- Solves the equations of hydrodynamics (continuity, Navier-Stokes and conservation of energy) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on an Eulerian mesh.
- Multifluid capability. Each fluid can have its own Equation of State (EOS) and pressureless fluids can be used to simulate dust.
- Multidimensional (1D, 2D & 3D).
- Several geometries (Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical).
- Non inertial reference frames (including shearing box for Cartesian setups).
- Designed mainly for disks, but works well for general problems.
- Includes ideal MHD (Method Of Characteristics & Constrained Transport).
- Includes magnetic field diffusion (resistivity module).
- Includes the full viscous stress tensor in the three geometries.
- Simple N-body integrator, for embedded planets.
- FARGO algorithm implemented in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
- The FARGO or "orbital advection" scheme is also implemented for MHD.
- Possible runtime visualization.
- Low memory footprint.
- Multiplatform:
- Sequential Mode, one process on a CPU.
- Parallel Mode, for clusters of CPU (distributed memory, with MPI).
- One GPU (CUDA without MPI).
- Parallel GPU Mode, for clusters of GPUs (mixed MPI-CUDA version).
