omega_ds(*, kw_tfbi_solve={}, **kw_tfbi_solver)

Thermal Farley Buneman Instability solution at each point in self.

Equivalent: self.tfbi_solver(**kw_tfbi_solver).solve(**kw_solve).
Can provide kwargs, e.g. self(‘tfbi_omega_ds’, ions=[‘H_II’, ‘C_II’], kw_tfbi_solve=dict(ncpu=1)).
For more control, use self.tfbi_solver() directly.
For even more control, use the pattern described in help(self.tfbi_solver_cls).
get_tfbi_vs_EBspeed()

return tfbi solution across EBspeed grid. Load saved result if it exists, else save result to file.

CAUTION: the implementation here might self.set(‘E_un0_perpmod_B’, self(‘mod_B’) * EBspeed)

[TODO] avoid changing self.setvars… (or, at least, restore previous self.setvars afterwards.)
CAUTION: the implementation here assumes self.tfbi_EBspeed_grid_size is enough to uniquely specify the result;
e.g. if there is a different result at each snapshot of self, that will not be understood here.
Equivalent: self.solve_tfbi_vs_EBspeed(cache=’caches’)
get_times(var, *, _match=None)

multiplication. var0 * var1.

get_timescale_EBdrift()

timescale from drift speed if possible, else from speed using E & B fields.

tries to return self(‘timescale_udrift’), but if that causes a QuantCalcError,
use self(‘timescale_EBspeed’) instead.
get_timescale_EBspeed()

timescale from speed using E & B fields. dsmin / (|E_un0 cross B| / |B|^2).

E_un0 (not E) because the derivation assumes neutral frame: u_neutral=0.

note: to be more precise, use timescale_udrift instead.

get_timescale_eqperp_vtherm()

timescale from thermal velocity, using T_from_Eheat_perp instead of T.

dsmin / eqperp_vtherm.

nusn = collision frequency of self.fluid with neutrals.
get_timescale_udrift()

timescale from drift speed. dsmin / mod_u_drift.

note: to be less precise (but computationally cheaper), use timescale_EBspeed instead.

For electrons when kappae >> 1, timescale_EBspeed ~= timescale_udrift.
When accounting for directionality, or kappae <~= 1, or non-electrons,
timescale_EBspeed is always more conservative (i.e. smaller) than timescale_udrift.
get_timescale_vtherm()

timescale from thermal velocity. dsmin / vthermal.

vthermal = sqrt(kB T / m).
get_timescale_wplasma()

timescale from plasma oscillations. 2 * pi / wplasma. (Hz, not rad/s)

get_timescales()

Consider also: self(‘timescales_abbrv’)
Useful patterns you might want to consider:
self(‘timescales’, maindims_means=True) # timescales based on mean values only
self(‘timescales’).min(‘fluid’) # minimum timescales across all fluids
self(‘timescales’).pc.minimum() # minimum timescale across all timescales
equivalent: self(‘min_timescale’)
self(‘timescales’).min(‘fluid’).pc.minimum() # minimum timescale at each point.
self(‘timescales’).pc.varmin() # name of timescale with minimum value at each point.
# timescale variable names, sorted from min to max values.
self(‘timescales’).to_dataarray().pc.sort_along(‘variable’)[‘variable’]

abbreviates ‘timescale_var’ –> ‘var’.
get_tturb_var(var, *, _match=None)

with fluid=electron, snap=None, blur_sigma=10.
get_turblindiff_var(var, *, _match=None)

see also: werrturblindiff_var
get_turblindiffwerr_var(var, *, _match=None)

werrmeant_sureturb_var - werrmeant_surelin_var.

i.e., (time-averaged value in turbulent regime) minus (time-averaged value in linear regime),
but result is a Dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’ data_vars,
with ‘std’ coming from “standard” error propagation formula assuming independent errors:
std(A - B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2).
see also: turblindiff_var
get_turblindivwerr_var(var, *, _match=None)

werrmeant_sureturb_var / werrmeant_surelin_var.

i.e., (time-averaged value in turbulent regime) divided by (time-averaged value in linear regime),
but result is a Dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’ data_vars,

get_u()

[Not implemented for this class]
get_u_EdotB(*, _E=None, _B=None)

EdotB drift velocity. u_EdotB = (skappa**3 / (1 + skappa**2)) * (E_un0 dot B) B / |B|^3

(Commonly neglected, but comes from the same physical equation as hall & pederson drifts;
from solving equilibrium momentum equation for u, when neglecting all derivatives.)
[EFF] for efficiency, can provide E and/or B, if already known.
get_u_drift()

equilibrium velocity; solution to the momentum equation with collisions,

assuming zero acceleration and zero spatial gradients.
u_drift = u_hall + u_pederson + u_EdotB.
get_u_hall(*, _E=None, _B=None)

get_u_neutral()

velocity of neutral fluid. Depends on self.assume_un:

None –> cannot get value; raise FormulaMissingError.
‘u’ –> assume u_n == self(‘SINGLE_FLUID_u’)
else –> return self.assume_un
get_u_pederson(*, _E=None, _B=None)

Pederson drift velocity. u_pederson = (skappa / (1 + skappa**2)) * E_un0 / |B|,

where skappa is the (signed) magnetization parameter, skappa = q * |B| / (m * nusn).
[EFF] for efficiency, can provide E and/or B, if already known.
get_unwrapt_2pi_var(var, *, _match=None)

unwrapt_{A} –> unwrapped self(A) along ‘t’, via np.unwrap with period=2*pi.

CAUTION: result at a given snapshot can vary depending on self.snap,
(though, (result % 2*pi) will always be the same.)
E.g. self(‘unwrapt_angle_xy_E’) –> angle between +xhat and E, but unwrapped,
so e.g. if results change from just above -pi to just below -pi,
the values below -pi will actually be below -pi,
instead of being reported as 2*pi + (value just below -pi).
get_upar()

velocity vector, parallel to B. This is a full 3-vector.

Equivalent: self(‘u_par_B’) == (u dot Bhat) Bhat
get_uperp()

for ‘drop’ kwarg, in where(…, drop=…), use drop=self.drop.
get_vars(vars, *args, return_type='dataset', missing_vars=UNSET, **kw)

returns values of vars from self.

result is probably an xarray.Dataset, but not guaranteed; also depends on return_type.
Equivalent to self(vars, *args, return_type=’dataset’, **kw).
(Actually, self(vars, …) will call self.get_vars(vars, …).)
vars: iterable of strs
Names of the vars to load. [‘n’, ‘u’] for number density & velocity.
if any of these vars returns a return_type object, expand its keys,
e.g. if ‘myDSvar’ returns dataset with ‘myvar1’, ‘myvar2’,
then [‘n’, ‘myDSvar’] gives dataset with ‘n’, ‘myvar1’, ‘myvar2’.
return_type: ‘dataset’ or ‘dict’
if ‘dataset’, return result as xarray.Dataset.
the data_var names will be the same as the var names.
if ‘dict’, return result as dict of {var: value}.
missing_vars: UNSET, ‘ignore’, ‘warn’, or ‘raise’
what to do if any vars cause FormulaMissingError.
UNSET –> use self.missing_vars if it exists, else ‘raise’.
‘ignore’ –> ignore missing vars, and don’t include them in the result.
‘warn’ –> ignore missing vars, but print a warning.
‘raise’ –> raise FormulaMissingError if any vars are missing.
additional args & kwargs are passed to self(…).
get_vector_N(var, *, _match=None)

get_weighted_mean(weights_var, *, _match=None)

mean, weighted by weights. mean(weights*var)/mean(weights).

E.g. ‘weighted_n_mean_T’ –> mean(n * T) / mean(n).

Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

std, weighted by weights. std(weights*var)/mean(weights).

E.g. ‘weighted_n_std_mod_u’ –> std(n * mod_u) / mean(n).

Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.
Currently, equivalent to self(‘(std_({weights}*{var}))/mean(weights)’)
[TODO][EFF] internally, don’t compute weights twice…
get_werr2pmstd(var, *, _match=None)

convert dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’ into dataset with ‘mean+std’, ‘mean’, ‘mean-std’.

werr2pmstd_var will crash if self(var) doesn’t have ‘mean’ and ‘std’ data vars.
get_werradd(var, *, _match=None)

A_werradd_B = A + B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,
assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:
mean(A + B) = mean(A) + mean(B)
std(A + B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2)
(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)
get_werrdiv(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrdiv_B = A / B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,
assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:
z = A / B
mean(z) = mean(A) / mean(B)
std(z) = abs(mean(z)) * sqrt((std(A)/mean(A))**2 + (std(B)/mean(B))**2)
(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)
get_werrmean(var, *, _match=None)

dataset of ‘mean’ and ‘std’ of var. Computed along self.stat_dims in array.

get_werrmeant(var, *, _match=None)

dataset of ‘mean’ and ‘std’ of var, taking stats across time dimension.

self(werrmeant_var) –> self(var).werrmean(tdim), where tdim is the dim associated with time,
(tdim default ‘snap’, but if ‘t’ coord associated with a dim, use that dim.)
get_werrmul(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrmul_B = A * B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,
assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:
z = A * B
mean(z) = mean(A) * mean(B)
std(z) = abs(mean(z)) * sqrt((std(A)/mean(A))**2 + (std(B)/mean(B))**2)
(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)
get_werrsub(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrsub_B = A - B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,
assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:
mean(A - B) = mean(A) - mean(B)
std(A - B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2)
(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)
get_where_condition_var(var, *, _match=None)

where_condition_var –> self(var).where(self(condition)).

Note: if var contains any underscores, must use parenthesis (like ‘where_condition_(var)’).
The alias, self(‘var_where_condition’), does not have such a restriction.
for ‘drop’ kwarg, in where(…, drop=…), use drop=self.drop_in_where.
get_wplasma()

“plasma frequency”. wplasma = sqrt(n q^2 / (m epsilon0))

This is analogous to the “true” plasma frequency of Langmuir oscillations,
which is calculated using the same formula but applied to electrons.
wplasma is equivalent to wplasmae if self.fluid is electrons.
get_wplasmae()

electron plasma frequency; Langmuir oscillations. wpe = sqrt(ne qe^2 / (me epsilon0))

get_yhat()

unit vector in the y direction.

result components determined by self.component, e.g. yhat_x == 0; yhat_y == 1.
get_zhat()

unit vector in the z direction.

result components determined by self.component, e.g. zhat_x == 0; zhat_z == 1.
getj(var, *args__get, jfluid=UNSET, **kw__get)

returns self(var), but for jfluid instead of fluid.

jfluid: UNSET, None, or any jfluid specifier.
if provided, use this instead of self.jfluid.
Example:
m_s = self(‘m’)
with self.using(fluids=self.jfluids, fluid=self.jfluid):
m_j_0 = self(‘m’)
m_j_1 = self.getj(‘m’)
here, the values stored in the variables will be:
m_s = mass of self.fluid
m_j_0 = mass of self.jfluid. But, fluid dimension will be labeled ‘fluid’
m_j_1 = mass of self.jfluid. fluid dimension will be labeled ‘jfluid’.
additional args and kwargs are passed to self(var)
has_var(var)

return whether self can load var. True if self.match_var(var) is found, else False.

Subclasses might override, to include checks for whether var can be loaded from data.
[TODO] also check if var in self.cache or self.setvars.

i.e. patterns & vars in tree but ignore any nodes with LoadableVar ancestors.
e.g. qstr=’mean_mod_beta’ –> help with ‘mean_(.+)’, ‘mod_(.+)’, and ‘beta’,
but no help with dependencies of ‘beta’ (‘q’, ‘mod_B’, ‘m’).
modules: bool
Whether to include modules in result.
If True, result will be grouped into sections with modules written at top.

classmethod help_str(qstr=None, only=None, **kw)

returns cls.help_quants_str(qstr=qstr, only=only, **kw).

cls.help() calls help_str.
subclasses might overwrite help_str, but probably won’t touch help_quants_str.
property ifft

alias to ifftN

ifftN(array, dim=UNSET, df=None, *, x0=0, ds=None, **kw_xarray_ifftN)

xarray_ifftN with defaults for dim determined by self.fft_dims.

kwargs are passed to xarray_ifftN. For convenience, docs for xarray_ifftN are copied below.
xarray_ifftN docs
—————–
calculates ifft(array) along N dimensions.
shifts positions such that the 0-position is in the center.
replaces result dimensions & coordinates appropriately, to indicate which dims were ifft’d.
For convenience, all coordinate names can be pre-fft OR post-fft names,
e.g. ‘x’, ‘freq_x’, ‘freqrad_x’, or ‘k_x’.
“post-fft” names look like ‘freq_dim’, ‘freqrad_dim’,
or any value in DEFAULTS.FFT_FREQ_RAD_DIMNAMES.values(), e.g. ‘k_x’.
Caution: ifft(fft(arr)) == arr only approximately, due to floating point rounding errors.
Can at least ensure coordinate alignment by providing ds during ifft(fft(arr), ds=…)
dim: None, str, or iterable of strs
coordinates(s) of array to take ifft over.
promote_dim(array, coord) for any non-dimension coordinates, as needed.
None –> equivalent to array.dims
df: None, number, or dict of {dim: d}
spacing between elements of array (in frequency-space).
None –> infer from ds if provided, else infer from array.
number –> use this as df for all dims.
rad: None or bool
if True, interpret frequency-spacing (df) like it is “in radians”,
dividing it by 2 * pi before converting to position-space.
None –> infer rad from names of the dims being ifft’d.
ds: None, number, or dict of {dim: d}
spacing between elements of result (in position-space), along dims from result.
number –> use this as ds for all dims.
None –> infer from df if provided, else infer from array.
Note: provide ds to guarantee ifft(fft(arr)) == arr, exactly;
otherwise position coords might include small rounding errors.
x0: None, number, or dict of {dim: value}
if provided, alter position-space coordinates by adding a constant offset,
such that the 0’th position for each dim equals x0[dim].
number –> apply the same number to all dims.
iterable –> use these numbers; kwarg dim must also be provided as an iterable of strs.
dict –> dict of {dim: x0} specifying the value associated with each dim
ifft_dims_for(array)

return dims over which to apply ifft for this array.

This is the self.fft_dims which correspond to dims in array.dims,
though not via exact match.
E.g. ‘freq_x’ or ‘k_x’ in array.dims, if ‘x’ in fft_dims.
property in_single_fluid_mode

whether self is in “single fluid mode”.

MhdCalculator is always in single-fluid mode… but subclass might not be.
Some vars (bases especially) assume single-fluid mode, so it is good to check.
E.g. this ensures multifluid subclasses don’t do weird things by accident.
init_fluids()

initialize self.fluid, fluids, jfluid, and jfluids

[Not implemented by MhdMultifluidCalculator; subclass should implement].
property ionfrac_mode

mode for calculating self(‘ionfrac’).

ignored when self.fluid is SINGLE_FLUID. See self.IONFRAC_MODE_OPTIONS for options.
property iter_component

alias to self.component_dim.iter

property iter_components

alias to self.component_dim.iter_values

property iter_components_partition

alias to self.component_dim.iter_partition

iter_dimpoints(dims=None, *, all=False, restore=True, enumerate=False)

iterate through values of dims, returning DimPoints and setting dim values during iteration.

DimPoints are dicts of {dim: value} for dim in dims, where not is_iterable_dim(value).
Also, during iteration, set self.{dim} = value, as with self.iter_dim.
dims: None or iterable of strs appearing in self.dimensions.keys()
dimensions to consider. None –> use all dimensions.
all: bool
whether to iterate through all possible values, or only the current values.
False –> iterate through current values (e.g., self.snap, self.fluid, …).
similar to itertools.product(self.iter_snap(), self.iter_fluid(), …)
True –> iterate through all possible values (e.g., self.snaps, self.fluid, …)
similar to itertools.product(self.iter_snaps(), self.iter_fluids(), …)
Equivalent to all=False if all dims are set to None, e.g. self.snap=None, …
restore: bool
whether to restore original dim values after iteration.
enumerate: bool, default False
whether to yield indices too, i.e. (idx, DimPoint) instead of just DimPoint.
idx would be a dict of {dim: i} such that DimPoint values are {dim: dims[i] for dim,i in idx.items()}.

kw_call_options(*, sorted=True)

returns list of kwarg names which can be used to set attrs self during self.__call__.

(see self.__call__ for more details).
Here, returns list(self.behavior_attrs) + list(self._extra_kw_for_quantity_loader_call)
load_across_dims(loader, *args_loader, dims=[], assign_coords=None, loader0=None, _shift_special={}, **kw_loader)

return loader(…), iterating & joining across each dimension.

loader: callable of (*args_loader, **kw_loader) -> xarray.DataArray.
will call loader to get result values at each combination of dims values in self.
(loader will probably depend on dims values from self.)
dims: iterable of strs or Dimension objects
load across these Dimensions.
loads across the current values (when this method was called) of each dimension,
not necessarily “all” values. (e.g., self.snap, not self.snaps)
str values –> use self.dimensions[d] (where d is a str in dims).
len(dims)==0 –> just return loader(var, *args_loader, **kw_loader).
While loading, set dim.loading=True for each dim.
assign_coords: None or bool, default None
whether to dim.assign_coord for each result of loader, for each dimension.
None –> assign coord only if dim.name not already in array.coords.
loader0: None or callable
if provided, use loader0 to get the first array, then use loader for the rest.
Internally the first array’s .coords and .attrs are used to label the result;
however all other arrays do not need to be converted to xarray.
_shift_special: UNSET or dict of (dimstr: list of special values)
workaround to encourage loader0 to be called on a “usual” case, not a special case.
if provided, and dimstr in dims, and d=self.dimensions[dimstr] has multiple values,
with special_value first, and at least one non-special value later, then
internally rearrange dim values order before loading,
then rearrange result back to original order (via indexing).
E.g. _shift_special=dict(snap=[INPUT_SNAP]) –> apply loader0 to the first non-INPUT_SNAP,
if there are any non-INPUT_SNAP snap values in snap, and ‘snap’ in dims.
— MULTIPROCESSING STRATEGY OPTIONS (from self) —
timeout: None or int
max duration, in seconds. Must be None or integer (due to limitations of signal.alarm method)
None –> no time limit.
Note: if time_limit is reached, will raise a TimeoutError and save the result so far.
(in this case, any not-yet-calculated values will each be RESULT_MISSING.)
# [TODO] make this happen, without making self un-picklable:
in case of crash, results so far can be found in self._latest_load_tasks.
Then possibly continued via:
results = self._latest_load_tasks(…, reset=False, skip_done=True)
result = self._load_across_dims_postprocess(results, dims, …)
# [TODO] if crashing and resuming is common, make that easier to do^
elf.timeout has not been set, use DEFAULTS.LOADING_TIMEOUT (default: None).
ncpu: None or int
max number of cpus to use for multiprocessing.
None –> use multiprocessing.cpu_count()
int –> use this value. if 0 or 1, do not use multiprocessing here.
Note: will actually use min(ncpu, number of calls to be made);
e.g. if ncpu=4 but len(arg_kw_tuples)=2, will only use 2 cpus.
elf.ncpu has not been set, use DEFAULTS.LOADING_NCPU (default: 1).
ncoarse: int
if >1, group tasks into groups of size ncoarse before performing them.
elf.ncoarse has not been set, use DEFAULTS.LOADING_NCOARSE (default: 1).
print_freq: None, or number (possibly negative or 0)
>0 –> Minimum number of seconds between progress updates.
=0 –> print every progress update.
<0 –> never print progress updates.
None –> use DEFAULTS.PROGRESS_UPDATES_PRINT_FREQ
elf.print_freq has not been set, infer from self.verbose if it exists,
use DEFAULTS.PROGRESS_UPDATES_PRINT_FREQ (default: 2).
additional args & kwargs are passed as loader(*args_loader, **kw_loader).
load_across_dims_implied_by(var, loader, *args_loader, assign_coords=None, _min_split=1, **kw_loader)

return loader(…), iterating & joining across each dimension implied by var.

Equivalent to self.load_across_dims(loader, …, dims=self.match_var_loading_dims(var)).
var: str
variable which implies dims to load across, via self.match_var_loading_dims(var).
loader: callable of (*args_loader, **kw_loader) -> xarray.DataArray.
will call loader to get result values at each combination of dims values in self.
(loader will probably depend on dims values from self.)
assign_coords: None or bool, default None
whether to dim.assign_coord for each result of loader, for each dimension.
None –> assign coord only if dim.name not already in array.coords.
_min_split: int, default 1
if an implied dim has current_n() < min_split, don’t load across it.
1 –> no minimum.
additional args & kwargs are passed as loader(*args_loader, **kw_loader).
load_direct(var, *args, **kw)

load var “directly”, from some source which is not known by the main part of PlasmaCalcs.

Attempt the following, returning the first successful attempt:
- return self.direct_overrides[var](self, *args, **kw).
- return self.direct_overrides_dynamic()[var](self, *args, **kw).
- use self.load_fromfile.
return the result (probably a numpy array, but not guaranteed).
Examples:
load Bx directly from a file
load n for H+, using a different module which somehow gives nH+
(PlasmaCalcs doesn’t need to know where the value came from.)
if used an override, instead of loading from file,
set self._load_direct_used_override = var.
Otherwise, set it to None.
This might be used, e.g., to determine if the output came directly from a file or not.
load_fromfile(var, *args, **kw)

load var directly from a file. Other methods should usually use load_direct, instead.

the implementation here just raises LoadingNotImplementedError;
subclasses should implement this method in order to load any values from files.
load_maindims_var(var, *args, u=None, assign_labels=True, **kw)

return var, formatted as an xarray with proper details for PlasmaCalcs.

loading var should give an array with self.maindims as dimensions.
Also does these steps:
1) assign maindims coords via self.assign_maindims_coords().
2) slice array via self.slices.
3) convert units, if u is not None
4) set result.attrs[‘units’] = self.units
5) if self.maindims_means: take mean of result, across all maindims.
6) use result = self._maindims_postprocess_callback(result), if possible.
u: None, value, or str
units factor for the result.
None –> don’t do any units conversions.
str –> multiply result by self.u(u)
value –> multiply result by u
assign_labels: bool
whether to assign_maindims_coords and self.record_units.
Recommend to always use True, unless using this function internally.
(e.g. for load_maindims_var_across_dims, only use the first time, for efficiency.)
IGNORED if self.maindims_means.
Note:
If load_direct(var) uses an override or gets from cache or self.setvars,
skip steps 1,2,3,4
([TODO] Might need to reconsider this behavior?)
Note:
If self.multi_slices are provided, load_maindims_var for each slice,
then combine results into an xarray.Dataset.
if assign_labels=False, combine results into a dict instead.
load_maindims_var_across_dims(var, dims=None, *, skip=[], u=None, **kw)

load maindims var across these dims. Use all dims from self.dimensions if dims is None.

Only loads across the current value of these dims (e.g., self.fluid, not self.fluids).
(Can set current value to multiple values e.g. self.component = (‘x’, ‘y’).)
u: None, value, or str
units factor for the result.
None –> don’t do any units conversions.
str –> multiply result by self.u(u)
value –> multiply result by u
lowpass(array, dim=UNSET, keep=UNSET, *, keep_r=UNSET, **kw_xarray_lowpass)

xarray_lowpass with defaults for dim & keep determined by self.fft_dims, self.lowpass_keep.

kwargs are passed to xarray_lowpass. For convenience, docs for xarray_lowpass are copied below.
xarray_lowpass docs
——————-
return array after putting it through a lowpass filter using fft & ifft.
This is equivalent to ifft(fft(array) * filter), where filter is 0 at all “large” frequency values.
“large” is determined by keep & r; see below.
dim: None or iterable or strs
coordinates to apply lowpass filter over. If None, use all array.dims.
promote_dim(array, coord) for any non-dimension coordinates, as needed.
keep: UNSET, True, dict, or number between 0 < keep <= 1
fraction of frequencies to keep, along each dim.
(Must provide this or keep_r but not both.)
True –> use DEFAULTS.FFT_LOWPASS_KEEP.
number –> use this value for all dims.
keep_r: UNSET, True, or number between 0 < keep <= 1
radius of N-sphere to keep in normalized frequency-space,
normalized such that max(frequencies)==1 along each dim.
All values outside of this N-sphere will be set to 0.
Similar to keep, but here use an N-sphere instead of an N-cube.
(Must provide this or keep but not both.)
True –> use DEFAULTS.FFT_LOWPASS_KEEP.
[TODO] more options than just spherical? (e.g. ellipsoid)
ds: None, number, or dict of {dim: d}
spacing between elements of array along each dim.
number –> use the same value for all dims.
None –> infer via array.coords[dim].diff(dim) for each dim
(requires evenly-spaced coordinates in dim; spacing checked with np.allclose)
real: None or bool
whether to return np.real(ifft) instead of just ifft (which might have imaginary part)
None –> infer from array. Use True if np.all(np.isreal(array)), else False.
return_fft: bool
whether to return (result, masked fft) instead of just result.
mainly intended for debugging purposes.
property lowpass_keep

the default value for “keep” in self.lowpass. 0 < lowpass_keep <= 1.

Or, can be a dict of {dim: keep} pairs, to use different keep for different dims.
To use keep_r instead of keep, call lowpass directly and enter keep_r there.
static magnitude(A, *, squared=False)

return vector magnitude of A, assuming vector components along the dimension ‘component’.

squared: bool, default False
if True, return |A|**2 instead of |A|.
[EFF] to get |A|**2, when |A| is not needed,
magnitude(A, squared=True) is more efficient than magnitude(A)**2
property maindims_full_shape

self.maindims_shape when self.slices=None

property maindims_full_size

self.maindims_size when self.slices=None

property maindims_full_sizes

self.maindims_sizes when self.slices=None

property maindims_means

whether to immediately take means across maindims when loading arrays. (default False.)

True –> treat data across maindims as if it were the mean values, only.

Caution: this is different from taking means after doing calculations;

e.g., with maindims_means = True, ‘n*T’ –> mean(n)*mean(T), not mean(n*T).
property maindims_shape

tuple of (len(self.get_maindims_coords()[dim]) for dim in self.maindims).

Note, this should be sensitive to changes in self.slices. See also: self.maindims_full_shape.
property maindims_size

product of terms in self.maindims_shape.

Note, this should be sensitive to changes in self.slices. See also: self.maindims_full_size.
property maindims_sizes

dict of {dim: size of dim} for dim in self.maindims.

Note, this should be sensitive to changes in self.slices. See also: self.maindims_full_sizes.
property maintaining

alias to maintaining_attrs

maintaining_attrs(*attrs, **attrs_as_flags)

returns context manager which restores attrs of self to their original values, upon exit.

E.g. maintaining_attrs(obj, ‘attr1’, ‘attr2’, attr3=True, attr4=False)
–> will restore upon exit, original values of obj.attr1, attr2, and attr3, but not attr4.
property mask

None or xarray.DataArray of bools,

if self.masking, apply mask to results (with mask dims) at top-level (call_depth=1)
(internal calls still do full calculations, so derivatives will still work.)
applying mask means calling self.apply_mask(result);
masking = True or ‘stacked’ –> xarray_mask(result, stack=True); i.e., drops all masked points.
(and, result will have ‘_mask_stack’ dimension instead of mask.dims dimensions)
masking = ‘simple’ –> xarray_mask(result, stack=False); i.e., masked points just replaced by nan.
never applies mask if self.mask = None.
setting self.mask = value is equivalent to calling self.set_mask(value).
property masking

how to apply self.mask to results at top level, if mask exists.

True –> alias for ‘stacked’. This is the default.
‘stacked’ –> apply stacked mask to self.stack(result), dropping masked points.
‘simple’ –> apply mask to result, filling masked regions with np.nan.
False –> do not apply mask, even if self.mask exists.
classmethod match_var(var, *, check=['KNOWN_VARS', 'KNOWN_PATTERNS'])

match var from cls.KNOWN_VARS or cls.KNOWN_PATTERNS, or raise FormulaMissingError.

returns result=MatchedQuantity(var, loadable, _match=_match) where:

loadable is the LoadableQuantity associated with this var,
_match is:
None, if var in cls.KNOWN_VARS;
re.fullmatch(pattern, var), if var matches any pattern in cls.KNOWN_PATTERNS.
if var matches multiple patterns, only the first matching pattern is used.
Uses MatchedVar if match from KNOWN_VARS, MatchedPattern if from KNOWN_PATTERNS.
(note that both MatchedVar and MatchedPattern subclass MatchedQuantity.)
check: str or list of str from [‘KNOWN_VARS’, ‘KNOWN_PATTERNS’]
where to check for matches. Default is to check KNOWN_VARS and KNOWN_PATTERNS.
E.g. to only check KNOWN_PATTERNS, use check=[‘KNOWN_PATTERNS’].
loadable and _match can be retrieved via result.loadable and result._match.
match_var_loading_dims(var, **kw_loading_dims)

return dims for loading var across.

Result will probably vary across these dims (but not guaranteed, if any dependency uses reduces_dims.)
These are all Dimension dims, not maindims. (E.g. ‘fluid’ and ‘snap’, but not ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’).
Equivalent: self.match_var_tree(var).loading_dims(**kw_loading_dims)
match_var_result_dims(var, **kw_result_dims)

return dims which result of cls(var) will vary across.

These are all Dimension dims, not maindims. (E.g. ‘fluid’ and ‘snap’, but not ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’).
Equivalent: cls.match_var_tree(var).result_dims(**kw_result_dims)
match_var_result_size(var, *, maindims=True, **kw_result_dims)

return size (number of elements) which self(var) will have.

(Efficient; doesn’t actually get self(var).)
Depends on current values of relevant dims. (E.g., self.fluid, not self.fluids)
maindims: bool
if True, include maindims_shape when calculating size.
match_var_tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.
var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).
See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.
Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,
but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.
additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),
which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.
matched_pattern_cls

alias of MatchedPattern

matched_var_cls

alias of MatchedVar

property multi_slices

dict of {key: slices dict}.

When getting any vars across maindims, make a Dataset by applying each of these, separately.
If len(multi_slices)>0 then ignore self.slices.
Can also provide special keys ‘ndim’ and/or ‘ikeep’ to create special slices:
Example: if self.maindims=[‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’], then self.multi_slices = dict(ndim=2, ikeep=0)
is equivalent to: self.multi_slices = dict(x_y=dict(z=0), x_z=dict(y=0), y_z=dict(x=0))
Details:

ndim: None or int

None –> ignore, and do not create special slices.
int –> create special slices to keep this many dims after applying each slice.
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=2) is shorthand for
“MultiSlices with one slices for every possible combination of keeping 2 dims”.
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=2, dims=[‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’], ikeep=0) is equivalent to:
MultiSlices(keep_x_y=dict(z=0), keep_y_z=dict(x=0), keep_x_z=dict(y=0))
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=1, dims=[‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’], ikeep=0) is equivalent to:
MultiSlices(keep_x=dict(y=0, z=0), keep_y=dict(x=0, z=0), keep_z=dict(x=0, y=0))

ikeep: int or number between -1 < ikeep < 1

index to take when picking a single value for sliced dimensions for special slices.
Default is 0, e.g. when slicing x, keep x[0].
int –> when slicing dim, keep dim[ikeep]. E.g. 10 –> keep x[10]
non-int between -1 and 1 –> multiply by length of dim to get index.
see interprets_fractional_indexing for more details.
Can also set these as attributes of self.multi_slices to achieve the same effect.
E.g. self.multi_slices.ndim = 2
property multi_slices_ikeep

int or number between -1 < ikeep < 1

index to take when picking a single value for sliced dimensions for special slices.
Default is 0, e.g. when slicing x, keep x[0].
int –> when slicing dim, keep dim[ikeep]. E.g. 10 –> keep x[10]
non-int between -1 and 1 –> multiply by length of dim to get index.
see interprets_fractional_indexing for more details.
property multi_slices_ndim

None or int

None –> ignore, and do not create special slices.
int –> create special slices to keep this many dims after applying each slice.
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=2) is shorthand for
“MultiSlices with one slices for every possible combination of keeping 2 dims”.
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=2, dims=[‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’], ikeep=0) is equivalent to:
MultiSlices(keep_x_y=dict(z=0), keep_y_z=dict(x=0), keep_x_z=dict(y=0))
Example: MultiSlices(ndim=1, dims=[‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’], ikeep=0) is equivalent to:
MultiSlices(keep_x=dict(y=0, z=0), keep_y=dict(x=0, z=0), keep_z=dict(x=0, y=0))
n_existing_snaps()

returns number of existing snaps. Equivalent to self.snap_dim.n_existing_for(self).

property n_mode

str. mode for getting Specie densities. (ignored if fluid is SINGLE_FLUID or an Element)

see N_MODE_OPTIONS for details about available options.
Note that you can always calculate n using a specific formula with the appropriate var,
regardless of n_mode. E.g. n_saha will always load value from saha.

Note: if ne_mode is not None, override n_mode with ne_mode when getting n for electrons.

property ncoarse

int

if >1, group tasks into groups of size ncoarse before performing them.
property ncpu

None or int

max number of cpus to use for multiprocessing.
None –> use multiprocessing.cpu_count()
int –> use this value. if 0 or 1, do not use multiprocessing here.
Note: will actually use min(ncpu, number of calls to be made);
e.g. if ncpu=4 but len(arg_kw_tuples)=2, will only use 2 cpus.
see also: self.get_ncpu() to read actual number of cpus when self.ncpu is None.
property ne_mode

None or str. mode for getting electron number density. See NE_MODE_OPTIONS for details.

Setting self.ne_mode = ‘__internal__’ will set ne_mode as if one layer deeper in the call;
for many modes this just keeps ne_mode unchanged,
but for QN modes this sets ne_mode to the internal value that will be used,
e.g. if ne_mode was ‘QN_table’, setting ne_mode=’__internal__’ changes it to ne_mode=’table’.
property ne_mode_explicit

explicit ne_mode: ne_mode if not None, else n_mode.

property nnefrac_tiny_thresh

threshhold for where_nnefrac_tiny and where_nnefrac_significant.

tiny if n/ne < nnefrac_tiny_thresh, significant if n/ne >= nnefrac_tiny_thresh.
property nondim_behavior_attrs

list of attrs in self which control behavior of self, but which are NOT in self.dimensions.

on_changed_quasineutral(*, old, new)

called when self.quasineutral changes.

default behavior: do nothing.
property output_mask

whether to store_mask during xarray_mask calls if self.masking.

False –> never store mask in results
True –> always store mask in top-level results
(all results will be xarray.Dataset objects with ‘_mask’ data_var)
None –> only store mask in results which would have been Datasets anyways.
plot(name, who=UNSET, *, save=False, show=False, close=False, **kw_plotter)

makes a single plot using the relevant plotter.

name: str or Plotter
name of the plotter to use, or a Plotter instance.
(if Plotter, use directly and ignore ‘who’ input.)
who: UNSET, None, or str
person associated with the plotter.
UNSET –> use the plotter with this name; crash if found multiple same-named plotters.
save: bool, str, or dict.
whether to save figure after calling plotter.
str –> filename=save.format(name=name, savename=savename), instead of default filename=name.
dict –> pass to saver as kwargs. Use kwarg ‘dst’ to also provide filename.
if plotter.ani, saver is movie_obj.ani(), else saver is plt.savefig().
show: bool
whether to plt.show() after making plot (and, after save).
if show when ani==True, return movie_obj.ani() (so it will display in jupyter)
close: bool
whether to plt.show() after making plot (and, after save).
if show when ani==True, return movie_obj.ani() (so it will display in jupyter)
additional kwargs go to plotter.plot(…)
see also: self.get_plotters(), self.save_plots().
plot_check_nusn_from_drift(*, u='u', drift='momExB', cycle1={'ls': ['-', '--', '-.', ':']}, means=True, log=True, **kw_timelines)

plots PlasmaCalcs.timelines() for comparing nusn to nusn inferred from drifts.

This is meant to be used as a quick check. Use this code as an example if you need more low-level control.
u: str or iterable of strs
var to use for velocity. Might want something else, e.g. EppicCalculator might use u=’moment1’
iterable of strs –> get multiple.
drift: str or iterable of strs
tells the way to infer skappa, and thus nusn. Options: ‘momExB’, ‘momE’, ‘hall’, ‘pederson’.
iterable of strs –> get multiple.
cycle1: dict of lists
parameters to use for matplotlib plotting if getting multiple u or drift.
means: bool
whether to take means of lower-level vars while getting skappa.
(e.g. use ‘skappa_from_means_momExB’ instead of ‘skappa_from_momExB’, if True.)
log: bool
whether to take log10 of the ratios (nusn_from_drift / nusn) before plotting.
returns plt.gcf().
polyfit(array_or_var, coord, degree, window=UNSET, **kw)

polyfit along coord. Might coarsen array, polyfit in each window, and concat results.

array_or_var: xarray.DataArray, or str
array to polyfit.
str –> use array=self(array_or_var). (Note; **kw will NOT go to self.get(array_or_var))
coord: str
coordinate to polyfit along.
If coord is not already a dimension, use array=promote_dim(array, coord).
degree: int
degree of polynomial to fit.
window: UNSET, None, or int.
UNSET –> use self.polyfit_window
None –> don’t use windowing; polyfit to the entire array along coord.
int –> coarsen array along dim, using windows of this length,
then polyfit in each window, then concat results along coord.
Pass additional kwargs to xarray_coarsened_polyfit;
also use self.polyfit_kw as defaults (for any kwargs not provided here).
returns an xarray.DataSet which is the result of polyfit.
property polyfit_boundary

alias to self.polyfit_kw[‘boundary’].

When polyfitting, tells how to handle boundaries when coarsening array.
probably ‘exact’, ‘trim’, or ‘pad’.
property polyfit_cov

alias to self.polyfit_kw[‘cov’].

When polyfitting, tells whether to also return the covariance matrix.
only used if self.polyfit_full=False.
property polyfit_full

alias to self.polyfit_kw[‘full’].

When polyfitting, tells whether to also return residuals, matrix rank and singular values.
property polyfit_keep_coord

alias to self.polyfit_kw[‘keep_coord’].

When polyfitting, tells whether to keep some of the original coord values in result.
probably ‘left’, ‘middle’, ‘right’, or False.
property polyfit_kw

kwargs to pass to self.polyfit(), other than array, coord, degree, and window.

See polyfit_kw_key_aliases for a list of aliases to some of these kwargs, as attributes of self.
getting self.polyfit_kw will also set keys to default values from aliases,
e.g. polyfit_boundary has default of ‘trim’ –> if polyfit_kw[‘boundary’] not set, set it to ‘trim’.
property polyfit_stddev

alias to self.polyfit_kw[‘stddev’].

When polyfitting, tells whether to also return the standard deviations of the coefficients.
incompatible with self.polyfit_full=True.
property polyfit_window

When polyfitting, tells window size to use for coarsening arrays before fitting.

E.g., polyfit_window=10 –> windows of length 10, polyfit in each window, concat results.
pop_dim_keys(kw)

return ({key: kw.pop(key) for key in self.dimensions if key in kw}, kw).

property print_freq

None, or number (possibly negative or 0)

>0 –> Minimum number of seconds between progress updates.
=0 –> print every progress update.
<0 –> never print progress updates.
None –> use DEFAULTS.PROGRESS_UPDATES_PRINT_FREQ
property print_freq_explicit

like self.print_freq, but converts UNSET to value based on self.verbose,

UNSET –> result depends on self.verbose:
False or <=0 –> -1
True or (>=1 and <5) –> None
>=5 –> 0 (i.e. print every progress update)
if self.verbose doesn’t exist –> None
if result would be None, instead give DEFAULTS.PROGRESS_UPDATES_PRINT_FREQ.
quant_tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.
var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).
See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.
Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,
but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.
additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),
which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.
quant_tree_cls

alias of QuantTree

property quasineutral

tells whether self is in quasineutral mode.

property radtab

dict-like manager for Genrad tables.

Each table=radtab[var] should have a table.interp(values) method,
which returns value of var given appropriate values.
See table.invar for name of expected inputs.
radtab_cls

alias of GenradTableManager

record_units(array)

return array.assign_attrs(self.units_meta()).

if array is not an xarray.DataArray, convert it first.
static rmscomps(A)

return root mean squared of components of A.

E.g., rmscomps(A) –> sqrt((Ax^2 + Ay^2 + Az^2) / 3), if A has 3 components.
save_plots(kind=UNSET, who=UNSET, *, name=None, all_whos=UNSET, all_kinds=UNSET, skip_who=[], skip_kinds=[], min_cost=None, max_cost=None, dst='{savename}', save_log=True, log_extras=[], kw_save={}, bbox_inches=UNSET, dpi=UNSET, show=False, close=True, print_freq=0, **kw_plotter)

saves all plots from plotters associated with these inputs.

returns dict of {plotter: plotter result} for all plotters called.
Consider checking self.get_plotters() first to learn which plotters will be included.
For choosing which plotters to include:
kind: UNSET, str, or list.
kind associated with the plotter.
UNSET –> include plotters regardless of ‘kind’.
str –> require this kind to be in plotter.kinds.
list –> require at least one of these to be in plotter.kinds.
who: UNSET, None, str, or list.
person associated with the plotter.
UNSET –> include plotters regardless of ‘who’.
None –> require len(plotter.who) == 0.
str –> require this name to be in plotter.who.
list –> require at least one of these to be in plotter.who
(or, if None in list, allow len(plotter.who)==0, too)

max_cost: None or number
exclude plotters with cost > max_cost.
None –> no maximum.
For plotting:
dst: str
where to save plots to. Hit by dst.format(name=plotter.name, savename=plotter.savename).
if not abspath, save to os.path.join(self.unique_notes_dirname, dst) if possible,
else save to dst within current directory.
save_log: bool or str
whether to save a log of plot progress to _save_plots_log.txt file.
str –> save to this file name. If not abspath, put it in dir implied by dst (see above).
The log tells current datetime, version info about PlasmaCalcs, and plot timing updates.
log_extras: list of str
extra lines to put in the log “header”, if doing save_log.
kw_save: dict
kwargs to pass to plotter.save(…)
bbox_inches: UNSET or any value
if provided, added to kw_save.
dpi: UNSET or any value

close: bool
whether to plt.show() after making plot (and, after save).
if show when ani==True, return movie_obj.ani() (so it will display in jupyter)

property set

alias to set_var

set_E_un0_perpmod_B(value, **kw)

set E_un0_perpmod_B to this value. Also sets E_un0_perpmag_B.

set_T_fromtable(value, **kw)

set T_fromtable to this value. T_fromtable = single fluid temperature, from er table.

Depends on the current value of r; if also setting r be sure to set r first.
(internally, sets eperm such that T is the given value when doing lookups.)
set_attrs(**attrs)

sets these attrs in self.

set_collisions_crosstab(fluid1, fluid2, crosstab, *, crossmap=None)

roughly, does self.collisions_cross_mapping[(fluid1, fluid2)] = crosstab,

but this is a bit more convenient since it allows more shorthand options (see below)
fluid1, fluid2: int, str, or Fluid
the fluids to set the crosstab for.
Fluid –> use the provided value.
int or str –> infer the Fluid based on self.fluids.
crosstab: None, str, or CrossTable
None –> del self.collisions_cross_mapping[(fluid1, fluid2)], if possible.
else –> self.collisions_cross_mapping[(fluid1, fluid2)] = crosstab.
– CrossTable –> will use the provided value.
– str –> will use the CrossTable corresponding to this filename or key,
key from self.CROSS_TABLE_DEFAULTS.
Note: self.collisions_cross_mapping.smart=False can disable this.
crossmap: None or CrossMapping
if provided, set value in crossmap instead of in self.collisions_cross_mapping.
Example, these are all equivalent, if fluids[0]==’e’ and fluids[1]==’H II’:
self.set_collisions_crosstab(‘e’, ‘H II’, ‘e-h’)
self.set_collisions_crosstab(0, 1, ‘e-h-cross.txt’)
self.set_collisions_crosstab(self.fluids.get(‘e’), self.fluids.get(‘H II’),
CrossTable.from_file(‘e-h-cross.txt’))
self.collisions_cross_mapping[(self.fluids.get(0), self.fluids.get(1))] = ‘e-h’
set_collisions_crosstab_defaults(mode='bruno', *, crossmap=None)

set CROSS_TABLE_DEFAULTS cross sections for all relevant fluids in self.

e.g. if self has fluids e, H_I, H_II, He_II, would set:
crossmap[e, H_I] = ‘e-h’
crossmap[H_II, H_I] = ‘h-p’
crossmap[He_II, H_I] = ‘h-he’
crossmap[H_I, H_I] = ‘h-h’
if self has more relevant fluids, would set more crossmaps too.
see self.CROSS_TABLE_DEFAULTS for list of available defaults.
(note that order of keys doesn’t matter for crossmap since it’s a SymmetricPairMapping.)
mode: ‘bruno’ or ‘vranjes’
tells which defaults to use. (bruno is probably more accurate than vranjes.)
crossmap: None or CrossMapping
if provided, set values in crossmap instead of in self.collisions_cross_mapping.
gets relevant fluids from self.get_collisions_crosstab_default_fluids;
subclass may wish to override that method.
set_e(value, **kw)

set e to this value. e = energy density.

set_eperm(value, **kw)

set eperm to this value. eperm = internal energy per unit mass == e / r.

Depends on the current value of r; if also setting r be sure to set r first.
set_mask(mask)

sets self.mask = mask, and increments self._mask_cache_state (if checks succeed).

Also does some checks:
- mask is None or xarray.DataArray. If None, don’t do any other checks.
Also may alter mask slightly:
- discard non-dimension coords
set_mod_B(value, **kw)

set mod_B to this value. Also sets mag_B, mod2_B, and mag2_B.

set_n(value, **kw)

set n to this value. n = number density.

set_pop_dim_attrs(kw)

set self.{key} = kw.pop(key) for each key in self.dimensions if key in kw.

set_r(value, **kw)

set r to this value. r = mass density.

set_t_turb_00()

set self.t_turb & return t_turb from ‘00’ standard: t_turb_from_pwl2_ln_std_blur_deltafrac_n,

with fluid=electron, snap=None, blur_sigma=10.
Drops ‘fluid’, ‘snap’, and ‘t’ coords from result.
(internally, uses ‘caches_ln_std_blur_deltafrac_n’ with t_turb=None, to save time if recomputed later.)
(00 standard should never change, it will always mean this!)
set_t_turb_10()

set self.t_turb & return t_turb from ‘10’ standard: t_turb_from_pwl2_ln_std_blur_deltafrac_n,

for fluid=None, fitting across all snaps, and blur_sigma=10.
Renames ‘fluid’ to ‘tturb_fluid’ in result. Drops ‘snap’ and ‘t’ coords from result.
(internally, uses ‘caches_ln_std_blur_deltafrac_n’ with t_turb=None, to save time if recomputed later.)
(10 standard should never change, it will always mean this!)
set_var(var, value, behavior_attrs=None, forall=[], *, ukey=None, forced=False, **kw_using)

set var in self. When later doing self(var) to get var, return the set value,

but only if self.behavior is compatible with the relevant parts of self.behavior when var was set.
This function will use, if it exists:
self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var](self, value, behavior_attrs, forall=forall)
Otherwise, calls:
self.set_var_internal(var, value, self.behavior_attrs, forall=forall)
var: str
the var to set in self.
value: number, xarray, iterable or 1D array, array with shape matching self.maindims_shape.
the value to set var to.
number –> set var to this number.
xarray –> set var to this xarray.
[TODO](not yet implemented) iterable or 1D array –> set var to these values along dim=’testing’.
[TODO](not yet implemented) array with shape matching self.maindims_shape –> set var to this array.
behavior_attrs: None or list
tells which attrs from self control behavior of the set var.
The set var will only be retrieved when behavior_attrs of self are compatible.
E.g. set_var(‘n’, [‘fluid’, ‘snap’]) –> saves ‘n’ in cache with current fluid & snap.
Will only load ‘n’ if self.fluid and self.snap == cached fluid and snap for ‘n’.
if var in self.KNOWN_SETTERS, cannot provide behavior_attrs here.
else, use self.behavior_attrs if None.
forall: list of strings
if provided, tells which attrs of self do NOT control the behavior of the set var.
E.g. forall=[‘snap’] –> ‘snap’ will NOT be included in behavior_attrs.
(anything in behavior_attrs AND forall will be removed from the final behavior_attrs)
ukey: None or str
if provided, tells string to give to UnitsManager when converting value’s units.
When ukey is known, setting value in any unit system will enable to read it in all unit systems.
E.g. set_var(‘n’, 1e10, …, ukey=’n’, units=’si’)
–> self(‘n’, units=’raw’) == self(‘n’, units=’si’) * self.u(‘u’, ‘raw’, convert_from=’si’)
if not provided, value will be associated with current unit system;
attempted to read value in any other unit system will not used the cached value set here.
E.g. set_var(‘u’, 1e10, …, units=’si’) # ukey not provided
–> self(‘u’, units=’raw’) –> uses self’s other logic for getting ‘u’, not from setvars.
note: if provided, ‘units’ will be added to behavior_attrs if not already in there.
forced: bool, default True
handles the case where self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var] doesn’t exist. In that case…
True –> set var in self, anyway.
False –> crash; raise FormulaMissingError
additional kwargs, if provided, go to self.using(**kw) during the operation.
returns list of set quantities.
set_var_internal(var, value, behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None)

set var in self. KNOWN_SETTERS functions may wish to use this method.

(KNOWN_SETTERS functions should NOT use self.set_var, to avoid recursion issue.)
This function has the internal logic for self.set_var;
set_var calls set_var_internal when self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var] not provided.
var: str
the var to set in self.
value: number, xarray, iterable or 1D array, array with shape matching self.maindims_shape.
the value to set var to. See help(self.set_var) for more info.
behavior_attrs: list of strings
the behavior attrs relevant to setting this var;
getting var only gives value when current behavior attrs values are compatible with the cached ones.
forall: list of strings
if provided, tells which behavior attrs do NOT control the behavior of the set var.
e.g. behavior_attrs=[‘snap’, ‘fluid’], forall=[‘snap’] –> use [‘fluid’], only.
ukey: None or str
if provided, tells string to give to UnitsManager when converting value’s units;
when ukey is provided, can retrieve value in any unit system (probably ‘si’ or ‘raw’).
when ukey not provided, if ‘units’ in used behavior attrs, can only retrieve value in that unit system.
set_vtherm(value, **kw)

set thermal velocity, by setting T.

vtherm = sqrt(kB T / m) –> set T to (m vtherm^2 / kB).
property setvar

alias to set_var

property setvars

VarCache of vars set via self.set_var(). Returns these values when appropriate,

i.e. whenever self.behavior is compatible with the behavior in the cache.
To empty the cache, use self.setvars.clear() to empty the cache.
slice_maindims(array, **kw_xarray_isel)

slice maindims of array using self.slices. See help(type(self).slices) for more details.

(if slices is an empty dict, return array, unchanged, without making a copy.)
Only slice dims which actually appear in array.
property slices

slices for maindims when loading arrays & during get_maindims_coords.

E.g. slices = dict(x=slice(0,50), y=7)
–> slice arrays along x & y, taking the first 50 x values, and only the 7th y value.
Notes:
- only applies slices along arrays which actually contain the related coordinates,
e.g. if z=10 appears in slice but loading an array with only x & y, won’t apply z=10 slice.
- supports fractional indexing, as per interprets_fractional_indexing.
Non-integer values between -1 and 1 can be used to infer to a fraction of the dimension length,
with negative values referring to a distance from the end, just like with integer indexing.
Example: dict(x=slice(-0.3, None, 0.01), y=0.8), where x and y each have length 1000
–> equivalent to dict(x=slice(-300, None, 10), y=800).
if self.slicing is False, self.slices will give an empty dict and cannot be set to any value!
however, the old value of self.slices will be remembered in case slicing is set to True later.
slicestr(*, sep=', ', keep_None=False)

string representation of self.slices, for use in filenames, titles, etc.

comma-separated, alphabetized, ignoring slice(None).
Supports single-indexes (e.g. x=5), slices (e.g. y=slice(0, 4)),
and fractional indexing (e.g. z=slice(0, 0.5, 0.01)),
though fractional indexing will be converted to ints.

sep: str, separator between slices keep_None: bool, whether to keep slices with value None in the string.

property slicing

whether to slice maindims when loading arrays & during get_maindims_coords.

if False, self.slices will return an empty dict.
property snap

alias to self.snap_dim.v

property snap_dim

snap dimension for SnapHaver.

snap_dim_cls

alias of SnapDimension

snap_filepath(snap=None)

convert snap to full file path for this snap. Subclass should implement.

snap: None, str, in, or Snap
the snapshot to load. if None, use self.snap.
property snap_is_iterable

alias to self.snap_dim.is_iterable

property snap_list

alias to self.snap_dim.list

property snap_type

alias to self.snap_dim.get_type

property snapdir

directory containing the snapshot files. Subclass should implement.

property snaps

alias to self.snap_dim.values

solve_tfbi_vs_EBspeed(*, Mbytes_max=True, cache='caches', **kw_solve)

solve tfbi across EBspeed grid from self(‘tfbi_EBspeed_grid’).

CAUTION: the implementation here might self.set(‘E_un0_perpmod_B’, self(‘mod_B’) * EBspeed)

[TODO] avoid changing self.setvars… (or, at least, restore previous self.setvars afterwards.)

Suggestion: use self.setvars.clear() after calling this function.

Mbytes_max: bool or number
maxmimum allowed data size [in MB] of self(‘tfbi_inputs’), before setting EBspeed grid.
(helps prevent accidental requests to solve too many points at once.)
(ignored if cache implies to load from existing cached file.)
True –> use default: DEFAULTS.ADDONS.TFBI_EBSPEED_INPUTS_MBYTES_MAX (default: 0.1).
False or None –> no maximum
cache: ‘caches’, ‘cache’, ‘cached’, or False
controls how & whether to handle cache the result.
cached results go to self._tfbi_vs_EBspeed_file(); default:
{self.unique_notes_dirname}/_pc_tfbi/EBspeed_{logmin:.4g}_{logmax:.4g}_{logstep:.4g}.pcxarr
where logmin, logmax, logstep are from self.tfbi_EBspeed_grid_size
‘caches’ –> read from saved file if it exists. Else, solve and save to file.
‘cache’ –> solve and save to file. Saved file must not exist yet (else, crash).
‘cached’ –> read from saved file. Saved file must exist (else, crash).
False –> solve and return result, but do not save to file nor check if file exists.
additional kwargs are passed to self.tfbi_solver().solve(**kw)
standardized_slices()

returns a copy of self.slices, but calling interprets_fractional_indexing on all slices,

using lengths from self.maindims_full_sizes.
property stat_dims

the dims over which to possibly apply statistics (StatsLoader methods).

will only apply statics along these dims for an array if they actually appear in the array.
None –> use self.maindims. (this is the default.)
See also: self.stat_dims_for(array).
stat_dims_for(array)

return the dims to apply statistics over, for this array.

Here, returns tuple of d from self.stat_dims if d in array.dims.
property stats_dimpoint_wise

whether to apply stat calculations at each DimPoint, or after loading the full array.

[EFF] this setting is just for efficiency; it doesn’t affect results (when no MemorySizeError crash).
True –> apply stat calculations to each array (at each DimPoint) before joining arrays.
e.g., self(‘mean_n’) gets ‘mean_n’ at each fluid & snap, then joins results.
False –> join arrays across all DimPoints before applying stat calculations.
e.g., self(‘mean_n’) gets ‘n’ (which varies across fluid & snap), then takes mean.
None –> if result.size will be > DEFAULTS.STATS_DIMPOINT_WISE_MIN_N / self.get_ncpu(), use True.
otherwise try using False, then use True if MemorySizeError is raised.
(True seems to be faster for large arrays but slower for small arrays.
But also, when ncpu>1, loading across dimpoints is faster due to parallelization.)
regardless of this setting, stat calculations are applied only along self.stat_dims(array).
store_mask(arr)

equivalent: xarray_store_mask(arr, self.mask). Also equivalent: arr.pc.store_mask(self.mask)

property surelin_min_quantile

fraction of t_turb which tells start time of “definitely linear regime”.

Use this to avoid including startup noise when computing linear properties.
Example: t_turb=10, surelin_min_quantile=0.05 –> t_surelin=0.05*10 = 0.5.
property surelin_quantile

fraction of t_turb which tells t_surelin.

t_turb tells when turbulence probably starts.
t_surelin tells time before which, values are definitely in the linear regime.
–> to compute linear properties consider only t < t_surelin.
Example: t_turb=10, surelin_quantile=0.2 –> t_surelin=0.2*10 = 2.
See also: surelin_min_quantile.
property t_turb

None, or time of turbulent onset. some _turb quantities tell values only at t>=t_turb.

Can be set to a DataArray, to test multiple possibilities at once.
Units should be self.units. Changing self.units afterwards will NOT auto-update t_turb.
property tabin

dict-like manager for Equation Of State tables; should include keys ‘ne’, ‘T’, ‘P’.

Each table=tabin[var] should have a table.interp(r=r, e=e) method,
which returns value of var in ‘raw’ units, given values of r & e in ‘raw’ units.
tabin_cls

alias of erTabInputManager

property tabinputfile

path to tabinputfile, used by self._default_tabin() to create self.tabin.

property take_component

alias to self.component_dim.take

property take_components

alias to self.component_dim.take_along

property take_fluid

alias to self.fluid_dim.take

property take_fluids

alias to self.fluid_dim.take_along

property take_jfluid

alias to self.jfluid_dim.take

property take_jfluids

alias to self.jfluid_dim.take_along

static take_parallel_to(B, A)

return the component of A parallel to B. Equivalent: (A dot Bhat) Bhat.

Note that B is the first argument.
static take_perp_to(B, A)

return the component of A perpendicular to B. Equivalent: A - (A dot Bhat) Bhat.

Note that B is the first argument.
property take_snap

alias to self.snap_dim.take

property take_snaps

alias to self.snap_dim.take_along

property tfbi_EBspeed_grid_size

(logmin, logmax, logstep) for self(‘tfbi_EBspeed_grid’); log is base 10.

Default: DEFAULTS.ADDONS.TFBI_EBSPEED_LOGMIN, LOGMAX, LOGSTEP; (default: (3, 4, 0.01)).

tfbi_ds(ions=None, *, all=True, output_mask=True, **kw_get_var)

returns Dataset of all the values needed & relevant to TFBI theory.

Equivalent: self(‘tfbi_all’, fluid=[electron, *ions], masking=True, …)
ions: None or specifier of multiple fluids (e.g. slice, or list of strs)
list of ions to use. None –> self.fluids.ions()
all: bool
whether to include ‘tfbi_all’, or only ‘tfbi_inputs’.
With only ‘tfbi_inputs’, the theory is still solvable, but harder to inspect later.
output_mask: bool
whether to store_mask in results, if self.masking (and self.mask is not None)
additional kwargs passed to self(…)
property tfbi_growth_thresh

threshold for confirming “yes there is tfbi growth predicted here”, during self(‘tfbi_E_thresh’).

growth must be larger than (not equal to) this value, to confirm growth.
0.0 is the theoretical threshold. A small positive value (e.g. 0.001) helps to avoid tiny errors.
The default is DEFAULTS.ADDONS.TFBI_GROWTH_THRESH (default: 0.001).
tfbi_mask(*, kappae=1, ionfrac=0.001, kappai=1, set=True)

set & return self.mask appropriate for TFBI.

kappae: None or number, default 1
lower limit for kappae; mask points with kappae smaller than this value.
(kappae = |qe| |B| / (me nuen))
Internally, loaded as ‘kappa’ with fluid=’e’.
TFBI probably only matters when electrons are magnetized –> kappae >> 1.
Applying TFBI theory to kappae masked points would still be fine,
but will probably always say “instability doesn’t grow there”.
None –> no mask on kappae
ionfrac: None or number
upper limit for ionfrac; mask points with ionfrac larger than this value.
(ionfrac = ne / ntotal)
Internally, loaded as ‘SF_ionfrac’ if available,
else ne/(ne+n_neutral), with ne from self(‘n’, fluid=self.fluids.get_electron()).
(Note: checked in Bifrost: SF_ionfrac uses SF_n = sum of element densities.
SF_n does not include ne.
The formula SF_ionfrac = ne/(ne+nn) uses ne as a proxy for sum(ni),
which will be okay unless there are twice+ ionized species.)
TFBI assumes weakly ionized.
E_un0 also assumes weakly ionized, when self.assume_un=’u’.
Applying TFBI theory to ionfrac masked points would be a big issue,
as it could lead to many false positives,
where physical effects not included in the theory damp out the TFBI.
None –> no mask on ionfrac.
kappai: None or number, default 1
upper limit for min kappai; mask points with all kappai larger than this value.
(kappai = |qi| |B| / (mi nuin))
Internally, loaded as ‘kappa’ with fluid=ions, then take min across fluids.
TFBI probably only matters when at least 1 ion species is demagnetized –> kappai < 1.
Applying TFBI theory to kappai masked points would still be fine,
but will probably always say “instability doesn’t grow there”.
None –> no mask on kappai.
set: bool
whether to set self.mask = result.
if False, only returns the result, without also setting self.mask.
tfbi_solver(ions=None, **kw_solver)

return TfbiSolver object for solving TFBI theory based on values in self.

all inputs here get passed to TfbiSolver. Equivalent: TfbiSolver(self, …).
docs for TfbiSolver copied below for convenience:
————————————————-
high-level interface for solving TFBI theory across many physical parameters.
Call TfbiSolver to solve TFBI.
Example:
import PlasmaCalcs as pc
cc = pc.PlasmaCalculator(…) # <– your PlasmaCalculator of choice
solver = pc.TfbiSolver(cc)
solution = solver() # alias: solver.solve()
solution is an xarray.Dataset with all relevant quantities (see TfbiLoader.get_tfbi_all),
and ‘omega’ telling roots with largest imaginary part.
If you need more precise control over the solving process, use the pattern:
import tfbi_theory as tt
import PlasmaCalcs as pc
cc = … # any PlasmaCalculator object from PlasmaCalcs.
ds0 = cc.tfbi_ds()
kp = tt.kPickerLowres(ds0)
dsk = kp.get_ds() # copy of ds0, but with ds[‘k’] = k from kPicker.
drel = tt.TfbiDisprelC.from_ds(dsk)
dsR = drel.solve() # copy of dsk, but with ds[‘omega’] = solution to TFBI theory!
TfbiSolver internally stores self.cc, ds0, kp, dsk, drel, and dsR,
as defined by the pattern above.
cc: PlasmaCalculator
PlasmaCalculator object used to load the data.
Should be a TfbiLoader subclass. (PlasmaCalculator satisfies this by default,
assuming successful import SymSolver and import tfbi_theory.)
ions: None or specifier of multiple fluids (e.g. slice, or list of strs)
None –> use cc.fluids.ions()
print warning if this specifies more than DEFAULTS.ADDONS.TFBI_MAX_NUM_IONS ions
(default: 5), because then solving will be slow and may be inaccurate.
ions are determined when called, not during __init__.
kres: ‘low’, ‘mid’, or ‘high’
resolution in k-space. Tells which self.kPicker_cls to use.
‘low’ –> tfbi_theory.kPickerLowres. Recommended if solving across many points.
‘mid’ –> tfbi_theory.kPickerMidres. Recommended if solving across a few points.
‘high’ –> tfbi_theory.kPickerHighres. Recommended if solving at only 1 point.
mod, lmod, ang: UNSET or dict
passed directly to kPicker if provided. Can specify k values other than the defaults.
see help(self.kPicker_cls) for more details.
tfbi_all: bool
whether to compute all relevant tfbi vars, ds0 = cc(‘tfbi_all’).
False –> compute only the necessary vars, ds0 = cc(‘tfbi_inputs’).
drel_cls: None, str, or class
tfbi_theory class to use for solving TFBI theory.
None –> use self.drel_cls default: tt.TfbiDisprelC
str –> use getattr(tt, drel_cls) to get the class.
tfbi_solver_cls

alias of TfbiSolver

property timeout

None or int

max duration, in seconds. Must be None or integer (due to limitations of signal.alarm method)
None –> no time limit.
Note: if time_limit is reached, will raise a TimeoutError and save the result so far.
(in this case, any not-yet-calculated values will each be RESULT_MISSING.)
title_with_slices(*, sep=', ', keep_None=False)

return self.title with slicestr appended (after sep), if slicestr is not empty.

see self.slicestr() for more details.
property toplevel_scale_coords

dict of {coord_name: coord_scaling} to apply to top-level outputs of self(var).

(Never applies to internal calls of self(var), only applies at self.call_depth==1.)
Useful if making plots and want to scale coords by some factor.
E.g., self.toplevel_scale_coords = {‘t’: 1000} to convert s to ms.

CAUTION: coord units labels will remain unaffected.

tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.
var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).
See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.
Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,
but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.
additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),
which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.
property typevar_crash_if_nan

bool. whether to crash methods if typevar output would be ‘nan’.

False –> return NaN when typevar gives ‘nan’, instead of crashing.
“typevar” here refers to any var used for checking which formula to use, from various options,
e.g. ‘ntype’ in MhdMultifluidLoader or ‘ionfrac_type’ in MhdIonizationLoader.
The relevant methods can check if self.typevar_crash_if_nan before returning a ‘nan’ result.
property u

the current units manager for self.

if not yet initialized, getting self.u will create (and store) a new UnitsManager().
property units

the current unit system for self. E.g., ‘si’. (this is an alias to self.u.units)

units_meta()

return dict(units=self.units). Also include coords_units if different.

unmask(arr, **kw_xarray_unmask)

restore arr to the same shape as unmasked unstacked arrays. masked vals will still be np.nan.

Equivalent: xarray_unmask(arr) if arr has ‘_mask’ data_var, else xarray_unmask(arr, mask=self.mask)
property unset

alias to unset_var

unset_var(var, behavior_attrs=[], *, missing_ok=True, **kw_using)

remove var from self.setvars (but only at values stored with relevant behavior).

[TODO] define rules for which vars unset which other vars…
e.g. for eppic right now, set_var(‘n’) sets ‘den’ but not ‘n’;
unset_var(‘n’) unsets nothing… but should probably alias to unset_var(‘den’).
behavior_attrs: list of strings
only remove cached values where self.behavior matches cached behavior for these attrs.
if empty, remove all cached values for var, regardless of associated behavior.
missing_ok: bool
whether it is okay for there to be zero matching cached values for var.
raise CacheNotApplicableError if missing_ok=False when there are no matching cached values.
additional kwargs, if provided, go to self.using(**kw) during the operation.
return list of CachedQuantity objects which were removed from self.setvars.
unset_var_internal(var, behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None, missing_ok=True)

unset var from self.setvars.

KNOWN_SETTERS functions may wish to use this method, to unset dependent values.
E.g. if u depends on n, and n is changed, may wish to unset the value of u.
behavior_attrs: list of strings
the behavior attrs relevant to setting this var.
forall: list of strings
if provided, tells which behavior attrs to ignore when unsetting the var.
ukey: None or string
if provided, ignore ‘units’ behavior attr when unsetting the var
(due to assuming that ukey was provided when setting the var,
hence that the set var could be retrieved in any units system)
missing_ok: bool
whether it is okay for there to be zero matching cached values for var.
raise CacheNotApplicableError if missing_ok=False when there are no matching cached values.
return list of CachedQuantity objects which were removed from self.setvars.
use_mix_heavy_ions(m_tol=0.1, *, m_min=5, m_mean_mode='simple', **kw_mix_heavy_ions)

self.init_fluids() then set self.fluids = self.fluids.mix_heavy_ions(…). returns self.fluids.

See self.fluids.mix_heavy_ions for more details.
m_tol: number
maximum allowed relative mass deviation from mean within a group (an IonMixture).
within each group, all ions have |m_ion - mean(m)| < m_tol * mean(m).
E.g. 0.1 –> all ions in each group are within 10% of that group’s mean mass.
m_min: number
minimum mass (in amu, i.e. m_H ~= 1) for an ion to be considered “heavy”.
ions with m < m_min are ignored.
m_mean_mode: str
mode for calculating mean mass of each IonMixture.
‘simple’ (default) or ‘density’ (weighted by number density).
property using

alias to using_attrs

using_at_call_depth(depth, **attrs_and_values)

context manager for setting attrs_and_values but only while call_depth == depth.

E.g.:

with self.using_at_call_depth(3, verbose=3):
self(‘sgyrof’)
# while self.call_depth == 3 inside of this ‘with’ block, uses self.verbose=3.
# but everywhere else, uses original value of verbose.
# assuming originally verbose=False (or unset), this example will print:
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’q’
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’mod_B’
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’m’
# compare this to simply using self.verbose=3, which would print:
| (call_depth=1) get var=’sgyrof’
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’q’
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’mod_B’
| | | (call_depth=3) get var=’B_dot_B’
| | | | (call_depth=4) get var=’B_xyz’
| | | | | (call_depth=5) get var=’B’
| | (call_depth=2) get var=’m’
Equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.using_obj_attrs_at(depth, **attrs_and_values)
using_at_next_call_depth(**attrs_and_values)

context manager for setting attrs_and_values but only while call_depth == self.call_depth + 1

Equivalent to self.using_at_call_depth(self.call_depth + 1, **attrs_and_values).

(Also equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.using_obj_attrs_at_next(**attrs_and_values).)
using_attrs(attrs_as_dict={}, _unset_sentinel=ATTR_UNSET, **attrs_and_values)

returns context manager which sets attrs of obj upon entry; restores original values upon exit.

_unset_sentinel: any value, default ATTR_UNSET
upon entry, delete any attrs with value _unset_sentinel (compared via ‘is’).
E.g. using_attrs(obj, _unset_sentinel=None, x=None) –> del obj.x upon entry.
using_first_dimpoint(dims=None)

return context manager which sets dimensions to their first values (when called); restore original on exit.

Useful for testing a single code at a single dimpoint without needing to set each dimension individually.
dims: None or iterable of strs appearing in self.dimensions.keys()
dimensions to include. None –> use all dimensions.
property werrmath_require_std

whether to require ‘std’ data var appear in at least 1 input for all werrmath operations.

E.g. if True and doing A_werradd_B but neither A nor B has ‘std’, crash with InputError.
property window

alias to polyfit_window
