Hydrodynamical codes have proven to be useful in astrophysics and cosmology. They have successfully reproduced the structure we observe over a wide range of length scales ranging from clusters of galaxies to stellar systems. Although widely applicable, one pillar of the Eulerian/NS formalism, namely the assumption of a small Knudsen number (high local momentum diffusivity) does not always hold however. The last year saw much progress in the development of new algorithms that allow for non-equilibrium flows of arbitrary Knudsen number. In this poster, I will briefly review how my lab and I use hydrodynamics as well as review these new algorithms and plans to apply them to study astrophysical phenomenon.
