Abstract

An overview of the various design choices to be made for a two-dimensional numerical code to simulate heavy ion targets is given. We discuss such issues as the grid structure, rezoning techniques, and the inclusion of material properties to various degrees. This is followed by a brief discussion of the open codes being used in the European heavy ion fusion community with characteristic samples of their application.
