COPTIC Cartesian-coordinate Oblique-boundary Particles and Thermals in Cell
This code is for computational simulation of flowing plasma interacting with objects of various specifiable geometries. It is extensively documented in the Reference Manual.
Quick-start: $ cd COPTIC $ make
If that works you are up and running. The first time, some code tests will be run in the background after the make process has finished. If checksums don't match, an error will be reported. However, don't be too alarmed if that happens, since different compilers might give different results.
