singularity-opac

Performance Portable Opacity and Emissivity library for simulation codes

API

singularity-opac provides a uniform API for all opacity models. The following functions are provided (here, \sigma is the frequency- and angle-dependent cross section in units of cm^2):

Function	Expression	Description	Units
AbsorptionCoefficient	n \sigma	Absorption coefficient	cm^{-1}
AngleAveragedAbsorptionCoefficient	\frac{1}{4 \pi}\int n \sigma d\Omega	Absorption coefficient averaged over solid angle	cm^{-1}
EmissivityPerNuOmega	j_{\nu} = \frac{dE}{d^3x dt d\Omega d\nu}	Frequency- and angle-dependent emissivity	erg cm^{-3} s^{-1} Sr^{-1} Hz^{-1}
EmissivityPerNu	\int j_{\nu} d\Omega	Frequency-dependent emissivity	erg cm^{-3} s^{-1} Hz^{-1}
Emissivity	\int j_{\nu} d\nu d\Omega	Total emissivity	erg cm^{-3} s^{-1}
NumberEmissivity	\int \frac{1}{h \nu} j_{\nu} d\Omega d\nu	Total number emissivity	cm^{-3} s^{-1}
ThermalDistributionOfTNu	B_{\nu} = \frac{dE}{dA dt d\Omega d\nu}	Specific intensity of thermal distribution	erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} Sr^{-1} Hz^{-1}
DThermalDistributionOfTNuDT	dB_{\nu}/dT	Temperature derivative of specific intensity of thermal distribution	erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} Sr^{-1} Hz^{-1} K^{-1}
ThermalDistributionOfT	B = \int B_{\nu} d\Omega d\nu	Frequency- and angle-integrated intensity of thermal distribution	erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}
ThermalNumberDistributionOfT	B = \int \frac{1}{h \nu} B_{\nu} d\Omega d\nu	Frequency- and angle-integrated intensity of thermal distribution	erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}

Note that the thermal radiation energy density u = 1/c ThermalDistributionOfT and the thermal radiation number density n = 1/c ThermalNumberDistributionOfT.

Internally singularity-opac always uses CGS units, as in the above table. However, arbitrary units are supported through the units modifier.

To Build

At its most basic:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:lanl/singularity-opac.git
cd singularity-opac
mkdir bin
cd bin
cmake ..
make

To Make tests

Then, in the singularity-opac root directory:

mkdir -p bin
cd bin
cmake -DSINGULARITY_BUILD_TESTS=ON ..
make -j
make test

Build Options

A number of options are avaialable for compiling:

Option	Default	Comment
SINGULARITY_BUILD_TESTS	OFF	Build test infrastructure.
SINGULARITY_USE_HDF5	ON	Enables HDF5. Required for Spiner opacities.
