INTRODUCING THE LABORATORY FOR COMPUTATIONAL ASTROPHYSICS

   The LCA is a joint venture between the NSF, the National Center for 
   Supercomputing Applications, and the Department of Astronomy at the 
   University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Its purpose is to develop 
   and disseminate numerical algorithms and community codes for CFD,
   primarily for astrophysics.

   The LCA currently provides the following packages:

   * ZEUS-2D: a one- or two-dimensional (moving) Eulerian grid code 
              for radiation magnetohydrodynamics.

   * ZEUS-3D: a one-, two- or three-dimensional explicit (moving)
              Eulerian grid code for magnetohydrodynamics.

   * TITAN:   a one-dimensional implicit adaptive mesh code for 
              radiation hydrodynamics.

   * 4D2:     an interactive tool for visualizing and animating 3D 
              data (array, particle) on Silicon Graphics workstations.

   The community application codes (ZEUS-2D, ZEUS-3D, TITAN) are available 
   to academic researchers via a royalty-free license agreement. Some LCA 
   tools (4D2) are in the public domain and available via anonymous ftp.
