SEREN is a new astrophysical Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code developed by researchers in Cardiff University and the University of Sheffield. SEREN was designed to investigate star and planet formation problems using self-gravitating hydrodynamics simulations of molecular clouds, star-forming cores, and protostellar disks.
SEREN is written in Fortran 95/2003 with a modular philosophy for adding new features into the code. Each feature can be easily activated or deactivated by way of setting options in the Makefile before compiling the code. This has the added benefit of allowing unwanted features to be removed at the compilation stage resulting in a smaller and faster executable program. SEREN is written with OpenMP directives to allow parallelisation on shared-memory architecture. A MPI version of SEREN is currently in development.
SEREN was written by David Hubber, Chris Batty, Andrew McLeod. Contributions to the code have also been provided by Anthony Whitworth, Thomas Bisbas, Dimitrios Stamatellos, Stefanie Walch, Krisada Rawiraswattana and Simon Goodwin.
