Computational results and Python files for the work "Guided Modes of Helical Waveguides"

This repository contains the code and data accompanying the paper "Guided Modes of Helical Waveguides".The implementation is based on the open-source Finite Element library NGSolve (www.ngsolve.org). To generate the data, we used NGSolve-version NGSolve-6.2.2501-27-g1c6a03484. Further, we used pyeigfeast (https://bitbucket.org/jayggg/pyeigfeast) version 552cca9873d1d5744c51cf2a2b0428df276f1403.The implementation of the full 3D model, straightened configuration, and reduced 2D model for guided helical waveguides can be found in, respectively, full3d_model.py, straightened_model.py, and reduced2dmodel.py.See demo_2d_model.py for a simple demo example for the 2d model.In fiber_meshes.py, we collected the code to generate the meshes for the 3D, straightened, and 2D computations. Utility classes to represent helices and helix-pipes are placed in fiber.py. A utility function for searching the eigenmodes can be found in search_modes.pyThe data for the numerical experiments is generated by running cross_verification_2d.py, cross_verification_straightened.py, cross_verification_full_3d.py, torus_example_2d.py, and parameter_study_pitch.py.The generated raw data (.pkl) and tables (.csv and .tex) are stored in the data.zip folder.For the post-pressing, we used visualize.py to generate the pictures of the solutions.
