Simulation of a shock-bubble interaction, using ChomboClaw. Click here to see the movie.

The functionality of Clawpack is now available in ChomboClaw, an adaptive mesh refinement code based on the Chombo framework.

• Hyperbolic problems in conservative and non-conservative form can be solved by supplying user defined Riemann solutions, initial conditions, and boundary conditions. The algorithms are based on the wave propagation methods described in Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems.

• Adaptive mesh refinement capabilities built-in

• High resolution finite volume methods based on Clawpack

• Mapped grids easily handled.

• Built on well tested Chombo infrastructure, developed at Lawrence Berkeley Labs.

• All output can be viewed using Chombovis or Matlab routines written specifically for ChomboClaw.

• Runs on a variety of platforms, including parallel platforms using MPI.

• All user defined files are written in Fortran -- no detailed knowledge of C++ required.

• Existing Clawpack codes will run virtually "as is" by compiling with ChomboClaw libraries. No changes required to Riemann solvers, initialization routines or auxilliary array routines.

• You may view the individual files for ChomboClaw here : (/~calhoun/Chombo/example/AMRClaw/).

• You may view the top level directory for Chombo, along with many examples, here : (/~calhoun/Chombo/)

• You may download ChomboClaw along with necessary Chombo files here : (Chombo_amrclaw.tar.gz).

• You may download all of Chombo, along with examples included in Chombo, and ChomboClaw here : (Chombo_all.tar.gz).

• Like all good software projects, the documentation for ChomboClaw is "Under construction"!
