Hi,

I'm trying to solve a simple Poisson's equation on a full disk structure.
I'm wondering whether you would recommend that I use the double-cover method 
or whether there is some spectral basis that would be better.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Did you figure out the best way to solve some equations on a full 2D disk?

Hi,

This is a bit belated, but our 2D disk bases are ready for testing in Dedalus 3. It's very pre-release at this point, but if you'd like to try, we can provide an example.

Hi Jeff,

I would love to try it!!!!!!!! :DDD

Should I install dedalus from the github repo to test it?

Best,
Louis

I would be interested to know what is under the hood. I have a low-burning interest on topic since the summer of 2009 (https://sites.physics.utoronto.ca/nicolasgrisouard/images/otherpublications/2009GrisouardUnknown)

Cheers, Nico.

Hi Nico, 

As Jeff mentioned, we are still finalising the APIs for the disk. So the code implementation is still a bit in flux. But it will be getting sorted out reasonably soon. 

But if you want to read about what really under the hood you might kind the following useful:


We followed that up with similar results in the sphere:


Even if the disk is what you are really after, the sphere does help put things in context a bit. 

Hope that helps!  

Cheers, 
Geoff

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! -- Nico.

Hi all,

I've had a first run through those papers.
Would you say that the best way foward to setting up a problem for Rayleigh-Benard convection in a disk geometry is to start from the convection benchmark problem at https://github.com/DedalusProject/dedalus_sphere/blob/master/paper/marti_conv_benchmark.py ?
I understand it may change the definition of the matrices but is it doable to remove the latitudinal dependence from this script?
Or would you recommend working on a new script?

Happy to provide more details on the problem set up if helpful!
Best,
Louis

Hi Louis,

I think the easiest thing would actually be to wait a couple more weeks, when we’ll have the real “beta release” of v3 of Dedalus.  There’s a few things we’re trying to clean up before then, which are taking a little longer than expected, but the payoff is that you’ll be able to use disks and spheres in a much more “dedalus-like” symbolic syntax without having to deal with the matrices directly, at all.  And a simple setup with Rayleigh-Benard in a sideways disk is one of the included examples, so that would definitely be the easiest place to start from.

Best,
-Keaton

Hi Keaton,
Ok. This is rather convincing :)
Looking forward to it (and thank you so much for working on all these new features!!)!
Best,
Louis

Hello,
Has the beta version of dedalus v3 been released?
Cheers,
