Hybrid Movies

A collection of movies visualizing different collision systems using the SMASH-vHLLE-Hybrid approach. ParaView state files are downloadable for some movies to easily recreate them. Please be aware of the ParaView version with which they were created. For a tutorial on how to produce hybrid animations or adapt the provided state files see the Movies Tutorial Page.
Visit the SMASH Movies page for a collection of movies using only SMASH for the entire evolution.

Except where otherwise noted, all movies on this site are licensed under CC BY 4.0

If you are interested in a movie with particluar parameters (e.g., collision system, collision energy, impact parameter) which is not on our homepage, feel free to contact us via elfner(at)itp.uni-frankfurt.de.
