aragog.solver

The aragog.solver package contains the time-integration driver, the per-RHS state container, the boundary-condition handler, and the output dataclass.

The public surface re-exported from aragog.solver is:

Name Role
EntropySolver The ODE driver. Owns the integrator dispatch (Radau / BDF / CVODE), the nondimensionalisation layer, the retry-ladder hooks, and the SolverOutput post-processing.
EntropyState Per-RHS state container. Computes phase, density, \(T\), \(c_p\), \(\alpha\), \(k\), the four flux contributions, and the internal heating at each call.
BoundaryConditions Surface (grey-body, UTBL, prescribed flux/T) and inner (core cooling, prescribed flux/T) BC dispatch.
SolverOutput Dataclass returned by EntropySolver.get_state(). Carries the staggered-node profiles, basic-node fluxes, scalar diagnostics, the per-call energy integrals (step_dE_F_int_J, step_dE_F_cmb_J, step_dE_Q_radio_J, step_dE_Q_tidal_J, plus frozen-mass step_dE_Q_radio_cons_J/step_dE_Q_tidal_cons_J and the entropy-ODE solver residual step_solver_residual_J), the conservation-grade integrated mantle enthalpy E_state_cons (frozen-mass), and the integration status flag. See Energy diagnostics for the conservation-residual interpretation.
SECS_PER_YEAR Module-level constant scipy.constants.Julian_year (\(31{,}557{,}600\) s). The ODE is integrated in years; converting flux divergence (J/kg/K/s) to per-year requires this factor.

core_cooling(state)

Applies a core cooling heat flux according to Eq. (37) of Bower et al., 2018.

The core is modelled as a well-mixed reservoir with an effective temperature T_core = tfac_core_avg * T_cmb. The factor tfac_core_avg accounts for the adiabatic temperature gradient within the core (mass-weighted average core temperature / CMB temperature). Default 1.147 is for Earth-like parameters (Bower+2018, Table 2).

Parameters:

grey_body(state)

Applies a grey body flux at the surface.

When param_utbl is enabled, the surface radiating temperature is reduced to account for the ultra-thin thermal boundary layer at the magma ocean surface. The temperature drop across this unresolved boundary layer is parameterized as dT = b * T_surf^3 (Bower et al. 2018, Eq. 18), giving the cubic relation T_interior = T_surf + b * T_surf^3. The analytical solution (Cardano's formula) gives T_surf < T_interior.

entropy_staggered property

Entropy at staggered nodes from the solution.

For bower2018 and energy_balance modes the solver state vector is N+1 in length; we strip the trailing extra row and return only the entropy block. For gradient mode, we reconstruct S from the gradient state.

solution property

Last solve_ivp result, or None if solve() has not been called yet. Returning None (instead of raising AttributeError) matters for the PROTEUS JAX dispatch path, where AragogJAXRunner handles the actual integration and the scipy EntropySolver lives only to hold Parameters / BC state โ€” its solve() is never invoked, so _solution is never set. Callers already handle sol is None.

temperature_staggered property

Temperature at staggered nodes (derived from S via EOS).

dSdt(time, state_vec)

Time derivative of the full state vector.

For the bower2018 core BC the state vector is [S_0, ..., S_{N-1}, T_core] of length N+1, and this returns [dS/dt, dT_core/dt] of the same length.

For the quasi_steady BC the state vector is just [S_0, ..., S_{N-1}] of length N.

The integrator passes vectorized=False; this RHS handles the 1D path only.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
time float

Time [yr].

required
state_vec array

Solver state vector [J/kg/K for entropy, K for T_core]. Shape (N,) or (N+1,) only.

required

Returns:

Return the most recent CMB entropy gradient from the solver state.

Reads self._solution.y[n_stag, -1] (the final dSdr_cmb from the last accepted solve). Returns None when no solution exists yet, or when the state vector lacks the dSdr_cmb slot (core_bc other than energy_balance).

Used by PROTEUS's retry ladder to snapshot the pre-solve dSdr_cmb before a sequence of retry attempts and restore it on each retry, breaking the positive-feedback loop where a rejected attempt's final dSdr_cmb would otherwise become the next retry's hot-start IC and drive the boundary state further from the pre-solve value each time.

    Pass ``None`` to clear a previously-set override, restoring

set_initial_entropy(S_init)

Set the initial entropy profile and (if used) initial T_core.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
S_init array or float

Entropy at staggered nodes [J/kg/K]. If scalar, sets uniform (isentropic) profile.

required
Notes

State vector length depends on the active core BC mode: quasi_steady uses length N; energy_balance and bower2018 use length N+1 (entropy block plus one extra state variable: dSdr_cmb or T_core respectively); gradient uses length N+2. For the bower2018 mode the initial T_core is taken from the bottom-cell mantle temperature derived from S_init via the EOS unless set_initial_core_temperature has been called first.

The factory is called inside solve() when use_jax_jacobian is enabled in the config. It is given the current nondim scaling spec (NonDimScales) and core-BC mode and must return the (rhs_fn, jac_fn) pair accepted by scikits.odes CVODE.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
factory callable

factory(scales, core_bc_mode) -> (rhs_fn, jac_fn) where scales is an aragog.jax.nondim.NonDimScales instance. May be None to disable the Option Z path even if the flag is on.

Destination NetCDF4 file (overwrites if it exists).

required
time float

Simulation time at which this snapshot was taken [yr]. Defaults to SolverOutput.dt_actual if omitted.

None
description str

Free-form description string written as the dataset's description global attribute.

None

Stores and updates the thermodynamic state using entropy.

The key difference from State: the prognostic variable is S(r,t), not T(r,t). All properties are looked up from (P, S) via the EntropyPhaseEvaluator. Convective transport is driven by dS/dr (entropy gradient), not by the superadiabatic T gradient.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
evaluator Evaluator

Contains mesh and boundary conditions.

required
phase EntropyPhaseEvaluator

Entropy-based phase evaluator with (P,S) lookups.

required
settings dict

Energy settings (conduction, convection, mixing, etc.)

Complete output from one EntropySolver integration step.

This dataclass is the public contract between Aragog and PROTEUS. All quantities needed by the coupling wrapper are included here, so callers never need to reach into solver internals.

to_netcdf(path, *, time=None, description='Aragog SolverOutput snapshot')

Write this solver snapshot to a NetCDF4 file.

Produces a self-contained file that captures the full SolverOutput dataclass: scalar diagnostics, staggered-node profiles (entropy, temperature, melt fraction, density, viscosity, ...), basic-node profiles (heat flux, per-component flux decomposition, ...), and run-level metadata (Aragog version, optional simulation time, status code). All fields carry CF-style units and long_name attributes so the file is interpretable without consulting the source.

Designed for the standalone solver path: a script that builds an EntropySolver, runs solve(), and wants a portable record of the final state. PROTEUS-coupled runs do not use this; they assemble their own per-iteration helpfile rows on the wrapper side. The two writers are independent on purpose so the standalone schema can evolve without breaking PROTEUS.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path str or Path

Destination NetCDF4 file. Overwrites if the file exists.

required
time float

Simulation time at which this snapshot was taken [yr]. Stored as the scalar time variable; defaults to the integrated step duration dt_actual if not supplied (the standalone solver does not carry an absolute clock).

None
description str

Free-form description string written to the dataset's description global attribute.

'Aragog SolverOutput snapshot'
Notes
  • Uses netCDF4 directly (already a hard dependency); no xarray import to keep startup lean.
  • All array fields are written as f8 (float64). The integer status field is stored as i4.
  • Reading back: netCDF4.Dataset(path) or xarray.open_dataset(path) both work; the file follows the CF-1.8 attribute convention.
