Run 1-D KiD Rainshaft Model

libs.test_case_1dkid.run_1dkid.run_1dkid(z_delta, z_max, time_end, timestep, thermo, microphys_scheme)[source]

Run 1-D KiD rainshaft model with a specified microphysics scheme and KiD dynamics.

This function runs a 1-D KiD rainshaft model with the given initial thermodynamic conditions, and microphysics scheme from time to time_end with a constant timestep based on the Shipway and Hill (2012) setup.

Parameters:
z_delta (float):

Grid spacing od 1-D column (m).

z_max (float):

Upper limit of 1-D column (m).

time_end (float):

End time for the simulation (s).

timestep (float):

Timestep for the simulation (s).

thermo (Thermodynamics):

Initial thermodynamic conditions.

microphys_scheme:

Microphysics scheme to use.

Returns:

OutputThermodynamics: Output containing thermodynamic data from the model run.
