Description

We present quTARANG, a robust GPU-accelerated Python package developed for a comprehensive study of turbulence problems in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). It solves the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) using a Time-splitting pseudo-spectral (TSSP) scheme and ground state calculations are performed using a Backward Euler spectral (BESP) scheme. quTARANG also has post-processing tools that can compute different statistical properties of turbulent Bose-Einstein condensates, such as kinetic energy spectra, particle number spectrum and corresponding fluxes. This paper provides detailed descriptions of the code, along with specific examples for calculating the ground state and turbulent state of the condensate under different initial conditions for both 2-D and 3-D cases. We also present results on the dynamics of the GPE in 2-D and 3-D used to validate our code. Finally, we compare the performance of quTARANG on different GPUs to its performance on a CPU, demonstrating the speedup achieved on various GPU architectures.
