Here we list some major contributions to FLASH4 from outside the
Flash Center that are included in the distribution. For completeness, we
also list such contributions in FLASH3 which have long been
included in the release.
- Huang-Greengard based multigrid solver, contributed by Paul
Ricker. This contribution was first distributed in
FLASH3. Reference: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2008ApJS..176..293R
- Direct solvers for Uniform Grid contributed by Marcos
Vanella. The solvers have been in the release since
FLASH3. Reference: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cpe.2821
- Additional Poisson solvers (Martin-Cartwright Geometric Multigrid
ported from FLASH2, and new BiPCGStab),
and Incompressible Navier-Stokes solver unit,
from Marcos Vanella; added to the release code in FLASH4.4.
- Hybrid-PIC code, contributed by Mats Holmström. The
contribution has been in the distribution since
FLASH4-alpha. Reference: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011arXiv1104.1440H
- Primordial Chemistry contributed by William Gray. This
contribution was added in FLASH4.0. Reference:
http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/718/1/417/.
- Barnes Hut tree gravity solver contributed by Richard Wunsch. This
contribution has been further extended in FLASH 4.2.2 and in the current release and has been
developed in collaboration with Frantisek Dinnbier (responsible for periodic
and mixed boundary conditions) and Stefanie Walch.
- Sink Particles contributed by Christoph Federrath et al. This
contribution has received significant updates over several release. Please refer to
http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/713/1/269/ for details.
- Since FLASH4.2.2, there is a new 'FromFile' implementation of the Stir unit,
contributed by Christoph Federrath. The new implementations is
sitting beside the older 'Generate' implementation.
- New Flame and Turb units contributed by Dean Townsley, with code developed
by Aaron Jackson and Alan Calder.
A corresponding paper (Jackson, Townsley, & Calder 2014) on modeling turbulent flames
has been published, see http://stacks.iop.org/0004-637X/784/i=2/a=174.
