There are two independent AMR software packages available here.
The CCSE Applications Suite was developed by the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE), and contains updates of our previously released AMR software, as well as new code for modeling incompressible flow on a structured hierarchy of grids. For examples of the functionality of this software, see the research highlights generated by researchers in CCSE and their collaborators using this code framework and its extensions. Because of the modularity of the software design, fundamental pieces of the AMR framework are shared by a number of different applications. Other pieces of the software that are more application-specific specify the exact details of the algorithm used for a particular application. Visualization and data post-processing tools for the AMR data sets generated by the CCSE software are included.
Chombo was developed by the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group (ANAG). The package here is an updated version of that previously released, and is carefully constructed to allow users to build their own AMR application in a fraction of the time it would take to build one from scratch. In this release are sample codes to solve the Poisson equation, the Helmholtz equation, or the equations of gas dynamics (using Godunov methodology) using AMR. Chombo is being extended to include the capability to model complex geometry. A visualization tool for the AMR data sets generated by the Chombo software is included.
