UnderWorld is a
StGermain parallel modelling framework Geoscience research code, which utilises a Lagrangian particle-in-cell finite element scheme (the prototype of which is the Ellipsis code), visualised using
gLucifer.
UnderWorld and
gLucifer (Monash University) are under development as part of the
AuScope nation-wide Geosciences infrastructure program.
(Formerly it was a project as part of the Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator
(ACcESS) MNRF).
Further details about the capabilities of
UnderWorld can be found at the
UnderWorld homepage.
See
UnderworldFAQ for frequently asked questions. For those developing
UnderWorld or interested in tracking features in development, check out the
Underworld Issue and Bug Tracking Trac.
gLucifer is a general visualization framework which can be used by
StGermain,
UnderWorld, and almost any grid based computational models.
gLucifer provides a visual analysis toolkit for models and geological data.
gLucifer provides both interactive and background rendering but concentrates on the latter for rendering frames of computationally intense, remotely running applications (i.e. generates 4-D streaming movies while the calculation is running).
Note the g is almost silent, or at most spoken very quietly.
gLucifer will be downloaded when you download
UnderWorld, as its visualisation toolkit. Like any other visualisation tool,
gLucifer needs a few graphic libraries to be able to run. Details regarding installing these libraries can be found under the
Visualisation Software / Multimedia Output section of the UnderworldDependencies page.
Further details about the capabilities of
gLucifer can be found at the
gLucifer homepage. See
GLuciferFAQ for frequently asked questions.
Interactive inversion version of NIMROD/o - see
IntelligentModelingNetworkProposal and
the Aeon web for a discussion of the research area which drives this application development.
A prototype particle-in-cell, Cartesian finite element code for geodynamics. Developed from the
CitcomCode by
LouisMoresi while at
CSIRO, and extended by various groups including the University of Sydney
Geoscience group.
Current status: 2D - final stages.
A 2D/3D multigrid, Cartesian, Eulerian finite element code for mantle convection. Developed by
LouisMoresi while at
Caltech and subsequently extended by numerous groups (Spherical versions etc). See
http://www.geodynamics.org
Current status: Frozen Cartesian version available from
LouisMoresi. Other versions see the relevant authors.
