Cactus Code Thorn AHFinderDirect
Authors : Jonathan Thornburg <jthorn@aei.mpg.de>
CVS info : $Header$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of the thorn
====================
This thorn finds an apparent horizon given the 3D xyz-grid metric and
extrinsic curvature. It uses a direct method, writing the apparent
horizon equation as an elliptic PDE on angular-coordinate space. This
is fast, but does require an intitial guess for the apparent horizon
position.
Documentation
=============
The doc/ directory contains a user's guide and a programmer's guide
for this thorn.
Distribution
============
This thorn should eventually become part of the CactusEinstein arrangement.
This thorn is distributed under terms of the GNU public license; see
the file COPYING in this directory for details.
Other Software Required
=======================
* This thorn requires the Einstein thorn.
* This thorn is written in C++, so you'll need a C++ compiler to compile
this thorn. It calls various C and Fortran numerical libraries; if
these aren't already installed on your system, then you'll need C
and Fortran compilers to compile them.
* Most of this thorn's relativity code is machine-generated using Maple
(version 6), but you don't need Maple unless you want to modify the
relativity code.
Portability
===========
This thorn is known to compile and run successfully on the following
systems:
* Red Hat GNU/Linux, gcc 2.95.3
* Alpha OSF1 V4.0, gcc 2.95.3
