Download TAR-files

All tar-files are compressed with gzip. Access the files with the username anonymous and the current password received via email.

The fluid-structure coupling routines of the VTF (cf. vtf/stlib/packages/elc) assume a partitioned approach and make use of MPI. Compilation of the directory vtf/fsi, included in VTF-1.0.tgz, FSI-Only-1.0.tgz, and AMROC-Clawpack-1.0.tgz (partially), requires configuration with --enable-mpi=yes or MPI=yes in vtf/setup. See Installation and Configuration.

  • Download only selected pieces

    • Stand-alone AMROC-WENO-TCD fluid solver plus applications: AMROC-WENO-1.0.tgz (3.9M)
    • Stand-alone Thin-shell solid solver SFC plus applications: SFC-1.0.tgz (4.6M)
    • Stand-alone FSI applications using AMROC-Clawpack and SFC: FSI-Only-1.0.tgz (17M)

  • Third-party libaries (Binary libaries are provided for convenience only. See Installation and Configuration for details):
    • Binary HDF4.2r1 libraries for selected systems (HDF4 is mandatory for AMROC, configure argument $HDF4_DIR): HDF4.2r1.tgz (3.7M)
    • Binary Visual3 libraries for selected systems (optional for AMROC, configure argument $VISUAL3_DIR): Visual3.tgz (3.0M)
    • Source for Cantera library (optional for AMROC-WENO-TCD, configure argument $CANTERA_DIR): Cantera.tgz (1.4M)

Anonymous CVS access

Use
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.cacr.caltech.edu:/vtf login

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.cacr.caltech.edu:/vtf checkout vtf

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.cacr.caltech.edu:/vtf logout

to obtain a checkout of the entire VTF repository.

In order to make a more selective checkout, download the script CheckoutVTF.sh, make it executable and run it.

When being asked for the current password, provide the one you had received via automated email.
