PLUTO Test Problems
4.4-patch2
|
This page provides a (non-comprehensive) documentation to a variety of examples where different astrophysical / fluid dynamical problems are tackled using the PLUTO code. Numerical benchmarks are categorized into four different directories according to the PHYSICS
module employed:
HD/
: contains problems for the gas-dynamic Euler or Navier-Stokes equations;MHD/
: contains problems for ideal or resistive magnetohydrodynamics;RHD/
: collection of numerical benchmarks for (special) relativistic hydro equations;RMHD/
: collection of numerical benchmarks for (special) relativistic MHD.RadRMHD/
: collection of numerical benchmarks for th radiative relativistic MHD module.Particles/
: collection of numerical benchmarks for the Particles moduleClick on Files
above to browse through the different directories.
Each test problem can be set up using one of the pre-defined configuration files that come along with the code distribution. Configuration files can differ for the choice of the Riemann solver, geometry, interpolation, time stepping and so forth. A specific configuration is labeled by a two-digit number and it is stored in the two files
pluto_nn.ini
definitions_nn.h
where nn=01,02,03,...
.
In order to compile and run PLUTO for a given configuration, the previous files must be copied on pluto.ini
and definitions.h
and the python script should be executed. The problem setting does not need to be changed (i.e. Setup problem
may be skipped) but you must choose a suitable makefile
by selecting Change makefile
