Abstract
We have developed a 3-D Eulerian hydrodynamics code to model sources of gravitational radiation. The code is written in cylindrical coordinates and has moving grids in the and -directions. We use Newtonian gravity and calculate the gravitational radiation in the quadrupole approximation. This code has been tested on a variety of problems to verify its accuracy and stability, and the results of these tests are reported here.
