Hydro Code

A Supernova hydro code

Most simulations for my research rely on my own multi-D hydrodynamics code. The code is built based on the 1D prototype developed by my former graduate classmate Mr. Ka-Wing Wong. After I picked up the code, I extend to multi-D, and insert all necessary physics for modeling supernova. 

The code uses the 5th order WENO scheme for spatial discretization and 3rd order 5-step NSSP Runge-Kutta scheme for time discretization. 

The code includes physics and has been used for simulations for:
