CERF : Computation, ERosion and Flow

CERF is a finite volume code for simulating free surface flows. CERF is a research code developed at the Mathematics Institute of Toulon under the direction of Frédéric Golay. CERF solves the Saint-Venant and bi-fluid isothermal Euler equations. These hyperbolic systems of equations allow for explicit and parallel time integration. The data structure of CERF is based on a BB-AMR (Block Based Adaptive Mesh Refinement) approach that allows for adaptive meshes in time and space. CERF is a parallel computing code that uses the MPI library for communication between different processes. CERF is written in Fortran 90. In its V1.0 version, the mesh of CERF consists exclusively of hexahedra.
