Subzero.jl is a native Julia discrete-element model (DEM) for exploring fine-scale sea ice dynamics, reimplementing and enhancing MATLAB model SubZero by Manucharyan and Montemuro.
- 🚀 Runs over 35 times faster that original MATLAB model for title simulation!
- 🧩 Modular simulation model makes it easy to customize simulations!
- Enable and disable physical processes such as fracturing, ridging, and welding
- Choose algorithms for key processes (or add your own!)
To learn how to build and run simulations, check out our documentation and tutorials!
Subzero is a registered Julia package. So to install it,
-
Download Julia (version 1.10 or later). We recommend using
JuliaUpso it is easy to change versions in the future. -
Launch Julia and type
julia> using Pkg julia> Pkg.add("Subzero")
This installs the latest version that's compatible with your current environment.
-
You are ready to use Subzero! Get started with:
