Meeting Update 11/08/2011 - Eddie

Test Suite Progress

The tests directory was updated and pushed into the development repository on Clover. See ehansen11042011. A makefile for alfalfa was created so that Matt's buildproblem script will work as is on that machine. The Orbiting Particles problem will also be added soon.

Approximate Riemann Solvers

I finished implementing an HLLC solver and a Roe solver into my hydro code. See my buildcode page for details. My next task in this area is to implement a Roe solver into astrobear.

Higher Order Schemes

I have just started my reading on higher order schemes. I plan on using the basic 1D MUSCL-Hancock scheme for my code. Is there a particular limited slope or slope limiter that I should use? Toro has a section on extending this scheme to higher dimensions as an unsplit finite volume scheme. I'm assuming this is the one we want for astrobear? Also, it is my understanding that astrobear already has routines to calculate slope limiters, so I won't have to code that part of the MUSCL scheme correct?
