Ray tracing ocean waves
This library uses ode_solvers, netcdf3, nalgebra, and thiserror.
As of 2023-08-10, the library contains a module ray.rs that has a struct
SingleRay. SingleRay has a method trace_individual to create a WaveRayPath, perform ode_solvers
Runge-Kutta4 algorithm, and return the result. This lib.rs module contains a WaveRayPath
struct that contains either a ConstantDepth, ArrayDepth, or CartesianFile.
The struct implements the ode_solvers system method, which is defined with
the helper function odes. The odes function uses the group_velocity,
gradient, and dk_vector_dt to calculate the derivatives at the current
state. The Rk4 is used similar to the
examples.
There is also a file output_to_file, which runs the Rk4, then saves the output to a file. There is a folder named support that contains the python file plot_ode_solvers, which plots a single ray. This will also contain a plotting tool for many rays in the future.
This only does one ray at the moment and verified for constant depth waves, but in the future, it will include variable depth, ray bundles, and current.
