Expanding HII regions at the start of a self-consistent RHD simulation of the evolution of the Diffuse Ionised Gas (DIG) in disc galaxies (Vandenbroucke & Wood, 2019)
D-type expansion of an HII region surrounding a massive O star that is accreting through a Bondi-like accretion torus (Sartorio et al., 2019)
HII region surrounding a massive O star that is accreting through a spherically symmetric Bondi accretion flow. Simulated using self-consistent 3D RHD simulations using two different grid types. This simulation illustrates the asymmetries caused in a self-consistent 3D treatment of this problem due to the marginal stability of the two-temperature Bondi accretion solution (Vandenbroucke et al., 2019)
Comparison of the Halpha line emission from 3 different post-processed SILCC simulations (Vandenbroucke et al., 2018)
Shared memory execution time line for a Strömgren benchmark test on 4 threads, showing the excellent load-balancing of the task-based shared memory parallelization strategy (Vandenbroucke & Wood, 2018).
