Each link has a tail and head node. The tail nodes are located at the start of a link, while the head nodes are located at end of a link.

Below, the numbering scheme for links in RasterModelGrid is illustrated with an example of a four-row by five column grid (4x5). In this example, each * (or X) is a node, the lines represent links, and the ^ and > symbols indicate the direction and head of each link. Link heads in the RasterModelGrid always point in the cardinal directions North (N) or East (E).:

 *--27-->*--28-->*--29-->*--30-->*
 ^       ^       ^       ^       ^
22      23      24      25      26
 |       |       |       |       |
 *--18-->*--19-->*--20-->*--21-->*
 ^       ^       ^       ^       ^
 13      14      15      16     17
 |       |       |       |       |
 *---9-->*--10-->X--11-->*--12-->*
 ^       ^       ^       ^       ^
 4       5       6       7       8
 |       |       |       |       |
 *--0--->*---1-->*--2--->*---3-->*

For example, node X has four link-neighbors. From south and going clockwise, these neighbors are [6, 10, 15, 11]. Both link 6 and link 10 have node X as their head node, while links 15 and 11 have node X as their tail node.

>>> int(theta * 1000)
785

Map the largest magnitude of the links carrying flux from the node to the node.

map_downwind_node_link_max_to_node iterates across the grid and identifies the link values at each link connected to a node. It then uses the link_dirs_at_node data structure to identify links carrying flux out of the node, then maps the maximum magnitude of ‘var_name’ found on these links onto the node. If no downwind link is found, the value will be recorded as zero.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

Return type:

Map the mean magnitude of the links carrying flux out of the node to the node.

map_downwind_node_link_mean_to_node iterates across the grid and identifies the link values at each link connected to a node. It then uses the link_dirs_at_node data structure to identify links carrying flux out of the node, then maps the mean magnitude of ‘var_name’ found on these links onto the node. Links with zero values are not included in the means, and zeros are returned if no upwind links are found.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

Map values from a link head nodes to links.

Iterate over a grid and identify the node at the head. For each link, the value of var_name at the head node is mapped to the corresponding link.

In a RasterModelGrid, each one node has two adjacent “link heads”. This means each node value is mapped to two corresponding links.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

Return type:

ndarray

>>> rtn is values_at_links
True

Map values from a link tail nodes to links.

map_link_tail_node_to_link iterates across the grid and identifies the node at the “tail”, or the “from” node for each link. For each link, the value of ‘var_name’ at the “from” node is mapped to the corresponding link.

In a RasterModelGrid, each one node has two adjacent “link tails”. This means each node value is mapped to two corresponding links.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

Return type:

>>> vx, vy = grid.map_link_vector_components_to_node(link_data)
>>> vx[5:7]
array([ 7.5, 8.5])

>>> grid = HexModelGrid((3, 3))
>>> link_data = np.zeros(grid.number_of_links) + 0.5 * 3.0**0.5

>>> vy
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])

Map the vector sum of links around a patch to the patch.

The resulting vector is returned as a length-2 list, with the two items being arrays of the x component and the y component of the resolved vectors at the patches, respectively.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • ignore_inactive_links (bool) – If True, do not incorporate inactive links into calc. If all links are inactive at a patch, record zero if out is None or leave the existing value if out.

  • out (len-2 list of npatches-long arrays, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

[x_component_of_link_vals_at_patch, y_component_of_link_vals_at_patch].

Return type:

len-2 list of arrays

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.grid.mappers import map_link_vector_sum_to_patch
>>> from landlab import HexModelGrid

>>> mg = HexModelGrid((4, 3))
>>> interior_nodes = mg.status_at_node == mg.BC_NODE_IS_CORE
>>> exterior_nodes = mg.status_at_node != mg.BC_NODE_IS_CORE

Add a ring of closed nodes at the edge:

>>> mg.status_at_node[exterior_nodes] = mg.BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED

This gives us 5 core nodes, 7 active links, and 3 present patches

>>> (mg.number_of_core_nodes == 5 and mg.number_of_active_links == 7)
True
>>> A = mg.add_ones("vals", at="link")
>>> A.fill(9.0)  # any old values on the inactive links
>>> A[mg.active_links] = np.array([1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0])

This setup should give present patch 0 pure east, patch 1 zero (vorticity), and patch 2 westwards and downwards components.

>>> xcomp, ycomp = map_link_vector_sum_to_patch(mg, "vals")
>>> xcomp, ycomp = np.round(xcomp, decimals=5), np.round(ycomp, decimals=5)
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[(6, 9, 10),], [2.0, 0.0, -1.0])
True
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[(6, 9, 10),] / np.sqrt(3.0), [0.0, 0.0, -1.0])
True

These are the patches with LinksStatus.INACTIVE on all three sides:

>>> absent_patches = np.array([0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18])
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
True
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
True

Now demonstrate the remaining functionality:

>>> A = mg.at_link["vals"].copy()
>>> A.fill(1.0)
>>> _ = map_link_vector_sum_to_patch(
...     mg, A, ignore_inactive_links=False, out=[xcomp, ycomp]
... )
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
False
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
False

Map the maximum of a link’s nodes to the link.

map_max_of_link_nodes_to_link iterates across the grid and identifies the node values at both the “head” and “tail” of a given link. This function evaluates the value of ‘var_name’ at both the “to” and “from” node. The maximum value of the two node values is then mapped to the link.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

map_min_of_link_nodes_to_link iterates across the grid and identifies the node values at both the “head” and “tail” of a given link. This function evaluates the value of ‘var_name’ at both the “to” and “from” node. The minimum value of the two node values is then mapped to the link.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

Return type:

Assign values to links using a weighted combination of node values.

Assign to each link a weighted combination of values v at nodes using the Lax-Wendroff method for upwind weighting.

c is a scalar or link vector that gives the link-parallel signed Courant number. Where c is positive, velocity is in the direction of the link; where negative, velocity is in the opposite direction.

As an example, consider 3x5 raster grid with the following values at the nodes in the central row:

0---1---2---3---4

Consider a uniform Courant value c = +0.2 at the horizontal links. The mapped link values should be:

.-0.4-.-1.4-.-2.4-.-3.4-.

Values at links when c = -0.2:

.-0.6-.-1.6-.-2.6-.-3.6-.
Parameters:

  • v ((n_nodes,) ndarray) – Values at grid nodes.

  • c (float or (n_links,) ndarray) – Courant number to use at links.

  • out ((n_links,) ndarray, optional) – If provided, place calculated values in this array. Otherwise, create a new array.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid

>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 5))
>>> grid.at_node["node_value"] = [
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
...     [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
... ]
>>> v = grid.at_node["node_value"]

>>> c = grid.add_zeros("courant_number", at="link")
>>> c[grid.horizontal_links] = 0.2

Set values for the middle row of horizontal links.

>>> val_at_link = grid.map_node_to_link_lax_wendroff(v, c)
>>> val_at_link[9:13]
array([ 0.4,  1.4,  2.4,  3.4])
>>> val_at_link = grid.map_node_to_link_lax_wendroff(v, -c)
>>> val_at_link[9:13]
array([ 0.6,  1.6,  2.6,  3.6])

Assign values to links from upstream nodes.

Assign to each link the value v associated with whichever of its two nodes lies upstream, according to link value u.

Consider a link k with tail node t(k) and head node t(h). Nodes have value v(n). We want to assign a value to links, v’(k). The assignment is:

v'(k) = v(t(k)) where u(k) > 0,
v'(k) = v(h(k)) where u(k) <= 0

As an example, consider 3x5 raster grid with the following values at the nodes in the central row:

0---1---2---3---4

Consider a uniform velocity value u = 1 at the horizontal links. The mapped link values should be:

.-0-.-1-.-2-.-3-.

If u < 0, the link values should be:

.-1-.-2-.-3-.-4-.
Parameters:

  • v ((n_nodes,), ndarray) – Values at grid nodes.

  • u ((n_links,) ndarray) – Values at grid links.

  • out ((n_links,) ndarray, optional) – If provided, place calculated values in this array. Otherwise, create a new array.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid

>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 5))
>>> grid.at_node["node_value"] = [
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],

...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
... ]
>>> v = grid.at_node["node_value"]

>>> u = grid.add_zeros("advection_speed", at="link")
>>> u[grid.horizontal_links] = 1.0

Set values for the middle row of horizontal links.

If no upwind link is found, the value will be recorded as zero.

Parameters:

  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Parameters:

  • control_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes that dictate which end of the link to draw values from.

  • value_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes from which values are drawn, based on control_name.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:
