Enzo Primary References¶
The Enzo method paper is ENZO: An Adaptive Mesh Refinement Code for Astrophysics by Bryan et al., in The Astrophysical Journal. This reference describes the essential physics and numerical methods in the Enzo code, which are also briefly outlined in Enzo Algorithms. In addition to the method paper, here are some older papers that also discuss earlier versions of the Enzo code or some subset of its algorithms:
