thornado+Flash-X: A Hybrid DG-IMEX and Finite-Volume Framework for Neutrino-Radiation Hydrodynamics in Core-Collapse Supernovae

Eirik Endeve, Vassilios Mewes, J. Austin Harris +15

We present neutrino-transport algorithms implemented in the toolkit for high-order neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics (thornado) and their coupling to self-gravitating hydrodynamics…

Nyx: A Massively Parallel AMR Code for Computational Cosmology

Ann Almgren, John Bell, Mike Lijewski +2

We present a new N-body and gas dynamics code, called Nyx, for large-scale cosmological simulations. Nyx follows the temporal evolution of a system of discrete dark matter particle…

CASTRO: A New Compressible Astrophysical Solver. III. Multigroup Radiation Hydrodynamics

W. Zhang, L. Howell, A. Almgren +3

We present a formulation for multigroup radiation hydrodynamics that is correct to order using the comoving-frame approach and the flux-limited diffusion approximation. We…
