GADGET-2 code

Lately I’ve been working on part of an NSF proposal and reading more papers.  The topic of the proposal was not outflow modeling as discussed below.  Today I began looking at the public GADGET-2.0.4 user guide and code.  The code is fairly short considering what it’s capable of. It’s documented well enough to actually understand.  My goals for the end of the quarter are

  1. to compile the code and run a test on one of my workstations.
  2. read the code in enough detail that I will be able to edit it
  3. use a visualization package to view output from my own code or the GADGET-2 code.

During the Winter or Spring quarter, it would be nice to acquire one of the newer, non-public releases of GADGET.  There are several people in the UC system who have access to the newer code.
