| 111 | | AstroBEAR is an Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) distributed-memory parallel Eulerian code written in FORTRAN 90 which supports hydro- or magnetohydrodynamics in two or three dimensions. AstroBEAR is derived from the [http://www.amath.unc.edu/Faculty/mitran/bearclaw.html BEARCLAW] AMR package written by [NorthCarolinaGroup Sorin Mitran]. Users write their own project modules in AstroBEAR by specifying initial conditions and any continual processes, such as an inflow condition. There exists a variety of modules already built; users are encouraged to use these as a starting point for their own module(s). |
| 112 | | |
| 113 | | Once a module has been written and the executable is ready to be run, users specify simulation parameters---such as the resolution, how many levels of AMR are desired, source term physics such as radiative cooling, and so forth---in the [wiki:AstroBearIntro#AstroBEARsDataFiles data files]. The code is most commonly run on Beowulf-type computing clusters, though it has been successfully ported to the !BlueGene/P architecture. |
