GRACKLE¶
Description¶
Grackle is a chemistry and radiative cooling library for astrophysical simulations and models. Grackle has interfaces for C, C++, Fortran, and Python codes and provides: Two options for primordial chemistry and cooling: - Non-equilibrium primordial chemistry network for atomic H, D, and He as well as H2 and HD, including H2 formation on dust grains. - Tabulated H and He cooling rates calculated with the photo-ionization code, Cloudy. Tabulated metal cooling rates calculated with Cloudy. Photo-heating and photo-ionization from two UV backgrounds: 1. Faucher-Giguere et al. (2009). 2. Haardt & Madau (2012). Support for user-provided arrays of volumetric and specific heating rates. The Grackle provides functions to update chemistry species; solve radiative cooling and update internal energy; and calculate cooling time, temperature, pressure, and ratio of specific heats (gamma).
