Description

Calypso is a set of codes for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) dynamo simulation in a rotating spherical shell using spherical harmonics expansion methods.

  • Solve MHD equations in a rotating spherical shell
  • Treat conductive fluid with Boussinesq approximation
  • Inner core can have the same conductivity as that for the fluid core
  • Inner core can rotate by viscous torque and Lorentz force
  • Support thermal and compositional buoyancies
  • Thermal and compositional diffusivity can set independently
  • Heterogeneous thermal boundary condition is supported
  • Parallelized by MPI and OpenMP
  • Visualization output for arbitrary quadric surface (e.g. plane, cylinder, or sphere) and isosurfaces
