The Patchdata Package

The Patchdata package defines concrete patch data types used in structured AMR applications. The data type support is divided into eleven subdirectories containing:

1. fundamental array-based data type support
2. routines to compute box geometry information for data intersections
3. cell-centered data
4. edge-centered data
5. face-centered data
6. node-centered data
7. outeredge data
8. outerface data
9. outernode data
10. outerside data
11. side-centered data
12. index data
13. macros for indexing arrays in FORTRAN rotuines

The package also defines a set of coarsen and refine operators that are independent of the mesh configuration:

1. Mesh-Independent operators mesh independent operators

Additionally there is a set of classes that handle data copying of various patch data types between different blocks within a multiblock domain.

1. Multiblock Patch Data Operations multiblock data translators

All class names in the Patchdata package are in the namespace "pdat".
