AMR1D - Adaptive Mesh Refinement for a Fluid Finite Element Code

abstract

AMR1D is an extremely simple ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT CODE
for solving the one-dimensional Euler equations on an unstructured grid.
Because it was written primarily as a learning tool, it uses a data structure
similar to what would be needed on a higher dimensional simulation. The
code models particularly well flow discontinuities, as encountered on SOD's
shock tube problem.
