Some of its many uses are simulation of incompressible, slightly compressible, fully compressible flows, and thermal conduction in fluid and solid regions modeled as heat transfer between the regions. Boundary and Initial Conditions may also be imposed on any problem. This Computational Fluid Dynamics code uses a combination of finite difference techniques along with numerous other numerical methods to provide the greatest efficiency and speed for analysis of intricate engineering problems. The package is made up of four separate codes. The first is the preprocessor , which performs the initial setup of properties, boundary conditions, obstacles and mesh generation.
Control then moves over to the main processor to do the actual problem solving.
After the computations are completed, the post processor uses data files that were written by the main processor to generate graphic displays. The final step is the image display program which reads the files and displays them according to the user's terminal setup. After obtaining an account, several changes to your setup will need to be made. If it is not contact the system administrator. DO NOT make any modifications to this file.
