Radiative transfer code Dusty

Team space

There are two versions:

1) The original 1999 version, known internally as V2. Instructions, the code, and supporting files for V2 are available from the old Dusty's website

If you use gfortran to compile Dusty V2, please take a look at this discussion of -std=legacy flag

2) The latest and greatest ("new and improved") version, known internally as V4. You can get V4 as *tar
file distribution, which also includes the V4 manual

Important note:

V4 is not nearly as much tested and verified as V2. V2 is recommended over V4, unless you require V4 functionality that doesn't exist in V2:

• slab geometry (V2 only supports spherical geometry)
• external heating (V2 only supports a central source of radiation)
• multi-grain mixtures (V2 uses an approximation that is still single grain type model)

Building steps for V4:

i) To generate V4 release files (directory release), run

sh generate_release.sh

ii) then compile

cd release/dusty

make

NB: for MacOS users - if you encounter "ld: library not found for -lcrt1.o" problem, then do

xcode-select --install

iii) and finally run the example master file:

./dusty dusty.mas
