This code consists of the following files:
README : this file
COPYING : GNU Public License (GPL)
lic.txt : text file of copyright information
Makefile : used to compile main.c
main.c : demonstration program
utoprim_1d.c : contains those routines for the 1D_W method
utoprim_1dvsq1.c : contains those routines for the 1D_{v^2} method
utoprim_1dvsq2.c : contains those routines for the 1D^*_{v^2} method
utoprim_2d.c : contains those routines for the 2D method
utoprim_5d.c : contains those routines for the 5D method
utoprim_poly.c : contains those routines for the Polynomial method
u2p_defs.h : header file containing compile time options/flags
u2p_util.c : utility routines used by the inversion methods
u2p_util.h : header for u2p_util.h
In order to use a particular method, you will need to only include the
following files in your compilation:
utoprim_$NAME.c, u2p_util.c, u2p_util.h, u2p_defs.h
where $NAME is the name of the file pertaining to the method you wish to use.
The inversion routine that you will call within your code has the definition:
int Utoprim_$NAME(FTYPE U[NPR], FTYPE gcov[NDIM][NDIM], FTYPE gcon[NDIM][NDIM],
FTYPE gdet, FTYPE prim[NPR])
where $NAME is the same as before (1d, 2d, 5d, 1dvsq2, etc.).
FTYPE, NDIM, NPR are all defined in u2p_defs.h and are the desired floating-point
type (float, double, long double, etc.), number of spacetime dimensions (default 4),
and the number of primitive and conserved variables (default 8 and we
assume there is an equal number of primitive and conserved variables). U[NPR] is
the array of conserved variables, prim[NPR] is the array of primitive variables,
gcov[NDIM][NDIM] is the covariant ("down-down", g_{\mu \nu}) form of the metric,
gcon[NDIM][NDIM] is the contravariant ("up-up", g^{\mu \nu}) form of the metric,
gdet is sqrt(-det(g_{\mu \nu}) where det(g_{\mu \nu} is the determinant of
the metric. U[] and prim[] on input and output are defined as the following:
/ \rho u^t \
U = | T^t_\mu + rho u^t | sqrt(-det(g_{\mu\nu}))
\ B^i /
/ \rho \
P = | uu |
| \tilde{u}^i |
\ B^i /
where T_{\mu \nu} is the stress-energy tensor, u^\mu is the 4-velocity,
\rho is the rest-mass density, uu is the internal energy density,
B^i = *F^{i t}, *F^{\mu \nu} is the dual of the electromagnetic field tensor,
and \tilde{u}^i is the spatial projection of the 4-velocity (see paper
for further details).
U[], gcov[][], gcon[][], and gdet must all be set to their correct
values at input, and a "reasonable" guess for the primitive variables
must be saved in prim[] at input. At output, all are the same except
prim[] = P(U[]) now, unless the method encountered an error and/or
did not converge to a solution. In this case, prim[] at output
equals what it was at input. Also, Utoprim_$NAME() will return a non-zero
integer if it encountered such a problem.
Currently, only a \Gamma-law equation of state (EOS) is used. The following
routines can easily be changed to use a different EOS:
Utoprim_1d(), Utoprim_2d(), Utoprim_1dvsq2()
To change the EOS with these methods, only the routines at the bottom
of their associated source files need be changed. The routines
can be identified by the comment above them that states that they
define the EOS.
Utoprim_5d() can, in principle, be used with a general EOS, but we have
not written it with EOS-portability in mind. In order to make Utoprim_5d()
compatible with a different EOS, the user will have to write a new dudp_calc_g()
that calculates the Jacobian dU_i/dP_k correctly for that EOS.
Compile-time parameters in u2p_defs.h that you may wish to change
are the following:
GAMMA : adiabatic index of the \Gamma-law equation of state
NPR : number of conserved and primitive variables (assumed to be the same)
NDIM : number of spacetime dimensions (assumed to be the same)
FTYPE : type used for floating-point arithmetic (default double)
NEWT_TOL : "TOL" of the paper
MAX_NEWT_ITER : "N_{NR}" of the paper
EXTRA_NEWT_ITER : "N_{extra}" of the paper
