# Summary
34+
35+
pyro
36+
37+
In the time since the first pyro paper [@pyroI], the code has
38+
undergone considerable development, gained a large number of solvers,
39+
adopted unit testing through pytest and documentation through sphinx,
40+
and a number of new contributors. pyro's functionality can now
41+
be accessed directly through a `Pyro()` class, in addition to the
42+
original commandline script interface. This new interface in particular
43+
allows for easy use within Jupyter notebooks.
44+
45+
The original goal of pyro was to learn hydrodynamics methods through
46+
example, and it still serves this goal. At Stony Brook, pyro is used
47+
with new undergraduate researchers in our group to introduce them to
48+
the ideas of computational hydrodynamics. But the current framework
49+
has evolved to the point where pyro is used for prototyping
50+
hydrodynamics solvers before implementing them into science codes. An
51+
example of this is the 4th-order compressible solver built on the ideas
52+
of spectral deferred corrections (the `compressible_sdc` solver). This
53+
implementation was used as the model for the development of higher-order
54+
schemes in the Castro hydrodynamics code [@castro]. The low Mach
55+
number atmospheric solver (`lm_atm`) is based on the Maestro code [@maestro]
56+
and the pyro implementation will be used to prototype new low Mach number
57+
algorithms before porting them to science codes.
58+
59+
The current pyro solvers are:
60+
61+
* linear advection (including a second-order unsplit CTU scheme, a
62+
method-of-lines piecewise linear solver☆, a 4th-order
63+
finite-volume scheme☆, and a WENO method☆)
64+
65+
* compressible hydrodynamics (including a second-order unsplit CTU
66+
scheme, a method-of-lines piecewise linear solver☆,
67+
and two 4th-order finite-volume schemes, one with Runge-Kutta
68+
integration and the other using a spectral deferred corrections method☆)
69+
70+
* diffusion using a second-order discretization
71+
72+
* incompressible
73+
74+
* low Mach number atmospheric solver
75+
76+
* shallow water equations solver
77+
78+
(solvers since the first pyro paper are marked with a &star).
