On this page we give a brief overview of the 3D particle code that was (and is being) developed in our group. A brief summary of the history: the development of a particle code was started by Chao Li, who developed a hybrid particle/fluid code. Margreet Nool restructured this code, from which Jannis Teunissen then extracted just the particle part. After much rewriting and many changes, the current version emerged.

Important note This code is still under development. Currently, we are transitioning to a newer version, for which much has been rewritten to make the code more general and clear. If you want incorporate parts of our particle model in your own code, please contact us for more details.

Here we'll describe the functionality of the most important components of the code.

Questions should be addressed to Jannis Teunissen.
