Installing BOUT++
This version works with BOUT++ v4.3 or later
git clone https://github.com/boutproject/BOUT-dev.git
cd BOUT-dev
To run this model, preconditioning is strongly recommended, and requires the CVODE solver, part of SUNDIALS. Tested with version 2.6.0. To enable CVODE, BOUT++ should be configured using
./configure --with-cvode
or
./configure --with-sundials
(which then also enables the IDA solver). Compile BOUT++ with
make
Compiling Hermes
To compile, run "make" and specify the location of BOUT++
$ make BOUT_TOP=/path/to/BOUT/
Testing
$ make check BOUT_TOP=/path/to/BOUT
This will run both unit and integrated tests.
Examples
$ ./hermes-3 -d examples/blob2d
