``pyFLD`` documentation
=================================

``pyFLD`` is a Python package for computing the flux-limited diffusion (FLD) approximation to radiative transfer in protoplanetary disks. It is designed as a computationally efficient alternative to full radiative transfer calculations, and is particularly well-suited for determining the temperature structure of protoplanetary disks while remaining capable of handling time-dependent problems.

``pyFLD`` relies heavily on the ``astropy.Quantity`` class for handling physical units as a design choice, allowing for hassle-free unit conversions and ensuring that all calculations are performed with consistent units. This (nearly) eliminates errors due to unit mismatches.
