Energy Research and Forecasting (ERF): An atmospheric modeling code ----
ERF is built upon the AMReX software framework for massively parallel block-structured applications.
| Regression Tests |
See Getting Started for instructions as to how to clone the ERF and AMReX codes, and for how to build and run an ERF example. Mimimum requirements for system software are also given there.
Documentation of the ERF theory and implementation is available here .
In addition, there is doxygen documentation of the ERF Code available here
See CONTRIBUTING.md for how to contribute to ERF development.
The development of the Energy Research and Forecasting (ERF) code is funded by the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE).
The developers of ERF acknowledge and thank the developers of the AMReX-based PeleC , FHDeX and AMR-Wind codes. In the spirit of open source code development, the ERF project has ported sections of code from each of these projects rather than writing them from scratch. ERF is built on the AMReX library.
