Description

gkeyll website  
Gkeyll v2.0 (pronounced as in the book “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”) is a computational plasma physics code mostly written in C and LuaJIT. Gkeyll contains solvers for gyrokinetic equations, Vlasov-Maxwell equations, and multi-fluid equations. Gkeyll is developed at multiple institutions, with the present leadership residing at Princeton University’s Department of Astrophysical Sciences and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a Department of Energy (DOE) national lab, managed by Princeton University. Other major partners are Virginia Tech, MIT, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), University of Maryland, Indiana University, and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).

The Gkeyll package contains two major parts: the gkyl simulation framework and the the postgkyl post-processing package. You will find documentation for the full Gkeyll package by clicking on the link given above.
