Codes


The PARODY-JA MHD simulation code


PARODY-JA is a branching of the PARODY numerical code originally developed by Emmanuel Dormy and myself to simulate Boussinesq convection and magnetic induction in a rotating spherical shell. Since 2006 I have been steadily developing PARODY-JA to make it one of the fastest codes available (see above) for this type of problem. The code can be obtained upon request.


Dynamical magnetic field line imaging (DMFI)


DMFI is a numerical visualization algorithm written by J. Aubert, designed to track magnetic field lines in MHD numerical simulations. DMFI is described in 


Aubert, Aurnou, Wicht: The magnetic structure of convection-driven numerical dynamos, Geophys. J. Int. 172, 945-956, 2008, doi: 10.1111/j.1365-246X.2007.03693.x.


You can download the MATLAB source code of DMFI by following this link.

are available for download. The file format is as follows: the first column is the epoch, and the rest of each line describes the Gauss coefficients ordered in IGRF-format (increasing spherical harmonic degree first, see this reference for a description of Gauss coefficients and the IGRF format). These coefficients can be used freely - please quote Aubert 2015 (above) when using this data.
