The RAMSES SNO is pleased to announce its first RAMSES School for Developers. This school will take place in Lyon from Dec. 9 (2pm) to Dec. 12 (5pm), 2025. It is designed to provide a thorough and practical introduction to the inner workings of the RAMSES code and is addressed to experienced users who wish to step up and develop their own models within RAMSES.
The school will start with a mix of lectures and exercises that cover most aspects of the code, and will end, if time allows, with a few projects where students will be guided to implement various features that are typical developments.
The lectures and exercises will cover the following topics.
- git for RAMSES
- General architecture of the code
- Data structures
- Particles
- Parameters, initialisations, and outputs
- MPI communications
- Particle-cell interactions
- Miscelaneous things (cooling, passive scalars, boundary conditions,…)
- Refinement schemes
The school can host no more than 8 participants and in order to make a fair selection, we ask candidates to provide upon registration a short description of the project they have in line with RAMSES, and a short summary of their experience in numerical astrophysics and with RAMSES.
The school is open to any professional astrophysicist (PhD, postdoc, engineer, researcher) working in France or abroad.
Registration is open on the school website, and it will close on Nov. 9, 2025.
