Create a new simulation

Michael Hirsch, Ph.D edited this page Jan 4, 2019 · 1 revision
  1. Create initial conditions for equilibrium simulation. Example equilibrium setups are initialize/*eq. These are based off of the general script setup/model_setup.m.
    This equilibrium simulation sets the date, location, and geomagnetic conditions for the background ionospheric state necessary to initialize perturbation simulations.
  2. Run an equilibrium simulation at low resolution to obtain a background ionosphere.
    See examples under initialize/*eq
  3. Generate a grid. In particular, for test2d and test3d there is a script that reads in an equilibrium simulation, creates a fine resolution mesh, and then interpolates the equilibrium data onto that fine mesh.
  4. Interpolate the equilibrium results onto a high resolution grid and create new input files for full resolution. See examples in the ./initialize/ directories not ending in _eq.
    These are all based off of the general ./setup/model_setup_interp.m script.
  5. Set up boundary conditions if desired for:
    • potential
    • precipitation
  6. Run your new simulation
