# Description:

This Dataset includes 128 trajectories of time-dependent Laser-Induced Droplet Explosion (LIDE). Using a Finite
Volume solver, we solve the two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric compressible Euler equations for this multiphase problem.

> Two separet files, "train.h5" and "test.h5", are provided. The former includes 96 trajectories for training and validation; the latter covers the 32 remaining trajectories for inference only.

> Refer to the "metadat_LIDE.json" file for more details on the dataset.

> A sample Out-of-Distribution, "OOD.h5", is added as well, which covers higher pressure values across 32 trajectories. For more details, refer to "metadata_LIDE_OOD.json".


# Download:

The dataset can be downloaded, e.g., via `huggingface-cli download`.

```bash
huggingface-cli download FluidVerse/LIDE --repo-type dataset --local-dir <LOCAL_DIR>
```

# Assembly:

After download, data parts for each file, train.h5, test.h5, or OOD.h5, can be assembled into a single HDF5 file using the provided assemble.py script. Use it as follows:
```bash
python ./assemble.py --folder_path <FOLDER_PATH> --output_path <OUTPUT_PATH>
```

# Extra Data Generation:

Use the instructions inside the generation script, "generator.py", for creating larger datasets. This script runs the solver specified in the "metadata_LIDE.json" file.
