Open source adaptive mesh code

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting an open-source library for parallel code development in adaptive mesh refinement. The recommended libraries include OpenFOAM, LLNL/SAMRAI, LANL/CLAMR, and MIT SU2. OpenFOAM is highlighted for its flexibility and extensive online resources for implementing adaptive meshing. Users are encouraged to leverage existing libraries to avoid redundant development efforts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of parallel programming concepts
  • Familiarity with adaptive mesh refinement techniques
  • Basic knowledge of OpenFOAM and its functionalities
  • Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the documentation and tutorials for OpenFOAM adaptive meshing
  • Investigate the capabilities of LLNL/SAMRAI for parallel adaptive mesh refinement
  • Review LANL/CLAMR's implementation strategies for adaptive mesh techniques
  • Learn about MIT SU2's features and how it handles adaptive meshing
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, software developers, and engineers involved in computational fluid dynamics and those looking to implement adaptive mesh refinement in their projects.

I want to start a project that requires parallel code for adaptive mesh refinement. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, and was hoping to leverage an open source library as a starting point. Does anyone have experience with any of these codes and could make a recommendation? At this point I am considering the following codes, but am open to others:

(1) Open Foam
(2) LLNL/SAMRAI
(3) LANL/CLAMR
(4) MIT SU2

I have some limited knowledge of OpenFOAM, which I think is a great platform as it allows lots of flexibility. You will find lots of information online on how adaptive meshing can be implemented in OpenFOAM.
