thornado (toolkit for high-order neutrino radiation-hydrodynamics) is designed for simulations of relativistic nuclear astrophysics applications, including core-collapse supernovae.
The code employs discontinuous Galerkin phase-space discretization together with implicit and explicit time-stepping methods.
thornado is BSD-licensed and publicly hosted on GitHub.
