1.0

abstract

Package of
Fortran subroutines for solving hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one
and two space dimensions. (Future versions should include 3D.) High resolution
flux-limiter methods are used, based on solving one-dimensional Riemann
problems. In two dimensions, multi-dimensional wave-propagation methods are
used. The current version supports only uniform Cartesian grids in
rectangular domains, and is intended primarily as a research and teaching
tool. The modular form should make it easy to modify and experiment with
other methods, as well as to apply it to new problems.
