RHYBRID RHybrid (paRallel Hybrid) is a parallel C++/MPI kinetic plasma simulation model platform for the solar wind and plasma interactions of celestial bodies. The RHybrid code is originally developed at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. The RHybrid code is distributed under the GPL v3 open source license by the Finnish Meteorological Institute. The latest version of RHybrid can be downloaded at: https://github.com/fmihpc/rhybrid Folders: src/: RHybrid source code examples/: Example simulation config files doc/: Documentation SIMULATION CODE RHybrid is based on the following open source libraries for space plasma simulations developed at the Finnish Meteorological Institute: Corsair - Parallel Simulation Platform https://github.com/fmihpc/corsair ParGrid - Parallel Grid https://github.com/fmihpc/pargrid VLSV - Parallel File Format https://github.com/fmihpc/vlsv Zoltan library (https://sandialabs.github.io/Zoltan/) is used for partitioning and balacing computational load between MPI processing elements. COMPILATION See INSTALL for an example how to compile. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, CO-AUTHORSHIP AND CITING The RHybrid developers strongly encourage offering us co-authorship as well as acknowledging and citing the original model when publishing or presenting results where RHybrid code was used. We are open for scientific collaborations and further development of the model and are committed to open science. Example acknowledgement text: "Simulations were performed using the RHybrid code distributed under the open source GPL v3 license by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (github.com/fmihpc/rhybrid)."
