As of August 2018 Spheral++ has moved to Github -- please see the current repository at
https://github.com/jmikeowen/spheral
We are leaving a frozen version here on SourceForge for historical reasons.
Spheral++ provides a steerable parallel environment for performing coupled hydrodynamical & gravitational numerical simulations. Hydrodynamics and gravity are modelled using particle based methods (SPH and N-Body).
La P.A.P.A. (Python Alternative for Programming Astrophysics) want to give an alternative to the astrophysicists (and any one that use RSI-IDL) for start programming in Pythonusing similar functions as IDL and at the same time learn the power of Python.
