Examples from the book FVMHP

The book Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems contains many examples that link to Clawpack codes used to create the figures in the book. These codes are available for Clawpack 4.3 via the book webpage

These are slowly being converted to Clawpack 4.4 form, with a setrun.py file for setting run time data and a setplot.py file for specifying plots with Python. See:

• Specifying run-time parameters in setrun.py
• Using setplot.py to specify the desired plots

Available examples

The examples converted so far can be found in the directory $CLAW/book .

You can also browse these from the Gallery of book examples.
