Description
BurnMan is an open source mineral physics toolbox written in Python to determine seismic velocities for the lower mantle. BurnMan calculates the isotropic thermoelastic moduli by solving the equations-of-state for a mixture of minerals defined by the user. The user may select from a list of minerals applicable to the lower mantle included or easily define one of their own.
Features:
- major documentation overhaul
- new tutorials
- huge performance improvements by caching property values
- python 3 compatibility
- gibbs free energy computation
- new SolidSolution class
- added ideal, symmetric, asymmetric and subregular solution model formulations
- computation of chemical potentials
- updated ipython notebooks
- new seismic models
- added EoS fitting functions
- using jit compilation if available
- additional equations of state: Vinet, BM4, ...
- a large number of new minerals in the databases
- much better test coverage
