- Stellar Astrophysics Software - [open source - Windows] Various programs for stellar astrophysics. Includes CHANDRA stellar structure software for collapsed objects including rotating white dwarfs and neutron stars, and STARCAL for nuclear astrophysics and the stellar structure of main sequence stars with supernova forecasting.
- ZEUS-MP Version 2 - ZEUS is a venerable astrophysical hydrodynamics and MHD code that has been used to investigate a wide variety of astrophysical problems. The latest version includes gas hydrodynamics, ideal MHD, implicit flux-limited radiation diffusion (FLD), self gravity, and multispecies advection.
- FLASH -- AMR reacting hydrodynamics - The FLASH code is a reacting hydrodynamics code with adaptive mesh refinement for general astrophysical hydrodynamics problems.
- Gadget-2 - The Gadget-2 code is an SPH simulation code designed for cosmological simulations but can be used for a wide variety of astrophysical hydrodynamics simulations with self-gravity.
