PySDM

PySDM is a package for simulating the dynamics of population of particles. It is intended to serve as a building block for simulation systems modelling fluid flows involving a dispersed phase, with PySDM being responsible for representation of the dispersed phase. Currently, the development is focused on atmospheric cloud physics applications, in particular on modelling the dynamics of particles immersed in moist air using the particle-based (a.k.a. super-droplet) approach to represent aerosol/cloud/rain microphysics. The package features a Pythonic high-performance implementation of the Super-Droplet Method (SDM) Monte-Carlo algorithm for representing collisional growth (Shima et al. 2009), hence the name.

There is a growing set of example Jupyter notebooks exemplifying how to perform various types of calculations and simulations using PySDM. Most of the example notebooks reproduce resutls and plot from literature, see below for a list of examples and links to the notebooks (which can be either executed or viewed "in the cloud").

PySDM has two alternative parallel number-crunching backends available: multi-threaded CPU backend based on Numba and GPU-resident backend built on top of ThrustRTC. The Numba backend (aliased CPU) features multi-threaded parallelism for multi-core CPUs, it uses the just-in-time compilation technique based on the LLVM infrastructure. The ThrustRTC backend (aliased GPU) offers GPU-resident operation of PySDM leveraging the SIMT parallelisation model. Using the GPU backend requires nVidia hardware and CUDA driver.

For an overview of PySDM features (and the preferred way to cite PySDM in papers), please refer to our JOSS paper:

Bartman et al. 2022 (PySDM v1).
de Jong et al. 2023 (PySDM v2). For a list of talks and other materials on PySDM, see the project wiki.

A pdoc-generated documentation of PySDM public API is maintained at: https://open-atmos.github.io/PySDM

Example Jupyter notebooks (reproducing results from literature):

See PySDM-examples README.

Dependencies and Installation

PySDM dependencies are: Numpy, Numba, SciPy, Pint, chempy, pyevtk, ThrustRTC and CURandRTC.

To install PySDM using pip, use: pip install PySDM (or pip install git+https://github.com/open-atmos/PySDM.git to get updates beyond the latest release).

Conda users may use pip as well, see the Installing non-conda packages section in the conda docs. Dependencies of PySDM are available at the following conda channels:

numba: numba
conda-forge: pyevtk, pint and
fyplus: ThrustRTC, CURandRTC
bjodah: chempy
nvidia: cudatoolkit

For development purposes, we suggest cloning the repository and installing it using pip -e. Test-time dependencies can be installed with pip -e .[tests].

PySDM examples constitute the PySDM-examples package. The examples have additional dependencies listed in PySDM_examples package setup.py file. Running the example Jupyter notebooks requires the PySDM_examples package to be installed. The suggested install and launch steps are:

git clone https://github.com/open-atmos/PySDM.git
cd examples
pip install -e .
jupyter-notebook

Alternatively, one can also install the examples package from pypi.org by using pip install PySDM-examples (note that this does not apply to notebooks itself, only the supporting .py files).

Hello-world coalescence example in Python, Julia and Matlab

In order to depict the PySDM API with a practical example, the following listings provide sample code roughly reproducing the Figure 2 from Shima et al. 2009 paper using PySDM from Python, Julia and Matlab. It is a Coalescence-only set-up in which the initial particle size spectrum is Exponential and is deterministically sampled to match the condition of each super-droplet having equal initial multiplicity:

The key element of the PySDM interface is the Particulator class instances of which are used to manage the system state and control the simulation. Instantiation of the Particulator class is handled by the Builder as exemplified below:

particulator = builder.build(attributes, products)

The backend argument may be set to CPU or GPU what translates to choosing the multi-threaded backend or the GPU-resident computation mode, respectively. The employed Box environment corresponds to a zero-dimensional framework (particle positions are not considered). The vectors of particle multiplicities n and particle volumes v are used to initialise super-droplet attributes. The Coalescence Monte-Carlo algorithm (Super Droplet Method) is registered as the only dynamic in the system. Finally, the build() method is used to obtain an instance of Particulator which can then be used to control time-stepping and access simulation state.

The run(nt) method advances the simulation by nt timesteps. In the listing below, its usage is interleaved with plotting logic which displays a histogram of particle mass distribution at selected timesteps:

Hello-world condensation example in Python, Julia and Matlab

In the following example, a condensation-only setup is used with the adiabatic Parcel environment. An initial Lognormal spectrum of dry aerosol particles is first initialised to equilibrium wet size for the given initial humidity. Subsequent particle growth due to Condensation of water vapour (coupled with the release of latent heat) causes a subset of particles to activate into cloud droplets. Results of the simulation are plotted against vertical ParcelDisplacement and depict the evolution of PeakSupersaturation, EffectiveRadius, ParticleConcentration and the WaterMixingRatio .

Contributing, reporting issues, seeking support

Our technologicial stack:

Submitting new code to the project, please preferably use GitHub pull requests - it helps to keep record of code authorship, track and archive the code review workflow and allows to benefit from the continuous integration setup which automates execution of tests with the newly added code.

Code contributions are assumed to imply transfer of copyright. Should there be a need to make an exception, please indicate it when creating a pull request or contributing code in any other way. In any case, the license of the contributed code must be compatible with GPL v3.

Developing the code, we follow The Way of Python and the KISS principle. The codebase has greatly benefited from PyCharm code inspections and Pylint, Black and isort code analysis (which are all part of the CI workflows).

We also use pre-commit hooks. In our case, the hooks modify files and re-format them. The pre-commit hooks can be run locally, and then the resultant changes need to be staged before committing. To set up the hooks locally, install pre-commit via pip install pre-commit and set up the git hooks via pre-commit install (this needs to be done every time you clone the project). To run all pre-commit hooks, run pre-commit run --all-files. The .pre-commit-config.yaml file can be modified in case new hooks are to be added or existing ones need to be altered.

Further hints addressed at PySDM developers are maintained in the open-atmos/python-dev-hints Wiki.

Issues regarding any incorrect, unintuitive or undocumented bahaviour of PySDM are best to be reported on the GitHub issue tracker. Feature requests are recorded in the "Ideas..." PySDM wiki page.

We encourage to use the GitHub Discussions feature (rather than the issue tracker) for seeking support in understanding, using and extending PySDM code.

We look forward to your contributions and feedback.

The development and maintenance of PySDM is led by Sylwester Arabas. Piotr Bartman had been the architect and main developer of technological solutions in PySDM. The suite of examples shipped with PySDM includes contributions from researchers from Jagiellonian University departments of computer science, physics and chemistry; and from Caltech's Climate Modelling Alliance.

Development of PySDM had been initially supported by the EU through a grant of the Foundation for Polish Science) (POIR.04.04.00-00-5E1C/18) realised at the Jagiellonian University. The immersion freezing support in PySDM is developed with support from the US Department of Energy Atmospheric System Research programme through a grant realised at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
