What is Spheral++?

Spheral++ is a numerical tool for simulating the evolution of a set of fluid or solid materials subject to hydrodynamic, gravitational, and radiative effects. There are two expressed purposes for Spheral++. One, to study astrophysical systems, such as the formation and evolution of cosmological large-scale structure, clusters of galaxies, or individual/interacting galaxies. Two, Spheral++ is also intended as a useful framework to develop and improve novel particle based numerical schemes, such as SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics).
