Shock-Sphere Test ​

Shock-sphere interaction test — NASTO NVF backend.

This test performs a shock-sphere interaction simulation using ADAM NASTO compiled with the NVF backend. The test is configured to run quickly on a single NVIDIA GPU.

Prerequisites ​

Compile NASTO NVF app — see NVF Backend documentation.

Running the Test ​

The test directory contains:

.
├── adam_nasto_nvf -> exe/adam_nasto_nvf      # symlink to compiled executable
├── adam-nasto-shock-sphere.ini               # simulation configuration
├── check-schlieren.png                       # reference image for validation
├── check-schlieren.pvsm                      # ParaView state file
├── clean.sh                                  # cleanup script
└── run_test.sh                               # test runner

Clean ​

bash
./clean.sh

Run ​

bash
./run_test.sh

Output is written to stdout and saved to run_test.log.

Debug mode ​

bash
./run_test.sh -debug

Runs via compute-sanitizer for additional diagnostics.

Expected Results ​

After a successful run, HDF5 output files are produced at multiple time steps. Visualize results with ParaView using the provided check-schlieren.pvsm state file. The results should show the schlieren visualization of the shock-sphere interaction.
