Tip! Refine or expand your search. Authors are sometimes listed as 'Smith, J. K.' instead of 'Smith, John' so it is useful to search for last names only. Note this is currently a simple phrase search.

[ascl:2010.004] TACHE: TensoriAl Classification of Hydrodynamic Elements

TACHE (TensoriAl Classification of Hydrodynamic Elements) performs classification of the eigenvalues of either the tidal tensor or the velocity shear tensor at the point of a smoothed particle. This provides local information as to how matter is collapsing or flowing, respectively, in particular what stable manifold is being produced. The code reads in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) snapshot files in sphNG format and computes neighbor lists for SPH data and either the (symmetric) velocity shear tensor or tidal tensor and their eigenvalues/eigenvectors. It classifies fluid elements by number of "positive" eigenvalues and permits decomposition of snapshots into classified components; it also includes several Python plotting scripts.

[ascl:2010.005] GRAPUS: GRAvitational instability PopUlation Synthesis

GRAPUS (GRAvitational instability PopUlation Synthesis) executes population synthesis modeling of self-gravitating disc fragmentation and tidal downsizing in protostellar discs. It reads in pre-run 1D viscous disc models of self-gravitating discs and computes where fragmentation will occur and the initial fragment mass. GRAPUS then allows these fragment embryos to evolve under various forces, including quasistatic collapse of the embryo, growth and sedimentation of the dust inside the embryo, and the formation of solid cores. The software also evolves migration due to embryo-disc interactions and tidal disruption of the embryo, and can optionally determine gravitational interactions with neighboring embryos.
