Yantra is a lattice Boltzmann method based tool preliminary designed to perform pore-scale and multilevel pore-scale simulations. Lattice Boltzmann method derived from measoscopic Boltzmann equations provides certain advantages compared to traditional numerical methods when it comes to simulating complex processes at pore-scale. In Yantra additionally the transport module has been tightly coupled with external geochemical solver PHREEQC. Yantra also contains a special multilevel module which can handle simulations through porous media where due to lack of resolution both continuum and pore-scales coexist.

Currently yantra is in developmental stage. Therefore it advised not to install it completely. Use following commands to build the FORTRAN extensions in place so that Yantra can be ran from downloaded directory. At present python 3.12 and later versions are not supported.
Install 64 bit python distribution. Use of Anaconda is recommended.
Install a FORTRAN compiler. Use of TDM-MINGW distribution has been successfully tested.
Install IPhreeqcPy. Follow its installation instructions.
Download Yantra version 1.0.0-dev. Unzip the folder and run following commands in TDM-GCC console
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Make sure a Fortran compiler is available and numpy, matplotlib and scipy are installed
Install requirements using requirements.txt file. Run following command in terminal
pip install -r requirements.txt
Download Yantra version 1.0.0-dev. Unzip the folder and run following command in terminal
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Coming soon

Development of Yantra was initated by the author during his PhD project which was carried out in joint collobration with Ghent university (UGent) and Belgian Nuclear Reasearch Center (SCK-CEN). At the end of PhD thesis (November 2015) of the author Yantra version 0.1 was released. Author continued to further develop Yantra during November 2015 to July 2017 as part of his research at Belgian Nuclear Reasearch Center (SCK-CEN). At the end of employment at SCK-CEN Yantra version 0.5 was released. From august the author started working at LES lab in PSI where he continues to develop and provide support for yantra. At present Yantra is being redesigned and a new version 1.0.0 is due to be released in January 2018
