ForestClaw

ForestClaw (http://www.forestclaw.org/ForestClaw) is a parallel, multi-block adaptive finite volume code for solving PDEs on a hierarchy of logically Cartesian meshes.


NOTE to BitBucket users : If you are reading this on our former BitBucket site, please navigate immediately to our new GitHub site, at http://www.github.com/ForestClaw/forestclaw. This site will no longer be updated.

NOTE to GitHub users : If you are reading this on our new GitHub site, lucky you! You are can clone the latest repository from here.


Features of ForestClaw :

  • A multi-resolution hierarchy of grids is stored as a composite structure of non- overlapping fixed sized grids which are stored as leaves in a forest of quad- or octrees.

  • Based on the highly scalable meshing library p4est (http://www.p4est.org)

  • Solvers for hyperbolic PDEs are available, including Clawpack 4.x, Clawpack 5.0 and GeoClaw (see http://www.clawpack.org).

  • Users can easily extend ForestClaw with their own solvers.

  • Fully parallel, using MPI distributed memory parallelism

  • Visualization tools include Matlab scripts, VisClaw (from Clawpack) and VTK output.
