# **The AMUN Code**
## Copyright (C) 2008-2019 Grzegorz Kowal

AMUN is a parallel code to perform numerical simulations in fluid approximation
on uniform or non-uniform (adaptive) meshes. The goal in developing this code is
to create a solid framework for simulations with support for number of numerical
methods which can be selected in an easy way through a parameter file. The
following features are already implemented:

* hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic set of equations (HD and MHD),
* both classical and special relativity cases for the above equations,
* Cartesian coordinate system,
* uniform and adaptive mesh generation and update,
* 2nd to 4th order time integration using Strong Stability Preserving
  Runge-Kutta methods,
* 2nd order TVD interpolation with number of limiters and higher order
  reconstructions,
* Riemann solvers of Roe- and HLL-types (HLL, HLLC, and HLLD),
* standard boundary conditions: periodic, open, reflective, hydrostatic, etc.
* viscous and resistive source terms,
* suppor for passive scalars (up to 100),
* data stored in the HDF5 format,
* MPI parallelization,
* completely written in Fortran 2003,
* Python interface to read data.

Requirements
============

* Fortran 2003 compiler, tested compilers include:
    - [GNU Fortran](https://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/) version 4.5 or newer,
    - [PGI Community Edition](https://www.pgroup.com/products/community.htm),
      version 18.10 or newer,
    - [Intel Fortran](https://software.intel.com/en-us/fortran-compilers)
      compiler version 9.0 or newer.
* [HDF5 libraries](https://www.hdfgroup.org/solutions/hdf5/), tested with
  version 1.8 or newer.
* [OpenMPI](https://www.open-mpi.org/) for parallel runs, tested with version
  1.8 or newer.


Environment Variables
=====================

If the HDF5 libraries are not installed in the default location, i.e. in the
system directory **/usr**, make sure that the environment variable _HDF5DIR_ is
set in your **~/.bashrc** (or **~/.cshrc**) and pointing to the location where
the HDF5 libraries have been installed.


Compilation
===========
1. Clone the AMUN source code:
  - from Bitbucket:
    `git clone https://grzegorz_kowal@bitbucket.org/amunteam/amun-code.git`,
  - from GitLab:
    `git clone https://gitlab.com/gkowal/amun-code.git`
  - or unpack the archive downloaded from page
   [Downloads](https://bitbucket.org/amunteam/amun-code/downloads/).
2. Go to directory **build/hosts/** and copy file **default** to a new file named
   exactly as your host name, i.e. `cp default $HOSTNAME`.
3. Customize your compiler and compilation options in your new host file.
4. Go up to directory **build/** and copy file **make.default** to **make.config**.
5. Customize compilation time options in **make.config**.
6. Compile sources by typing `make` in directory **build/**. The executable file
   **amun.x** should be created there.


Usage
=====

In order to run some test problems you can simply copy the problem parameter
file from directory **problems/** to the location where you wish to run your
test. Copy the executable file **amun.x** from the **build/** directory compiled
earlier. If you provide option _-i <parameter_file>_, the code will know that
parameters have to be read from file _<parameter_file>_. If you don't provide
this option, the code assumes that the parameters are stored in file
**params.in** in the same director.

In order to run serial version, just type in your terminal:
  `./amun.x -i ./params.in`.

In order to run parallel version (after compiling the code with MPI support),
type in your terminal:
  `mpirun -n N ./amun.x -i ./params.in`,
where N is the number of processors to use.
