--- title: Basilisk toc: no ... *Basiliscus basiliscus* is the latin name of the extraordinary [Jesus Christ lizard](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_basilisk), famous for its ability to run on the surface of water, a characteristic it shares with another well-known water-walker [*Gerris lacustris*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerris_lacustris). Basilisk is also the name of a [Free Software](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software) program for the solution of [partial differential equations](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation) on adaptive Cartesian meshes. It is the successor of [Gerris](http://gfs.sf.net) and is developed by the same [authors](src/AUTHORS). If you want to find out more about Basilisk see: * [Tutorial]() * [Installation instructions](src/INSTALL) * [Basilisk C]() * [Solvers and functions](src/README) * [Examples](src/examples/README) * [Tests](src/test/README) * [More documentation](sandbox/documentation) ## Picture of the month ![Comparison between experiment and simulation for the impact of a 1.6 mm FC-770 droplet onto a silicon oil pool.
