CaNS (Canonical Navier-Stokes) is a high-performance simulator for massively-parallel numerical simulations of fluid flows. It is specifically designed to solve problems involving incompressible, Newtonian fluids, making it a popular choice for researchers and engineers in fluid dynamics. CaNS is widely used in simulations of turbulence, vortex dynamics, and large-scale atmospheric or oceanic flows.
With Inductiva, you can speed up your CaNS simulations by sending them to Cloud machines with hundreds of cores and terabytes of disk space.
How to Run CaNS on the Cloud
Running your CaNS simulations on the Cloud is easy. All you need is to create a short Python script that points Inductiva to the simulation artifacts you have on your computer, and we will take it from there.
On the right, we show how to use the Inductiva API to send a CaNS simulation to a 180 vCPU machine (c3d-standard-180) hosted on Google Cloud (GCP).
You can copy paste this Python script, adapt it to your own case, and specify the CaNS version you want to run. Your simulation will start right away, without waiting in a queue.
"""CaNS example"""
import inductiva
# Allocate Google cloud machine
cloud_machine = inductiva.resources.MachineGroup( \
provider="GCP",
machine_type="c3d-highcpu-180")
# Initialize the Simulator
cans = inductiva.simulators.CaNS()
# Run simulation with config files in the input directory
task = cans.run( \
input_dir="path/to/my/cans/files",
sim_config_filename="my_config_file.nml",
on=cloud_machine)
# Wait for the simulation to finish and download the results
task.wait()
cloud_machine.terminate()
task.download_outputs()
