Supported data

FluidSF was originally designed to handle uniformly gridded cartesian vector and scalar fields from numerical oceanographic simulations. We have been expanding our support to other data types and structures, prioritizing the most common file types and data structures used in the oceanographic community. We are working to generalize our methods of data handling to ensure that FluidSF remains flexible and user-friendly.

File Types

FluidSF has been used with data from the following file types:

• NetCDF

• JLD2

Note

FluidSF expects data in NumPy arrays, so ideally any file type that can be converted to NumPy arrays can be used with FluidSF. If you are facing issues with a specific file type, feel free to create a discussion post or open an issue on the FluidSF repository.

Data Structures

FluidSF supports the following data structures:

• Uniformly gridded cartesian vector & scalar fields (1D, 2D, 3D)

• Latitude-longitude gridded vector & scalar fields (2D)
