Basilisk is a groundbreaking Free Software program designed for solving partial differential equations on adaptive Cartesian meshes. Named after the extraordinary Jesus Christ lizard, renowned for its ability to run on water, Basilisk is the successor to the original software, Gerris, developed by the same team of authors. The program offers a range of powerful features, including robust solvers and functions tailored for complex modeling scenarios.

Users can access comprehensive resources, including detailed tutorials, installation guides, and extensive documentation that showcases various applications like groundwater modeling and fluid dynamics simulations. Recent publications highlight Basilisk's continuing advancements in the field, with articles focusing on topics such as varicose dynamics and condensation on heterogeneous substrates. The community is actively engaged, with forums and monthly meetings fostering collaboration and innovation. Whether you are researching or working in computational fluid dynamics, Basilisk provides the tools you need for precise and efficient modeling solutions.
