Enzo user workshop 2012
The first Enzo workshop in Japan will take place at Hokkaido University in Sapporo. This will be a two day meeting on the 17th and 18th May, focusing on new users to Enzo and its main analysis package, yt.
Enzo is a 3D adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamics code for simulating astrophysical objects. It has been used to model a wide range of scales from cosmological simulations of galaxies to the evolution of protoplanetary disks. In addition to gas evolution, Enzo contains routines for star formation, magnetic fields and radiative transfer. A more detailed look at its capabilities can be found in the links below.
Enzo has an active user and developer community and is freely available. It can run on computers from a laptop to a multicore HPC.
Our workshop
This workshop will present talks by Enzo developers John Wise (Georgia Tech), Matthew Turk (Columbia University), Britton Smith (Michigan State University) and Elizabeth Tasker (Hokkaido University), aimed at covering the basics of starting a new simulation with Enzo and producing plots and images of the results.
Participants will have the oppertunity to try the examples on the local computers at Hokkaido, accessed via their laptops.
All talks will be in English.

Accessing Sapporo
Hokkaido University is located in the city of Sapporo on the northern island of Hokkaido. Sapporo is easiest to reach by air, with New Chitose Aiport (CTS) being an approximately 40 minute train ride from the city centre. The direct JR line train from the airport to Sapporo Station costs 1040 yen. There are also buses. More information can be found on the airport's website here.
The University is an easy fifteen minute walk from the station. A map of campus and directions from the station can be found here.
Once on campus, please come to the Graduate School of Science which is number "20" on this map; it consists of twin towers behind the museum. On the (non-3D) maps found at this link, it is number "21". Once you entre the building, follow the signs to the third floor to room 5-304.
Slides from the workshop
"First steps with Enzo" -- Britton Smith
