PyClaw examples

These directories contain several prepared examples of how to run PyClaw. There are multiple ways to run and plot an example:

Method 1: From the command line

cd examples/acoustics_1d_homogeneous
python acoustics_1d.py iplot=1

The command-line option iplot=1 will cause an interactive plotting session to be launched after the simulation is complete.

Method 2: From IPython

ipython --matplotlib
from clawpack.pyclaw import examples
claw = examples.acoustics_1d.setup()
claw.run()
claw.plot()

Some of the more basic examples are the homogeneous acoustics, advection, burgers, traffic, and shallow water examples. Advanced examples include Rossby_wave (2D grid mapped to a sphere) shock_bubble_interaction (cylindrical symmetry with geometric source terms), and psystem_2d (shows how to set up gauges, a before_step function, and more).
