Welcome to the HAMeRS wiki!

HAMeRS is a compressible Navier-Stokes/Euler solver with the patch-based adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique. The parallelization of the code and all the construction, management and storage of cells are facilitated by the Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement Application Infrastructure (SAMRAI) from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

The code consists of various explicit high-order finite difference shock-capturing WCNS's (Weighted Compact Nonlinear Schemes) for capturing shock waves, material interfaces, and turbulent features. The AMR algorithm implemented is based on the one developed by Berger et al.

Currently, following features have been implemented:

  • Euler and compressible Navier-Stokes solvers

  • High-order conservative shock- and interface-capturing WCNS family including the sixth-order localized dissipation WCNS

  • Sixth-order finite difference schemes for diffusive/viscous flux in conservative or non-conservative form

  • Value, gradient and multiresolution wavelet sensors for identifying regions for refinement

  • Single-species, four-equation (assuming isothermal and isobaric equilibria between species) and five-equation (assuming isobaric equilibrium between species) multi-species flow models

  • Multi-time stepping with Runge-Kutta schemes
