MICM Chemistry

Model Independent Chemical Module. MICM can be used to configure and solve atmospheric chemistry systems.

Note MICM 3.x.x is part of a refactor and may include breaking changes across minor revision numbers and partially implemented features

Getting Started

Installing MICM locally

To build and install MICM locally, you must have CMake installed on your machine.

Open a terminal window, navigate to a folder where you would like the MICM files to exist, and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/NCAR/micm.git
cd micm
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..
sudo make install -j 8

To run the tests:

make test

If you would later like to uninstall MICM, you can run sudo make uninstall from the build/ directory.

Options

There are multiple options for running micm. You can use json to configure a solver, llvm to JIT-compile solvers on CPUs or cuda-based solvers to solve chemistry on GPUs. Please read our docs to learn how to enable these options.

Running a MICM Docker container

You must have Docker Desktop installed and running. With Docker Desktop running, open a terminal window. To build the latest MICM release, run the following command to start the MICM container:

docker run -it ghcr.io/ncar/micm:release bash

To build the latest pre-release version of MICM, instead run:

git clone https://github.com/NCAR/micm.git
cd micm
docker build -t micm -f docker/Dockerfile .
docker run -it micm bash

Inside the container, you can run the MICM tests from the /build/ folder:

cd /build/
make test

Using the MICM executable

A simple driver for MICM is built with the library and can be used to solve a chemical system for given initial conditions over one time step.

Just pass the driver the path to the folder containing a valid JSON mechanism configuration and the path to a CSV file holding the initial conditions.

Several example mechanisms and sets of conditions can be found in the /examples/configs/ folder.

You can use them like this:

micm examples/configs/chapman examples/configs/chapman/initial_conditions.csv

The output should be:

 time,          O,        O1D,         O2,         O3
    0,   0.00e+00,   0.00e+00,   7.50e-01,   8.10e-06
   60,   2.57e-12,   3.49e-22,   7.50e-01,   8.10e-06

Using the MICM API

The following example solves the fictitious chemical system:

foo       --k1--> 0.8 bar + 0.2 baz
foo + bar --k2--> baz

The k1 and k2 rate constants are for Arrhenius reactions. See the MICM documentation for details on the types of reactions available in MICM and how to configure them.

To solve this system save the following code in a file named foo_chem.cpp:

#include <micm/process/arrhenius_rate_constant.hpp>
#include <micm/solver/rosenbrock.hpp>
#include <micm/solver/solver_builder.hpp>

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>

using namespace micm;

int main(const int argc, const char *argv[])
{
  auto foo = Species{ "Foo" };
  auto bar = Species{ "Bar" };
  auto baz = Species{ "Baz" };

  Phase gas_phase{ std::vector<Species>{ foo, bar, baz } };

  System chemical_system{ SystemParameters{ .gas_phase_ = gas_phase } };

  Process r1 = Process::Create()
                   .SetReactants({ foo })
                   .SetProducts({ Yield(bar, 0.8), Yield(baz, 0.2) })
                   .SetRateConstant(ArrheniusRateConstant({ .A_ = 1.0e-3 }))
                   .SetPhase(gas_phase);

  Process r2 = Process::Create()
                   .SetReactants({ foo, bar })
                   .SetProducts({ Yield(baz, 1) })
                   .SetRateConstant(ArrheniusRateConstant({ .A_ = 1.0e-5, .C_ = 110.0 }))
                   .SetPhase(gas_phase);

  std::vector<Process> reactions{ r1, r2 };

  auto solver = micm::CpuSolverBuilder<micm::RosenbrockSolverParameters>(micm::RosenbrockSolverParameters::ThreeStageRosenbrockParameters())
                    .SetSystem(chemical_system)
                    .SetReactions(reactions)
                    .Build();

  State state = solver.GetState();

  state.conditions_[0].temperature_ = 287.45;  // K
  state.conditions_[0].pressure_ = 101319.9;   // Pa
  state.SetConcentration(foo, 20.0);           // mol m-3

  state.PrintHeader();
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
  {
    solver.CalculateRateConstants(state);
    auto result = solver.Solve(500.0, state);
    state.PrintState(i * 500);
  }

  return 0;
}

To build and run the example using GNU (assuming the default install location):

g++ -o foo_chem foo_chem.cpp -I/usr/local/micm-3.6.0/include -std=c++20
./foo_chem

Output:

 time,        Bar,        Baz,        Foo
    0,   5.90e+00,   1.91e+00,   1.18e+01
