BoxTools Example

This example is meant to take the user through the basics of programming with Chombo. We present the same application done three different ways to illustrate how Chombo can be used to make applications. We have implemented an explicit heat equation solver with single-grid only implementation, a very basic domain-decomposition method, and a method that uses all the relevant Chombo tools.

AMRElliptic Example

We present an example of how to use the elliptic library (AMRElliptic) in the Chombo distribution. This code defines an adaptive Poisson operator and an AMRSolver class with that operator. This example also shows how to call the solver's function to generate an adaptive solution to Poisson's equation and how to output that function using HDF5 in a way that is compatible with VisIt (see the VisIt Page for more information about Chombo visualization).

HDF5 Input/Output With Chombo

We present two instances of how to do parallel input/output in HDF5 using the Chombo infrastructure. The first is a simple domain-decomposition example which outputs data from a single union of rectangles. The second outputs data from a complete adaptive hierarchy of data.
