Veros, the versatile ocean simulator, aims to be the swiss army knife of ocean modeling. It is a full-fledged GCM that supports anything between highly idealized configurations and realistic set-ups, targeting students and seasoned researchers alike. Thanks to its seamless interplay with Bohrium, Veros runs efficiently on your laptop, gaming PC (with experimental GPU support through OpenCL & CUDA), and small cluster. Veros has a clear focus on simplicity, usability, and adaptability - because the Baroque is over.
If you want to learn more about the background and capabilities of Veros, you should check out A short introduction to Veros. If you are already convinced, you can jump right into action, and learn how to get started instead!
Veros supports both a NumPy backend for small-scale problems and a fully parallelized high-performance backend powered by Bohrium using either OpenMP (CPU) or OpenCL (GPU). The underlying numerics are based on pyOM2, an ocean model developed by Carsten Eden (Institut für Meereskunde, Hamburg University).
Veros is currently being developed at Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University.
The features include:
- a fully staggered 3-D grid geometry (C-grid)
- support for both idealized and realistic configurations in Cartesian or pseudo-spherical coordinates
- several friction and advection schemes to choose from
- isoneutral mixing, eddy-kinetic energy, turbulent kinetic energy, and internal wave energy parameterizations
- several pre-implemented diagnostics such as energy fluxes, variable time averages, and a vertical overturning stream function (written to netCDF output)
- pre-configured idealized and realistic set-ups that are ready to run and easy to adapt
- accessibility, readability, and extensibility - thanks to the power of Python!
