On the record
- Algorithm options
- Supported MPDATA variants include non-oscillatory, infinite-gauge, divergent-flow, double-pass donor cell, and third-order-terms options.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Boundary conditions
- The library provides Periodic, Extrapolated, Constant, and Polar boundary conditions.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Dependencies
- PyMPDATA depends on NumPy, Numba, and pystrict.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Diffusion
- It supports Fickian terms in advection-diffusion problems through a pseudo-transport-velocity approach.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Dimensions
- It supports integration on structured meshes in 1D, 2D, and 3D, with optional coordinate transformations.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Examples
- A separate PyMPDATA-examples package provides usage examples, and its notebooks can be run through Google Colab or mybinder.org.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Installation
- The package is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip; the documentation says user installation does not require a compilation stage.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Intended users
- The project describes its design as serving research users, developers, and maintainers.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- License
- PyMPDATA and PyMPDATA-examples are free/libre open-source packages released under the GNU GPL v3 license.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Notable limitation
- Installing PyMPDATA alone does not install the separate examples or MPI packages.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Parallelism
- 2D and 3D simulations use domain decomposition for multithreaded parallelism; a separate PyMPDATA-MPI project demonstrates distributed-memory parallelism.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Purpose
- PyMPDATA is a Numba-accelerated Python implementation of MPDATA for numerically solving generalized convection-diffusion and transport equations.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
- Support
- The maintainers recommend GitHub Discussions for help understanding, using, and extending the code, and the GitHub issue tracker for reporting incorrect, unintuitive, or undocumented behavior.open-atmos.github.io · read 5 Oct 2026
