Enzo & Enzo-E

Open-source adaptive mesh refinement codes for astrophysics

Enzo is a community-developed adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) code for computational astrophysics and cosmology (Bryan et al., 2014). It combines hydrodynamics, N-body dark matter dynamics, multispecies chemistry, radiative cooling, star formation, and feedback, and has been used in hundreds of published studies — from the first stars to galaxy clusters.

Enzo-E is its successor: a rewrite of the AMR machinery on the Charm++ parallel framework, designed to scale on exascale machines while preserving the physics capabilities of the original code.

Both codes are open source and developed by a community of contributors on GitHub.
