jax_lab.core.base.LBMBase
Bases: object
Base class for lattice Boltzmann simulations.
Parameters
lattice (Lattice): Lattice structure and weights.
omega (float): Relaxation parameter.
nx, ny (int): Grid points in the x and y directions.
nz (int): Grid points in the z direction. Use 0 for two-dimensional simulations.
precision (str): Compute/storage precision policy, such as "f32/f32".
checkpoint_rate (int, optional): Timesteps between checkpoints. Defaults to 0, which disables checkpointing.
checkpoint_dir (str, optional): Checkpoint directory. Defaults to "./checkpoints".
downsampling_factor (int, optional): Spatial output downsampling factor. Defaults to 1.
print_info_rate (int, optional): Timesteps between progress messages. Defaults to 100.
io_rate (int, optional): Timesteps between output operations. Defaults to 0, which disables output.
return_fpost (bool, optional): Whether simulation steps return post-collision populations. Defaults to False.
compute_MLUPS (bool, optional): Whether to run in performance-measurement mode. Defaults to False.
restore_checkpoint (bool, optional): Whether to restore the latest checkpoint. Defaults to False.
async_io (bool, optional): Run output_data on a background thread so compute continues while files are written. Each output frame is copied to the host first. Defaults to True; False calls output_data synchronously.
io_queue_size (int, optional): Output frames that may wait to be written before the simulation pauses for the writer. Defaults to 2.
io_populations (bool, optional): With async_io, also copy the population arrays passed to output_data to the host. Defaults to False, since they are q times larger than a scalar field.

apply_bc
This function applies the boundary conditions to the distribution functions.
It iterates over all boundary conditions (BCs) and checks if the implementation step of the boundary condition matches the provided implementation step. If it does, it applies the boundary condition to the post-streaming distribution functions (fout).
Full-way BounceBack, every wall boundary condition in WALL_BC_TYPES (BounceBackHalfway, InterpolatedBounceBackBouzidi, InterpolatedBounceBackDifferentiable), EquilibriumBC, and every inlet/ outlet boundary condition in INLET_OUTLET_BC_TYPES (ZouHe, Regularized) are handled separately, in batched calls using local (per-shard, int32) indices, instead of the generic per-BC global-index loop. ExtrapolationOutflow/ConvectiveOutflow/ExtrapolationOutflowMultiphase are not: they read a neighbor node offset from the boundary (not just their own node), which the wall/inlet-outlet local kernels don’t support.
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Post-collision distribution functions.
fin (jax.numpy.ndarray): Post-streaming distribution functions.
timestep (int): Current simulation timestep, used by dynamic boundary conditions.
implementation_step (str): Implementation step at which the boundary conditions should be applied.
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): The output distribution functions after applying the boundary conditions.

apply_force
add force based on exact-difference method due to Kupershtokh
Computes delta_feq = feq(rho, u + du) - feq(rho, u) directly from cu, dcu and delta_usqr instead of building a second full equilibrium distribution and subtracting feq from it. Lattice-generic: works for any lattice this class supports (D2Q9, D3Q19, D3Q27), since it only uses self.c/self.w.
Parameters
f_postcollision (jax.numpy.ndarray): Post-collision distribution functions.
feq (jax.numpy.ndarray): Equilibrium distribution functions. Unused - kept for interface compatibility with existing callers, since the compact difference formula only needs rho, u and the force.
rho (jax.numpy.ndarray): Density field.
u (jax.numpy.ndarray): Velocity field.
Returns
f_postcollision (jax.numpy.ndarray): Post-collision distribution functions with the force applied.

assign_fields_sharded
This function is used to initialize the simulation by assigning the macroscopic fields and populations.
The function first initializes the macroscopic fields, which are the density (rho0) and velocity (u0). Depending on the dimension of the simulation (2D or 3D), it then sets the shape of the array that will hold the distribution functions (f).
If the density or velocity are not provided, the function initializes the distribution functions with a default value (self.w), representing density=1 and velocity=0. Otherwise, it uses the provided density and velocity to initialize the populations.
Returns
f: a distributed JAX array of shape (nx, ny, nz, q) or (nx, ny, q) holding the distribution functions for the simulation.

Source code in jax_lab/core/base.py
local_bounceback_m
Apply full-way bounce-back using local (per-shard, int32) solid indices instead of the global index list baked into every device’s compiled program. Dimension-generic: works for 2D and 3D since the index tuple length is derived from self.dim.
Padded index rows point one position outside the local shard (see _collect_bounceback_indices), so out-of-shard reads return 0.0 (mode=”fill”) and out-of-shard writes are dropped (mode=”drop”), making the padding a safe no-op.
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-collision distribution functions.
fin (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the pre-collision distribution functions.
local_indices (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded solid-node indices, shape (1, n_local, dim).
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of fout with bounce-back applied at the solid nodes.
Source code in jax_lab/core/base.py
local_equilibrium_bc_m
Apply EquilibriumBC using local (per-shard, int32) fluid-node indices and the precomputed per-node equilibrium values, instead of the global index list baked into every device’s compiled program. EquilibriumBC.apply ignores its fout/fin arguments (it just returns a precomputed constant per node), so this is a pure scatter with no gather needed.
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-streaming distribution functions.
local_indices (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded fluid-node indices, shape (1, n_local, dim).
local_out (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded precomputed equilibrium values, shape (1, n_local, q).
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of fout with the equilibrium values set at the fluid nodes.
Source code in jax_lab/core/base.py
local_inlet_bc_m
local_inlet_bc_m(fout, local_indices, local_normals, local_imiddle_mask, local_iknown_mask, local_imissing, local_iknown, local_prescribed, apply_fn)
Apply a ZouHe/Regularized inlet-outlet boundary condition (see INLET_OUTLET_BC_TYPES) using local (per-shard, int32) fluid-node indices and aligned auxiliary data, instead of the global index/mask/ prescribed arrays baked into every device’s compiled program. Unlike wall boundary conditions, these only read/write the node’s own post-streaming populations (no fin/streaming-neighbor data), so a single fout argument suffices. Dimension-generic. apply_fn is a static (non-traced) Python callable, bound via functools.partial before this body is wrapped in shard_map (see _build_local_inlet_outlet_kernels).
Padded index rows point one position outside the local shard, so out-of-shard reads return 0.0 (mode=”fill”) and out-of-shard writes are dropped (mode=”drop”); the padded rows of the auxiliary arrays are zero-filled, which is a safe no-op input for that padding.
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-streaming distribution functions.
local_indices (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded fluid-node indices, shape (1, n_local, dim).
local_normals (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded boundary normals, shape (1, n_local, dim).
local_imiddle_mask, local_iknown_mask (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded middle/known direction boolean masks, shape (1, n_local, q).
local_imissing, local_iknown (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded missing/known direction indices, shape (1, n_local, q).
local_prescribed (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded prescribed values (velocity or density), shape (1, n_local, dim) or (1, n_local, 1).
apply_fn (callable): One of _zouhe_velocity_math, _zouhe_pressure_math, _regularized_velocity_math, _regularized_pressure_math.
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of fout with the inlet/outlet boundary condition applied at the fluid nodes.
Source code in jax_lab/core/base.py
local_solid_pin_m
Pin local (per-shard, int32) solid-node populations to the rest equilibrium after streaming, using local indices instead of the global solid-index list baked into every device’s compiled program (see BounceBackHalfway.prepare_populations).
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-streaming distribution functions.
local_indices (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded solid-node indices, shape (1, n_local, dim).
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of fout with solid nodes pinned to the rest equilibrium.
Source code in jax_lab/core/base.py
local_wall_bc_m
local_wall_bc_m(fout, fin, local_indices, local_imissing, local_iknown, local_vel, local_weights, apply_fn)
Apply a wall boundary condition (see WALL_BC_TYPES) using local (per-shard, int32) fluid-node indices and aligned auxiliary data, instead of the global index/imissing/iknown/weights arrays baked into every device’s compiled program. Dimension-generic. apply_fn is a static (non-traced) Python callable, bound via functools.partial before this body is wrapped in shard_map, so it selects the compiled formula without adding a traced argument (see _build_local_wall_kernel).
Padded index rows point one position outside the local shard, so out-of-shard reads return 0.0 (mode=”fill”) and out-of-shard writes are dropped (mode=”drop”); the padded rows of local_imissing, local_iknown, local_vel and local_weights are zero-filled, which is a safe no-op input for that padding.
Parameters
fout (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-streaming distribution functions.
fin (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of the post-collision distribution functions.
local_indices (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded fluid-node indices, shape (1, n_local, dim).
local_imissing, local_iknown (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded missing/known direction indices, shape (1, n_local, q).
local_vel (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded prescribed velocities, shape (1, n_local, dim).
local_weights (jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of padded interpolation weights, shape (1, n_local, q). Unused when apply_fn ignores it (see WALL_BC_TYPES), but always present for a uniform signature.
apply_fn (callable): One of _halfway_wall_math, _bouzidi_wall_math, _differentiable_wall_math.
Returns
(jax.numpy.ndarray): Local shard of fout with the wall boundary condition applied at the fluid nodes.
