Print version Email story Tweet story
News The FLASH Code group is pleased to announce the immediate availability of FLASH2.2.

The FLASH code is a modular, adaptive, parallel simulation code capable of handling general compressible flow problems in astrophysical environments. FLASH is written in Fortran 90 and C, and is freely available. FLASH is distributed as source code, and has runs on most UNIX platforms. More information can be found at http://flash.uchicago.edu.

All users of previous versions are encouraged to upgrade. The download is available at:
https://flash.uchicago.edu/code_download/ (note the 's' in https). You will need your username and password from previous downloads.

New users can request the code at:
