grids.core#

Structured grid classes for use in physical simulations and geometrical modeling.

This module provides the primary grid abstractions used throughout the Pisces Geometry library. These grids define the structure of the computational domain and are used to evaluate differential operators, store field data, and perform numerical computations.

Features#

  • Ghost zone support for stencil-based operations and boundary condition handling.

  • Chunking interface for domain decomposition and out-of-core or parallel computations.

  • Support for serialization to/from HDF5, including coordinate system metadata.

  • Interoperable with Pisces Geometry coordinate systems and field abstractions.

Notes

This module is a core component of the Pisces Geometry ecosystem and is intended to be subclassed or extended for use in PDE solvers, mesh-based numerical methods, and physical field representations.

Classes

GenericGrid(coordinate_system, coordinates, /)

Generic coordinate grid with arbitrary, non-uniform spacing.

UniformGrid(coordinate_system, bounding_box, ...)

Structured grid with uniform spacing along each axis.
