OCTLES

A general purpose code for multiphysics applications. OCTLES uses an adaptive, octal tree tetrahedral discretization of the computation domain of interest. A different equation set may be associated with each tetrahedron. The code has been applied mostly to fluid flow problems, but is of general scope. Written in C.

 

BEARCLAW

A general purpose code for multiphysics applications. A rewriting and extension of AMRCLAW, the adaptive mesh refinement version of CLAWPACK. The code uses adaptive, structured Cartesian grids. A modular approach separates the core functions of the code into:

  • tree operations module

  • adaptive meshing module

  • numerical methods module

  • problem module

As such, any single grid numerical procedure may be plugged in to obtain an adaptive mesh version. A number of classical schemes, the wave propagation schemes from CLAWPACK, ENO, compact and central schemes are available. The package includes many examples and a number of large scale applications including fluid-structure interactions, large eddy simulation and multiphase flow. Written in Fortran 90.

 

CFoil

Aerodynamic analysis of compressor and turbine cascades using several popular airfoils. Useful as a teaching tool, and was used extensively as such in an Aeroengine Design Course.

 

Inlet

Aerodynamic analysis of flows in and arround an aeroengine inlet. Useful as a teaching tool, and was used extensively as such in an Aeroengine Design Course.

 

Cycle

Analysis of most common aeroengine thermodynamic cycles.

 

AxiBubble

High resolution computation of the flow in and arround an axisymmetric bubble. An integral equation formulation with iteration of the bubble shape. The theory is presented in "Closure Models for the Computation of Dilute Bubbly Flows", Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Wissenschaftliche Berichte FZKA 6357, April, 2000.

 

SpectralMPI

A spectral code for the advection-diffusion equation which uses message-passing (MPI) to run on distributed memory parallel computers.
