Detailed Description

framework for Berger-Oliger timestepping for AMR

This class is a framework for Berger-Oliger timestepping for adaptive mesh refinement of time-dependent problems. It is applicable to both hyperbolic and parabolic problems. It represents a hierarchy of levels of refinement as a collection of {\tt AMRLevel}s. The usage pattern is this: \ 1. Call define to define the stuff that does not change throughout the run (maxlevel, refinement ratios, domain, and operator) \ 1.5. Modify any parameters you like (blocking factor and so forth using access functions.\ 2. Call any one of the three setup functions so AMR can set up all its internal data structures.\ 3. Call run to run the calculation.\ 4. Call conclude to output (to stdout) how many cells were updated and so forth.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AMR::AMR (    )

{\bf constructors, destructors and defines} Default constructor. Use must subsequently call a define() function and a setUp function.

AMR::~AMR (    )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

void AMR::assignDt (    )  [protected]

void AMR::blockFactor (  int    a_blockFactor )

Set the blocking factor for meshrefinement. Should be called after define and before setup.

void AMR::checkpointInterval (  int    a_checkpoint_interval )

Sets the interval to write checkpoint files, in terms of the base level time step.

void AMR::checkpointPrefix (  const std::string &    a_checkpointfile_prefix )

Sets the checkpoint file prefix. Should be called after define and before setup.

void AMR::clearMemory (    )  [protected]

void AMR::conclude (    )  const

You should call this last. It writes the last checkpoint file and tells you how many cells you updated and all that.

void AMR::define (  int    a_max_level, const Vector< int > &    a_ref_ratios, const ProblemDomain &    a_prob_domain, const AMRLevelFactory *const    a_amrLevelFact )

Defines this object. User must call a setup function before running. {\bf Arguments:}\ a_prob_domain (not modified): problem domain on the base level.\ a_ref_ratios (not modified): refinement ratios. There must be at least a_max_level+1 elements, or an error will result. Element zero is the base level.\ a_max_level (not modified): the maximum level allowed, where the base level is zero. There will be a total of a_max_level+1 levels, since level zero and level a_max_level will both exist.\ a_amrlevel_ptr (not modified): pointer to a physics class factory object. The object it points to is used to construct the collection of AMRLevels in this AMR as objects of the physics class type. It can be destructed after this define() returns.

void AMR::define (  int    a_max_level, const Vector< int > &    a_ref_ratios, const Box &    a_prob_domain, const AMRLevelFactory *const    a_amrLevelFact )

Defines this object. User must call a setup function before running. {\bf Arguments:}\ a_prob_domain (not modified): problem domain on the base level.\ a_ref_ratios (not modified): refinement ratios. There must be at least a_max_level+1 elements, or an error will result. Element zero is the base level.\ a_max_level (not modified): the maximum level allowed, where the base level is zero. There will be a total of a_max_level+1 levels, since level zero and level a_max_level will both exist.\ a_amrlevel_ptr (not modified): pointer to a physics class factory object. The object it points to is used to construct the collection of AMRLevels in this AMR as objects of the physics class type. It can be destructed after this define() returns.

void AMR::dtToleranceFactor (  Real    a_dt_tolerance_factor )

Set the factor by which the current dt must exceed the new (max) dt for time subcycling to occur (i.e., reduction of the current dt by powers of 2).

void AMR::fillRatio (  Real    a_fillRat )

Set the fill ratio for meshrefinement. Should be called after define and before setup.

Real AMR::fixedDt (    )  const

Returns the fixed timestep.

void AMR::fixedDt (  Real    a_dt )

Set a fixed timestep.

Vector<AMRLevel*> AMR::getAMRLevels (    )

Real AMR::getCurrentTime (    )  const

void AMR::gridBufferSize (  int    a_grid_buffer_size )

Set the buffering for the meshrefinement. Should be called after define and before setup.

void AMR::initialGrid (    )  [protected]

bool AMR::isDefined (    )  const

{\bf Setup functions} Has a define function been called? Lots of these functions will assert fail if not.

bool AMR::isSetUp (    )  const

Has a setUp function been called? If not, you can't call run

void AMR::makeBaseLevelMesh (  Vector< Box > &    a_grids )  const [protected]

int AMR::maxBaseGridSize (    )  const

void AMR::maxBaseGridSize (  int    a_max_base_grid_size )

Set the maximum grid size for level 0 grids. Defaults to maxGridSize, so should be called after maxGridSize and before setup

Real AMR::maxDtGrow (    )  const

Returns current maximum factor by which a timestep can grow.

void AMR::maxDtGrow (  Real    a_dtGrowFactor )

Set maximum factor by which a timestep can grow.

int AMR::maxGridSize (    )  const

void AMR::maxGridSize (  int    a_max_grid_size )

Set the maximum grid size. Should be called after define and before setup.

bool AMR::needToRegrid (  int    a_level, int    a_numStepsLeft )  const [protected]

void AMR::plotInterval (  int    a_plot_interval )

Sets the interval to write plot files, in terms of the base level time step.

void AMR::plotPrefix (  const std::string &    a_plotfile_prefix )

{\bf Administrative functions} Sets the plot file prefix. Should be called after define and before setup.

void AMR::regrid (  int    a_base_level )  [protected]

void AMR::regridIntervals (  const Vector< int > &    a_regridIntervals )

Sets the regridding intervals. This should be OK to call any time after define and before run.

void AMR::run (  Real    a_max_time, int    a_max_step )

Runs the calculation. User must have previously called both the define function and a setup function.

void AMR::setDefaultValues (    )  [protected]

void AMR::setupForFixedHierarchyRun (  const Vector< Vector< Box > > &    a_amr_grids, int    a_proper_nest = 1 )

This sets the hierarchy and sets regrid_intervals to -1 (turns off regridding). If you want to keep regridding on, reset regridIntervals after this call;

void AMR::setupForNewAMRRun (    )

Sets up this object for cold start. User must have previously called define(). Need to call this or setupForRestart or setupforFixedHierarchyRun before you run.

int AMR::timeStep (  int    a_level, int    a_stepsLeft, bool    timeBoundary )  [protected]

int AMR::verbosity (    )  const

Returns current verbosity level. -inf to 0: print nothing. \ 1: prints a message every coarse time step. \ 2: also prints a message when regridding and writing files. \ 3: also prints function trace, and some more inf during file I/O. \ 4 to inf: also prints list of boxes and processor maps during regrid.

void AMR::verbosity (  int    a_verbosity )

Sets verbosity level to a_verbosity. -inf to 0: print nothing. \ 1: prints a message every coarse time step. \ 2: also prints a message when regridding and writing files. \ 3: also prints function trace, and some more inf during file I/O. \ 4 to inf: also prints list of boxes and processor maps during regrid. This should be OK to call any time after define and before run.
