JUPITER

JUPITER is a hydrodynamic code developed by Frederic Masset & Judit Szulagyi (Szulagyi et al. 2016). It is used for planet-disk interactions, planet formation simulations, any type of accretion disks in astrophysics: disks of planets, stars, black holes, galactic disks. It solves the basic hydrodynamical equations, the radiative transfer, including all major heating and cooling mechanisms (stellar irradiation, shock heating, accretional heating, viscous heating, radiative dissipation, etc.), gas-dust interaction with multi-fluid approach.

The code has various coordinate systems (Cartesian, Polar and Spherical), rotating and non-rotating frames, and mesh refinement for increased resolution. It uses Riemann-solvers, which is a high accuracy method, that has also shock solutions, therefore correctly treating the shocks in disks, that are important e.g. for angular momentum transport.
