Phase-field simulations of multiphase behavior in fluids with randomly interacting components

This is a readme for the documentation of the phase-field simulation model. Running this code requires pre-requisites (below) and recommended to be run in a separate conda environment

Requirements for Code

• python (>=3.7)
• numpy
• numexpr
• moviepy
• matplotlib

How to run code

The code can be run by running run_pfsim.py with input and output flags

python run_pfsim --flag_name flag_params

Required flags

--i /path/to/input_params.file Input parameters (example provided along with the code under /Input/input_params.txt)

--o /path/to/output_folder/ Path to output folder

Optional flags

--p /path/to/parameter_sweep.file Values of single parameter to sweep over (example provided along with the code under /Input/params_file.txt)

Note when using this - if only the effect of the parameter is to studied, best to fix a seed instead of using a random seed.

--pN x Run a simulation with param in line (x) from param file

--test 0/1 If 1, runs a test setup - initialization occurs but no phase-field simulation is run and outputs are not generated to be stored.
