Contributing

Please contribute! All user contributions or suggestions are greatly appreciated. In particular, please send:

If you are *really* keen, you may also like to consider:

  • Exact solution routines for test problem(s). Even just an analytic description from which I can write the code.

  • Suggestions/tips on possible visualisation techniques

  • More colour schemes (simply email me a table of the rgb colour indices, or failing that simply an image of the colour scheme and I will add it).

For discussion, feel free to raise an issue on the tracker.

Otherwise, you can send an email to the mailing list or get in touch directly.

Acknowledgements

Josh Calcino contributed significantly to development of the unified splash binary used in version 3. James Wetter led original development of the giza backend used in version 2 onwards. Several of the routines were developed from ideas used by Matthew Bate and splash has been refined by many useful discussions with Matthew. The polytrope exact solution is from a routine by Joe Monaghan. I am indebted to one Thomas S. Ullrich at the University of Heidelberg who wrote the prompting module which is used throughout the program and to Roland Schmehl who wrote the excellent function parser module (made available at http://fparser.sourceforge.net). Last but not least, a huge thanks especially to all the users who have given feedback which has helped to improve splash including, but not limited to:
