BOUT++ Project

Plasma simulation in curvilinear coordinate systems

  • BOUT++ is a framework for writing fluid and plasma simulations in curvilinear geometry. It is intended to be quite modular, with a variety of numerical methods and time-integration solvers available. BOUT++ is primarily designed and tested with reduced plasma fluid models in mind, but it can evolve any number of equations, with equations appearing in a readable form.

    Jointly developed by University of York (UK), LLNL, CCFE, DCU, DTU, and other international partners.
