Limace.jl: A Julia package to compute hydromagnetic modes in spherical domains

Hydromagnetic modes in spherical domains are relevant to the liquid cores of planets, moons or stars, as well as rotating fluid dynamics experiments.These modes are solutions to the linearized rotating magnetohydrodynamic equations that govern electrically conducting fluids under rapid rotation.Limace.jl is a package written in the Julia programming language (Bezanson et al., 2017), based on Galerkin projections of the governing equations onto trial vectors of the velocity and magnetic field.It aims to facilitate the calculation of modes in flexible setups with a high-level interface, whilst remaining computationally performant enough to tackle relevant physical parameters.

Abstract

Hydromagnetic modes in spherical domains are relevant to the liquid cores of planets, moons or stars, as well as rotating fluid dynamics experiments.These modes are solutions to the linearized rotating magnetohydrodynamic equations that govern electrically conducting fluids under rapid rotation.Limace.jl is a package written in the Julia programming language (Bezanson et al., 2017), based on Galerkin projections of the governing equations onto trial vectors of the velocity and magnetic field.It aims to facilitate the calculation of modes in flexible setups with a high-level interface, whilst remaining computationally performant enough to tackle relevant physical parameters.
