Vellamo

Vellamo is a simple fluid code based on the Schnek library and making use of the Huerto algorithm repository.

Installation

Prerequisites

Vellamo has currently been tested on Linux only.

You need

C++ compiler
MPI, both mpich or Open MPI have been tested
HDF5, built with MPI support to allow parallel file output
Schnek built with MPI and HDF5

Obtaining and Building the Code

There are currently no releases. Obtain the code directly from the GitHub repository.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/holgerschmitz/Vellamo.git

The --recurse-submodules option is important so that you also get the correct version of Huerto.

You may want to look at the Makefile before building the code. The variable HDFBASE should be set to the location of your HDF5 installation. Once you are happy with everything, simply run

make

This will build three versions of the code and place them into the bin/ folder.

Running the Simulation

Run the simulation by executing vellamo1d, vellamo2d, or vellamo3d inside a folder with a vellamo.setup file. Look at the examples/ folder for some examples.
