Abstract:
ANTARES (A Numerical Tool for Astrophysical RESearch) is a multi-purpose numerical tool to solve different variants of the equations of hydrodynamics as they appear in problems of astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering sciences and which require the construction of detailed numerical simulation models. A presentation of the current feature set of the code with a focus on recent add-ons is given here in addition to a summary on several results from recent applications of ANTARES to solar physics, the physics of planets, and basic convection studies including the damping of pressure modes (solar oscillations) in numerical simulations of convection at the solar surface and the coupling of layers in numerical simulations of sheared and non-sheared double-diffusive convection.
