We describe a software package designed for the investigation of topological fluid dynamics with a novel algorithm for locating and tracking vortex cores. The package is equipped with modules for generating desired vortex knots and links and evolving them according to the Navier-Stokes equations, while tracking and visualizing them. The package is parallelized using a message passing interface for a multiprocessor environment and makes use of a computational steering library for dynamic user intervention.
我们描述了一个软件包，它专为拓扑流体动力学研究而设计，带有一种用于定位和跟踪涡核的新颖算法。该软件包配备了多个模块，用于生成所需的涡结和涡链，并根据纳维-斯托克斯方程使其演化，同时对其进行跟踪和可视化。该软件包在多处理器环境中使用消息传递接口进行并行化处理，并利用一个计算指导库实现动态用户干预。
