Notes on numerical methods for computational astrophysical hydrodynamics.
These notes describe the way I think about the numerical methods commonly used with grid-based codes in astrophysical hydrodynamics. The notes are written in LaTeX, and should build by typing 'make' in the main directory.
A PDF version of these notes is available at:

There are two sets of companion codes that go along with these notes:
hydro_examples: https://github.com/zingale/hydro_examples
simple, standalone, 1-d solvers that illustrate the basic ideas.
pyro: https://github.com/zingale/pyro2
pyro is a 2-d full simulation code designed with simplicity in mind that implements the core solvers described in these notes along with various test problems.
