Old research pages
I'm keeping these old research pages here for the benefit of anyone
who might arrive here from an external page. They are no longer
updated. Please visit my new web site at
http://sipapu.astro.illinois.edu/~ricker/.
Eventually some content from these pages will migrate to the new site.
Welcome to the FLASH Cosmology Home Page.
FLASH is a modular, portable,
highly scalable, adaptive-mesh simulation code for astrophysical hydrodynamics
problems. It was originally developed at the
DOE ASCI Alliances Center for Astrophysical
Thermonuclear Flashes at the University
of Chicago for the purpose of simulating Type Ia supernovae, novae, and
X-ray bursts. It has since evolved to handle more general astrophysical
problems, including those involving collisionless particle dynamics.
FLASH is freely available from the
ASCI Flash Center.
This web site is devoted to the development of FLASH modules for cosmological
applications, particularly the simulation of large-scale structure.
It is maintained by Paul
Ricker, one of the original developers of
FLASH.
Support for this effort is provided by the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
and the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications (NCSA).
