⁠Documentation

For Zapdos documentation, there are two websites available:

• https://shannon-lab.github.io/zapdos⁠ - the main Zapdos website, for source code documentation and general info.
• https://mooseframework.inl.gov⁠ - for information on the underpinnings of Zapdos and other available resources from MOOSE.

Alternatively, there are three main pieces of file-based documentation for Zapdos, all located in the /opt/zapdos/doc directory:

• Zapdos_Tutorial.pdf - A general tutorial of Zapdos capabilities, with explanations of the finite element method, code and input file structure, the Peacock GUI (from MOOSE), and examples of usage.
• Chemical_Reactions.ipynb - A Jupiter notebook containing notes on understanding existing chemistry kernels and/or implementing new ones in Zapdos/MOOSE.
• Lindsay_thesis_coupling_of_plasmas_and_liquids.pdf - Chapter 3 of the original PhD dissertation introducing Zapdos ("Coupling of Plasmas and Liquids" by Alex Lindsay).
