Welcome to the school on Pencil Code!
Introduction to the school. History and scientific summary of Pencil Code.
Session to introduce yourself! We want to hear about your research interests, background and expectations from the school!
Installation and getting familiar with the code. Running your first sample(s).
Go on into the Pencil Code website (https://pencil-code.nordita.org/), download the code and install libraries (you can see the quick starter guide attached here) and documentation available on Pencil Code's website.
Magnetic fields occur spontaneously both in astrophysics and in the early universe. Their energy sources are rather different: kinetic energy of the plasma in astrophysics and a variety of other forms of energy including axions, scalar fields, and chiral fermions in the cosmological settings. However, both areas have in common that the magnetic field is amplified by a long wavelength...
Reports from steering committee (P. Bourdin), scientific usage of Pencil Code (A. Brandenburg), Pencil Code school (A. Roper Pol)
Discussion of relevant topics to be addressed during the week, preparation of the agenda and distribution of the coding sessions.
Checking samples running with GPUs. Stable versions and future applications.
Dark Matter and N-body simulations with expansion. PIC simulations.
Part 1: python visualization, unifying Jupyter notebooks, extending documentation, GW turbulence postprocessing in Python, pip installation of Python packages.
Part 2: MacOS tests, docker.
Part 3: unique input file, restructuring the run directory.
