Resolution Sensitivity Across Scales#

Note

This page and its static assets are auto-generated by python -m tools.doc_gallery. The Sphinx build only reads committed PNG and JSON artifacts.

This case compares how mesh cell areas distribute across the three committed scales. It provides a compact resolution ladder without generating new meshes.

Mesh resolution sensitivity across scales
Cell-area distributions across the 10, 100, and 1000 km2 bundles.

Case Setup#

  • Cell areas read directly from bundle CSVs.

  • Log-scale histograms to compare heterogeneous resolution.

  • Percentile table to summarize each scale.

What It Shows#

  • How cell-area distributions shift with scale.

  • How to summarize resolution sensitivity using percentiles.

  • A reusable template for comparing mesh density across bundles.

Key Metrics#

  • Cells: 547

  • Area p10: 4.47e+03 m2

  • Area median: 3.26e+04 m2

  • Area p90: 2.04e+05 m2

Reproduce#

Run the underlying example or validation case with:

python -m tools.doc_gallery

Refresh the committed gallery artifacts with:

python -m tools.doc_gallery
