This program computes the evolution of an accretion disc interacting with a binary system.
It has been developed and used to study the coupled evolution of supermassive BH binaries and gaseous accretion discs.
See DOCS.md for technical details on how to compile, to prepare the input files and to analyze the ouput.
For details on the scientific implementation, see the published paper.
