TORUS is a three-dimensional radiative transfer code which uses an adaptive mesh refinement scheme and a Monte-Carlo method to solve for the radiative equilibrium, hydrostatic equilibrium, and dust sublimation in circumstellar discs around both low and high-mass pre-main-sequence stars. TORUS is either an acronym for Transport of Radiation Under Sobolev, or Transport of Radiation Using Stokes.


I will be adding to this page in the coming days to give a basic overview of how TORUS performs its calculations, how to use the code, and examples of plotting/displaying the code's output images and SEDs.
