Welcome to the (PIP) wiki (still under development)!

The (PIP) code is for performing numerical simulation of hydrodynamic (HD), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and partially-ionised two-fluid (PIP) equations.

Key link are in the sidebar -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

If you use the code, please cite Hillier+2016. If you use the ionisation routines, please cite Snow+2021.


Partially ionised

The partially ionised solver is to investigate the interactions of a neutral fluid, and a charge-neutral ion electron plasma. These fluids are coupled using collisional terms that include thermal and velocity drift collisions (chosen in the settings file).

Details of the code and equations are available in Hillier et al 2016 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016A%26A...591A.112H).
