C implementation of 2D Beris-Edwards nematodynamics with activity patterns, as conducted in Zhang et. al.'s paper "Logic operations with active topological defects".
This code is an extension of the wonderful nematodynamics tutorial provided by Ziga Kos and Miha Ravnik.
Using a Python virtual environment is recommending for managing dependencies for plotting. After creating a venv environment (simply called venv below), run these commands to install the Python dependencies:
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
This command will compile the simulation, run it, and produce two GIFs (one for the velocity field, one for the director field) visualizing the simulation output.
./run_all.sh
The cuda branch provides a CUDA implementation compiled with nvcc that is much faster than the CPU-only OpenMP master branch. The same ./run_all.sh script is used to run it.
