Tutorials Overview

There are download links throughout the tutorials, but you can also download all the tutorial files (except for the meshes) as a tarball.

Uncompressing the tarball should create a neat file structure organized by <tutorial case>/<solver type>, you can do this with.

tar -xzf tutorial_files.tar.gz
Similarly, to download all the meshes at once and place them in the expanded source tree you can run

wget -r -np -erobots=off -nH --cut-dirs=1 -P tutorial_files/ https://data.nas.nasa.gov/lava/
find tutorial_files/ -name "index.html" -delete
This will download GBs of data and thus may take some time. The second command simply cleans the unwanted index.html files used by wget. You can download the meshes one at a time from the NAS data-portal website or from the links embedded in the tutorials throughout.
