+AstroBEAR uses hypre's linear solver to solve Poisson's equation for the potential.  However, there are two methods for including the source terms for momentum and energy.  The non-conservative approach simply includes the terms during a source update, while the conservative approach recasts the RHS of the momentum and energy equations as total divergences - so they can be differenced conservatively.
