Welcome to our suite of numerical tests for codes used in Astrophysics!
This suite of numerical problems are designed to test hydrodynamics
codes in situations that commonly occur in Astrophysical simulations.
Each of the problems presented has an analytical or otherwise known
solution, making it easy to access how well a code performs.
A quantitative discussion of these tests in conjunction with the
results performed with four codes (Gadget2, Hydra, Enzo and Flash) is to be
published in
Tasker, Brunino, Mitchell, Michielsen, Hopton, Pearce, Bryan &
Theuns, MNRAS, 2008.
Codes that complete the tests and wish to have their results added to
this website should email the data files to tasker(at)astro.ufl.edu .
If you'd like to be kept informed when new results are added to this site,
please join our mailing list by sending an email to
listserv@lists.ufl.edu
