wdmerger

A software package for simulating white dwarf mergers with CASTRO

Getting Started

There is a user's guide in documentation/ that will guide you through installing the required software and running simulations. Enter make at the command line to build the user's guide. You can also find the user's guide (updated nightly) at http://astro.sunysb.edu/mkatz/files/wdmergeruserguide.pdf.

Branches

The master branch is the stable branch, which should in general work correctly. Active development of the code is done on the development branch; this has the latest features but is not guaranteed to be error-free. This mirrors the structure of the other BoxLib codes. Consequently, for whichever branch you choose, you should choose the same branch in CASTRO, BoxLib, and Microphysics (if you are using that) to ensure that all codes are in sync with each other. When you do a git pull on any one of these codes, you should do a `git pull' on all the others, as we often submit simultaneous updates to multiple codes that are intended to all work together.

Contact

Please contact Max Katz (maximilian.katz@stonybrook.edu) at Stony Brook University if you need help with wdmerger. General CASTRO and BoxLib questions should be directed to the CASTRO user's mailing list/Google group, castro-help@googlegroups.com.
