Hermes plasma edge simulation model. Uses BOUT++ framework, adds finite volume
operators and neutral gas models.

This is Hermes-2, a hot ion drift-reduced model.

## Installing

This version works with the BOUT++ v4.4, currently the master branch.
Either CMake or Autotools can be used to build it.

### CMake

This is probably the most straightforward method to use now. First
configure BOUT++ and Hermes-2. To use the default options and minimal
dependencies just run:

$ cmake . -B build

Alternatively the CMake build can be customised: See the [BOUT++
documentation](https://bout-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_docs/installing.html#cmake)
for examples of using `cmake` arguments, or edit the compile options
interactively before building:

$ ccmake . -B build

During configuration
[BOUT++](https://github.com/boutproject/BOUT-dev/) will be
automatically downloaded as a submodule, together with some
dependencies (NetCDF and FFTW are assumed to be installed already,
along with optional dependencies like SUNDIALS and PETSc if they are
requested). Once configured, run build to compile BOUT++ and then
Hermes-3:

$ cmake --build build

### Autotools

To build and run tests with GNU autoconf and make, first install BOUT++:

git clone https://github.com/boutproject/BOUT-dev.git
cd BOUT-dev

To run this model, preconditioning is strongly recommended, and requires the CVODE solver, part of [SUNDIALS](http://computation.llnl.gov/projects/sundials).
Tested with version 2.6.0. To enable CVODE, BOUT++ should be configured using

./configure --with-cvode

or

./configure --with-sundials

(which then also enables the IDA solver). Compile BOUT++ with

make

Then clone the Hermes-2 repository

git clone https://github.com/bendudson/hermes-2

cd hermes-2

To compile, run "make" and specify the location of BOUT++

make BOUT_TOP=/path/to/BOUT-next

This path should be the full path, not relative path, to avoid
problems with compilation in subdirectories.
