2 Getting started: Minimal working app
This chapter covers
- Compiling and running your first Fortran program
- Data types, declaration, arithmetic, and control flow
- Building and running your first simulation app
In this chapter, we’ll implement the minimal working version of the tsunami simulator. For simplicity, we’ll start by simulating the movement of water in space due to background flow, without changing its shape. This problem is sufficiently complex to introduce basic elements of Fortran: numeric data types, declaration, arithmetic expressions and assignment, and control flow. Once we successfully simulate the movement of an object in this chapter, we’ll refactor the code to add other physics processes in chapters 3 and 4, which will ...
