AstroBear

Presentation

BEARCLAW is a AMR code based on a Riemann solver aim to be used for astrophysical application.

The hydro part of the solver have been tested using the suite in the book by Toro.

1D Test: Rossmanith Thesis /Ryu & Jones

This test has the folowing left and right state

density Vx Vy Vz P Bx By Bz
left 1 0 0 0 1 0.7 0 0
right 0.3 0 0 1 0.2 0.7 1 0

The fine line represent the analytically calculated "plateau". Done with an order 2, no transverse wave and a Lax-Friedrichs wave limiter.
We have plot the density, Vx, Vy, Vz, By and Bz

density with MUSCL density MUSCL

By with MUSCL By MUSCL

1D Test: Balsara

this test has 7 discontinuities and allow us to test the abilities of the code to test the slow and fast waves of each families. MUSCL is working much better than wavwbear which had a "spike" at the last discontinuity.

density MUSCL

2D test: inclined shock

the low resolution version give already a nice result. There is an oscillation, stronger than in the 1D case, but the resolution is much less.

density MUSCL

2D test: jet launching

with MUSCL the movie of the density evolution UP to negativ density and dies...

2D Test: Orzag & Tang Vortex

For this test we show the density with and without divergence cleaning.
