The toolkit for high-order neutrino radiation-hydrodynamics (thornado) is developed for simulation of relativistic nuclear astrophysics applications, such as core-collapse supernovae, using discontinuous Galerkin phase-space discretization and a combination of implicit and explicit time stepping methods.

thornado is BSD-licensed and publicly hosted on GitHub.

Part of this code of conduct is adapted from Flash-X. All collaborators are expected to be respectful of one another. Discussions and disagreements should remain polite and free of abusive language.
