TORUS
TORUS (a historical acronym: Transfer Of Radiation Under Sobolev) is a Monte Carlo radiation transport and hydrodynamics code, originally developed by Tim Harries who is currently an associate professor at the University of Exeter. ! Note that there is now a TORUS code paper here
TORUS is one of the main tools that I use in my research.
For more information, user manual and public release version, see the TORUS website. To request features not in the public release, contact Tim Harries or Thomas Haworth.
