ASPECT Notebook

This is a demonstration notebook to show how to run ASPECT in a Jupyter notebook within a docker container. Instructions have been verified using the docker image tjhei/aspect-jupyter. Alternatively, with modifications you should be able to run this on a native install.

This notebook has been developed using:

• Python 3.5.3
• IPython 4.0.3
• Jupyter 5.0
• Jupyter widget extension (see Appendix B)
• matplotlib
• numpy
• tables
• docker (optional) To complete all exercises, you will also need:
• ParaView

By completing this notebook, you will learn how to:

• Run ASPECT from the command line within a notebook environment.
• Understand the basic layout of a .prm file used to control ASPECT simulations.
• Plot simple output statistics and create files that are viewable in ParaView (and Visit).
• Explore the Nusselt-Rayleigh number relationship.

ASPECT is an open source community project. As such, we encourage contributions from the community to improve this code over time.

Lead Developers: Wolfgang Bangerth, Timo Heister, Rene Gassmöller, and Juliane Dannberg

Notebook Authors: Lorraine J. Hwang and Ian Rose with tutorial material from Juliane Dannberg
