Algorithm#

class Algorithm(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Generic class to define the foundation of Algorithms

Parameters:

network (dict) – An OpenPNM Network object, which is a subclass of a dict

Attributes:
Np

Shortcut to retrieve the number of pores in the domain

Nt

Shortcut to retrieve the number of throats in the domain

Ps

Shortcut to retrieve the indices of all pores

Ts

Shortcut to retrieve the indices of all throats

iterative_props

Finds and returns properties that need to be iterated while running the algorithm.

name
network

Shortcut to retrieve a handle to the network object associated with the

params

This attribute stores ‘scalar’ data that can be used by pore-scale models.

Methods

clear_BCs([bctype])

Clear all BCs of the given type(s)

filter_by_label([pores, throats, labels, mode])

Returns which of the supplied pores (or throats) has the specified label(s)

get_conduit_data(propname)

Fetches an Nt-by-3 array of the requested property

interpolate_data(propname[, mode])

Generates an array of the requested pore/throat data by interpolating the neighboring throat/pore data.

labels([pores, throats, element, mode])

Returns a list of labels present on the object

num_pores([labels, mode])

Returns the number of pores of the specified labels

num_throats([labels, mode])

Return the number of throats of the specified labels

pores([labels, mode, asmask])

Returns pore indicies where given labels exist, according to the logic specified by the mode argument.

props([element])

Retrieves a list of keys that contain numerical data (i.e. "properties").

set_BC([pores, bctype, bcvalues, mode])

The main method for setting and adjusting boundary conditions.

set_label(label[, pores, throats, mode])

Creates or updates a label array

throats([labels, mode, asmask])

Returns throat locations where given labels exist, according to the logic specified by the mode argument.

to_indices(mask)

Converts a boolean mask to pore or throat indices

to_mask([pores, throats])

Generates a boolean mask with True values in the given locations
