# Mantis

Mantis is a server application that simulates within seconds multicentury goundwater contaminant transport from diffuse pollution sources.

A detailed discussion about the concepts of Mantis and our Non Point Source Assessment Toolbox (NPSAT) can be found on the paper

Kourakos, G., F.Klein, A.Cortis, and T.Harter (2012), A groundwater nonpoint source pollution modeling framework to evaluate long-term dynamics of pollutant exceedance probabilities in wells and other discharge locations, Water Resour. Res., 48, W00L13, doi:10.1029/2011WR010813

# How to use Mantis

To use Mantis one need to prepare a large number of data. The wiki is the best source to obtain information about that.

Once the initialization data are properly setup one can launch the server with the following command

MantisServer.exe -c config_file


where config_file is the configurationinitialization file of the server. Details about the file can be found here.

Other flags the the server supports are:

MantisServer.exe -h


To obtain a list of options execute the following and

MantisServer.exe -v


to get the current version number.

The Server does nothing until it receives an input message.

The input message triggers the simulation and the server replies with an output message.

The easiest way to run the simulations is via the web interface. However it may be usefull if one for example wants to run in batch mode multiple simulations to use a local server. To make it easier to communicate with a local server we provide a client program that can send/receive message to/from server.

A windows executable is available under BIN. To run this download the *.exe and all dlls in the same folder and make sure antivirus is not blocking it.

For linux and windows one can build it by using the cmake for configuring with the following options:

cmake \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=path\to\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake \
-DUSEHF=True


The flag USEHF enable or disable the HDF5 loading functionality.

# Mantis Client

The MantisClient utility program can be found under BIN. It is used to send messages to the server and receive the replies. If the messages are valid it prints them into a file so that can be read by other programs for further analysis/validation.

## Build client.

The TestClient program requires only boost library. Under the directory CPP/TestClient/TestClient there is the CMakeLIsts.txt file.

### Spack

First, if you use spack load the correct environment. (TEST is the name of the environment where I built all the libraries for Mantis. It would make more sence to name this environment MANTIS for example)

e.g

spack env activate TEST


Make sure you are under the CPP/TestClient/TestClient directory. Then do

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..


If there is a system default installation of boost but cmake picks the default instead of the one that comes under the spack environment then do the following

cmake -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=TRUE \
-DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=TRUE \
-DBOOST_ROOT:PATHNAME=/path/to/spack/var/spack/environments/myenv/.spack-env/view/ ..


### Vcpkg

The workflow is the same with vcpkg the difference is the cmake configuration

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ..


If everything is succesfull then run

make


to build the program

### Run Client

1. Default

./MantisClient


Running the client without inputs will send a default scenario to the server and receive the output. The outputs are also printed in the file testClientResults.dat

2. Using incoming message

./MantisClient incomingMsg_v1.dat outputfile.dat


where the incomingMsg.dat is a file with the incoming message. The file can be split into multiple lines for readability and the MantisClient will read and reshape the message and send it to the server as one line.

3. Stop server Simply send

./MantisClient quit
