Particle model for discharge simulation

Particle simulations of discharges in 3D, with adaptive particle control (super-particles) and adaptive grid refinement.

Getting the code on your machine

First, clone the repository (in this case into a folder pamdi3d)

$ git clone https://github.com/jannisteunissen/pamdi3d pamdi3d

After that, you can compile with just

$ cd pamdi3d
$ make

Updating the code

Depending on your git preferences you can use

$ git fetch

or

$ git pull; git merge origin/master

To do a fresh compilation:

$ make clean
$ make

Running the code

Running (sequential):

$ ./pampi3d my_config_file.txt

Running (parallel, N = number of tasks):

$ mpirun -n N ./pampi3d my_config_file.txt

You can also specify multiple configuration files, like:

$ ./pampi3d cfg_base.txt cfg_1.txt

In each configuration file, you can specify a different "sim_name" variable. These names will be appended to each other.

Visualizing the output

I'd highly recommend Visit to visualize the output. Output files have the Silo format.
