This project is an internship project realized at Tecgraf PUC-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is based on Opendrift, a Python framework which allows simulations of oil drifting in the ocean (https://opendrift.github.io/index.html)

A module designed to:

• Run a large number of oil drift simulations
• Use YAML configuration files to define all simulation parameters
• Study the optimal time step for numerical integration
• Process simulation outputs and compute convergence criteria

Example on Windows OS:

py -m venv env_name

Example on Windows OS:

.\env_name\Scripts\activate

Install all the built-in packages from the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the required external packages:

• Opendrift (https://github.com/OpenDrift/opendrift);
• AdiosDB (https://github.com/NOAA-ORR-ERD/adios_oil_database);
• PyNUCOS (https://github.com/NOAA-ORR-ERD/PyNUCOS).

To do so: Clone it using its HTTPS URL into a folder, named packages for example:

cd ./packages/

git clone <HTTPS_URL>

Navigate to the cloned package folder:

cd ./opendrift/

Install it into your virtual environment (don't forget the final point):

pip install -e .

Cloning the Opendrift package is sufficient as it will automatically install its dependencies, including the other two packages.
