SOL and Divertor in 1D. Simulates a plasma fluid in one dimension (along the magnetic field), interacting with a neutral gas fluid.
- Evolves the density, momentum and pressure (internal energy) of both plasma and neutrals.
- Includes exchange of particles, momentum and energy through ionisation, recombination and charge exchange
- Several different numerical methods are implemented, both upwind and central differencing

This version works with BOUT++ v4.0 or later
git clone https://github.com/boutproject/BOUT-dev.git
cd BOUT-dev
To run this model, preconditioning is strongly recommended, and requires the CVODE solver, part of SUNDIALS. Tested with version 2.6.0. To enable CVODE, BOUT++ should be configured using
./configure --with-cvode
or
./configure --with-sundials
(which then also enables the IDA solver). Compile BOUT++ with
make
Once BOUT++ is configured and compiled, checkout a copy of SD1D
git clone https://github.com/boutproject/SD1D.git
then compile SD1D, specifying the path to BOUT-dev
cd SD1D
make BOUT_TOP=/path/to/BOUT-dev/
Once compiled, launch an MPI job to run the examples
mpirun -np 4 ./sd1d -d case-01
where "-d case-01" specifies the directory to use for inputs and outputs.
