PARAMOUNT: parallel modal analysis of large datasets
PARAMOUNT is a python package developed at University of Twente to perform modal analysis of large numerical and experimental datasets. Brief video introduction into the theory and methodology is presented here.
Features
- Distributed processing of data on local machines or clusters using Dask Distributed
- Reading CSV files in glob format from specified folders
- Extracting relevant columns from CSV files and writing Parquet database for each specified variable
- Distributed computation of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD)
- Writing U, S and V matrices into Parquet database for further analysis
- Visualizing POD modes and coefficients using pyplot
Using PARAMOUNT
Make sure to install the dependencies by running `pip install -r requirements.txt`
Refer to csv_example to see how to use PARAMOUNT to read CSV files, write the variables of interest into Parquet datasets and inspect the final datasets.
Refer to svd_example to see how to read Parquet datasets, compute the Singular Value Decomposition, and store the results in Parquet format.
To visualize the results you can simply read the U, S and V parquet files and your plotting tool of choice. Examples are provided in viz_example.
