Welcome to Python3 PLUTO’s documentation!

This package was written as part of the authors Master’s thesis project, focusing on data analysis of the HDF5 files that are exported during simulation from PLUTO (http://plutocode.ph.unito.it/code-overview.html)

The code was written as part of the author’s (M.I.Czentye) MPhys researh project to extend the methods used to analyse .h5 file output from PLUTO.

Current capability of the code is to analyse 2.5D and 3D datasets produced by solving the ideal MHD equations. The code consist of a Superclass and a subclass, that is focusing on the MHD attributes that the jets can have. Furthermore, current MHD properties are based on Ideal equation of state and ideal MHD interpritation of the problem thus working only within the boundaries of the ideal case, to be further expanded later on into more complex scenarios.

Background

The package was designed and initial versions developped during the author’s MPhys research project, to analyse and visualise the output of PLUTO h5 output files.
