EHT-babel

Tools for converting output from KORAL, bhlight, and BHAC to the HARM HDF5 format specified here.

Usage

BHAC:

Currently supports only BHAC binary-format files using the LOG_KS coordinate system.

Usage:

$ python3 bhac-translate.py [--gridfile] file1.blk [file2.blk ...]

Outputs HARM .h5 files alongside all BHAC .blk files specified. If passed --gridfile, also outputs a file grid.h5 containing the locations of grid zone centers in KS coordinates, and the local metric in native coordinates.

KORAL:

./babel path/to/define.h path/to/koral.dat

You may need to comment/uncomment the type of KORAL data you expect to read. Do this by modifying the lines in babel.c

geom.dtype = KORAL_GRMHD;
geom.dtype = KORAL_RADGRMHD;

bhlight2d:

Currently supports only ASCII-format dump files using MKS coordinates.

Usage:

$ python3 bhlight2d-translate.py file1 [file2 ...]

Outputs HARM .h5 files alongside each specified text file.
