This directory contains sample parameter files. Kerr.par is a good one to start with if you want a simple example of AHFinderDirect usage. It's my standard "sanity-check" test case for AHFinderDirect, and runs in a < 10 seconds on a laptop. It sets up Kerr/Kerr-Schild initial data and finds the apparent horizon in it, with the coordinate origin and initial guess offset to make this a nontrivial test of the apparent horizon finder. misner-init.par is another fairly simple parameter file, which sets up Misner initial data and then finds the apparent horizons in it. misner-run.par is a more complicated parameter file, which sets up the same Misner initial data, but now time-evolves it, finding the apparent horizons at each time step. (It also runs AHFinder every 20 time steps for comparison.) It takes a lot of cpu and memory to run.
