            BOUT++ is a framework for writing fluid and plasma simulations
            in curvilinear geometry.  It is intended to be quite modular, with a
            variety of numerical methods and time-integration solvers available.
            BOUT++ is primarily designed and tested with reduced plasma fluid
            models in mind, but it can evolve any number of equations, with
            equations appearing in a readable form.
            <p> Jointly developed by University of York (UK), LLNL, CCFE, DCU, DTU, and other international partners.</p>
