 I. GETTING and BUILDING vHLLE on Linux

 1) The following software must be installed in order to compile the code:
 make, g++, binutils, ROOT
 
 To install those packages,
 -> on Ubuntu 11.x - 16.x run:
 sudo apt-get install make g++ binutils root-system
 -> on Fedora 18 and above run: 
 sudo yum install make gcc binutils root
 
 The latest version of the ROOT package is also available at http://root.cern.ch/
 From commit f1dbe5a onwards, ROOT6 is required to compile the code.
 As of commit 589b7cb , C++17 is required (because of calls to std::filesystem),
 therefore make sure `root-config --cflags` retruns '-std=c++17' among the options.
 
 Optionally, to run Gluplot scripts provided in the program package one has to
 install Gnuplot and awk (gawk).
  
 2) clone the main vHLLE repository:
 git clone https://github.com/yukarpenko/vhlle.git
 cd vhlle
 git checkout stable_ebe
 mkdir obj
 make

 3) clone another repository, which contains the equation of state,
    sample initial state tables and related sample parameter files:
 cd ..
 git clone https://github.com/yukarpenko/vhlle_params.git
 cd vhlle_params
 
 4) Copy the eos/, ic/ and params/ subdirectories from vhlle_params/
 into the directory containing the vhlle code, vhlle/, e.g. by executing:
 mv ic eos ../vhlle/
 mv params/* ../vhlle/params/
 
 II. RUNNING vHLLE
 
 1. to run vHLLE, cd into the vhlle subdirectory and type:
 ./hlle_visc -params <parameter-file> [-system <system>] -ISinput <IS-file> -outputDir <output-directory>
 
<parameter-file> is the file name (including relative path) of a parameter file.
<system> is an optional command-line parameter, which is mandatory for GLISSANDO
 and TrENTo initial state options, and specifies a setup for a particular collision
 energy. The standard values are: RHIC200, LHC276, which corresponds to sqrt(s)=200 GeV
 RHIC and sqrt(s)=2760 GeV LHC energies, respectively. See the implementation of
 IcGlissando::IcGlissando() in src/icGlissando.cpp for more details.
<IS-file> is the file name of an initial state table. This file has to be supplied
 for all but the simplest initial state options (optical Glauber or Gubser).
<output-directory> is the directory to write the output files into. If the directory
 does not exist, it will be created. If not specified a 'data' subfolder in the current directory 
 will be created or used if already existing.

 A sample command:
 ./hlle_visc -params params/glissRHIC/gliss2RHIC.20-30 -system RHIC200 -ISinput ic/glissando/sources.RHIC.20-30.dat -outputDir output/RHIC.20-30
 executes vHLLE with an averaged initial state table pre-computed from GLISSANDO code, and corresponding to 20-30% central Au-Au collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV.
 
Other sample parameter files can be found in a code package linked to the reference
publication [Comput. Phys. Commun. 185 (2014), 3016]. The parameter files are located
in params/ subdirectory and cover several of the results published in the ref. publication:

 1) comparison to VISH2+1 code in Section 4.3 ("Matter expansion in heavy ion
  collisions"). The corresponding parameter files are:
params/song2DCPC.*
The filename suffixes correspond to:
 b0 = impact parameter 0 fm
 b7 = impact parameter 7 fm
 etas008 = viscous hydro simulation with eta/s=0.08
 ideal = ideal hydro simulation
 
 In order to reproduce the comparison plots (Figures 9, 10) one should run the
 code with all 4 input files. This will create subdirectories "song2D.*" with 
 hydrodynamic output for each parameter set. Then Gunplot scripts hydro_output/*.plot 
 will read and parse the hydrodynamic output and draw the corresponding plots.  
 Then run Gnuplot with "hydro_output" as working directory, and load one of the 
 scripts in Gnuplot prompt:

 cd hydro_output
 gnuplot
 gnuplot> load 'radFlow.plot'  # which creates "vradSong.eps" postscript containing Figure 9,
 gnuplot> load 'epsilonp.plot'  # which creates "epsilonpSong.eps" postscript containing Figure 10
 
 2)numerical solution for ideal Gubser flow (end of Section 4.1).
  The corresponding parameter file is:
params/gubserCPC

 To produce the plots run Gnuplot with "hydro_output" as working directory. In Gnuplot prompt, type:
 gnuplot> load 'gubser.plot'
 which creates "gubserEps.eps" and "gubserVx.eps", which are Figures 5 and 6,
 respectively.

 3)3D hydro simulation described in Section 4.4 ("Energy conservation").
  The corresponding parameter file is:
params/3DCPC

 Note that this simulation uses full 3D grid. With the parameters provided, the 
 program consumes about 1900 Mbytes of RAM. Therefore please make sure that the 
 host machine has enough RAM to run this simulation.

 The purpose of this simulation is to check the energy/entropy conservation 
 during 3D hydrodynamic expansion of a closed system. The corresponding results 
 are presented in Table 1 of the paper. To reproduce the results, please watch 
 the console output of the program, which contains total energy and total entropy 
 after each timestep.
 Note that by default the code uses the equation of state 'p=epsilon/3'. 
 To reproduce the numbers in the middle column of the Table 1 corresponding to 
 'Laine' EoS, please recompile the code with  'EXTRA_FLAGS   = -D TABLE' in Makefile.
 The typical console output of the program is the following:
 
-----
.....
step= 0  dtau= 0.05

calcTotals: E =        1402.31  Efull =        1402.33
           Px =              0      S =        6869.23
.....
------
where
      E : total energy of the system [GeV], computed from ideal part of the
          energy-momentum system only,
  Efull : total energy of system including viscous terms in energy-momentum tensor,
     Px : x-component of the total momentum
      S : total enrgopy including viscous terms


 III. STRUCTURE OF THE OUTPUT FILES
 
 Each hydrodynamic simulation records its results in a separate directory, which 
 is specified by the value of 'outputDir' parameter in the corresponding parameter 
 file. Below we denote the cells used for the output as  cell(ix,iy,iz), where
 ix=[0...nx-1]  is x-coordinate of cell on 3D grid
 iy=[0...ny-1]  is y-coordinate of cell on 3D grid
 iz=[0...nz-1]  is z-coordinate of cell on 3D grid

 As a result of the simulation the output directory contains the following files:
 outx.dat    :   distributions in cells along X direction at every timestep.
                 The cells used are cell(ix,ny/2,nz/2),  ix=0...nx-1
 outy.dat    :   distributions in cells along Y direction at every timestep.
                 The cells used are cell(nx/2,iy,nz/2),  iy=0...ny-1
 outz.dat    :   distributions in cells along Z direction at every timestep.
                 The cells used are cell(nx/2,ny/2,iz),  iz=0...nz-1
 outdiag.dat :   distributions in cells along diagonal direction in XY plane
                 at every timestep. The cells used are cell(ix,ix,iz), ix=0...nx-1
                 Works reliabaly if nx=ny
 out.aniz.dat:   grid-integrated quantities $\epsilon_p$, $\epsilon_p'$ 
                 (see Subsection 4.3 "Matter expansion in ...")
 
 The format of the columns in the output files is:
 
 outx.dat:
 t  x  vx  vy  eps  nb  T  mub  [pi*10]  Pi  cut_flag
 
 outy.dat:
 t  y  vy  vx  eps  nb  T  mub  [pi*10]  Pi  cut_flag

 outz.dat:
 t  z  vz  vx  eps  nb  T  mub  [pi*10]  Pi  cut_flag

 outdiag.dat:
 t  sqrt(x*x+y*y)  vx  vy  eps  nb  T  mub  [pi*10]  Pi  cut_flag
 
 out.aniz.dat:
 t  <vt>  <epsilon_p>  <epsilon_p'>
 
 where
 t : proper time [fm/c]
 x : x coordinate [fm]
 y : y coordinate [fm]
 z : rapidity
 vx : x-component of 3-velocity
 vy : x-component of 3-velocity
 vz : longitudinal flow rapifity
 eps : energy density in fluid rest frame [GeV/fm^3]
 nb : baryon density in fluid rest frame [1/fm^3]
 T  : temperature [GeV]
 mub : baryon chemical potential [GeV]
 [pi*10] : $\pi^{mu\nu}$ components: $\pi^{\tau\tau}$, $\pi^{\tau x}$, 
           $\pi^{\tau y}$, $\pi^{\tau\eta}$, $\pi^{xx}$, $\pi^{xy}$, $\pi^{x\eta}$, 
           $\pi^{yy}$, $\pi^{y\eta}$, $\pi^{\eta\eta}$. All the components 
           correspond to $\tilde{\pi^{\mu\nu}}$, see Section 2. Unirs are [GeV/fm^3]
 Pi : bulk pressure [GeV/fm^3]
 cut_flag : viscous corrections are cut by cut_flag factor in the cell 
            (not cut if cut_flag = 1.0)
