TL;DR: The first version of a new-generation simulation code, FLASH, solves the fully compressible, reactive hydrodynamic equations and allows for the use of adaptive mesh refinement and contains state-of-the-art modules for the equations of state and thermonuclear reaction networks.

TL;DR: FLASH as discussed by the authors is a new generation simulation code, which solves the fully compressible, reactive hydrodynamic equations and allows for the use of adaptive mesh refinement, and also contains state-of-the-art modules for the equations of state and thermonuclear reaction networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the turbulent Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the limit of strong mode-coupling using a variety of high-resolution, multimode, three dimensional numerical simulations (NS).

TL;DR: A community toolkit which is designed to provide parallel support with adaptive mesh capability for a large and important class of computational models, those using structured, logically Cartesian meshes, called PARAMESH.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of validating an astrophysical simulation code is presented, focusing on validating FLASH, a parallel adaptive-mesh hydrodynamics code for studying the compressible, reactive flows found in many astrophysical environments.
