Subzero.jl is a native Julia discrete-element model (DEM) for exploring fine-scale sea ice dynamics, reimplementing and enhancing MATLAB model SubZero by Manucharyan and Montemuro.
- 🚀 Runs over 35 times faster that original MATLAB model for title simulation!
- 🧩 Modular simulation model makes it easy to customize simulations!
- Enable and disable physical processes such as fracturing, ridging, and welding
- Choose algorithms for key processes (or add your own!)
To learn how to build and run simulations, check out our documentation and tutorials!
Subzero is not yet a registered Julia package. So to install it,
-
Download Julia (version 1.9 or later).
-
Launch Julia and enter into the package manager mode by typing
]in the terminal. -
Run the following
pkg> add "[email protected]:Caltech-OCTO/Subzero.jl.git"This will add the package to your package manager. After that you return to the REPL mode by hitting the backspace and you are ready to use Subzero!
