Open Source CFD Solver

The Open Source CFD (OCFD) solver is a three-dimensional, unstructured grid CFD solver. It currently solves the Euler equations for both steady and unsteady flow using implicit time stepping.

The source code of the solver is under the General Public License (GPL) for the purpose of teaching students about the workings of CFD.

Features:

  • Euler equations
  • Roe's solver
  • Harten's entropy correction
  • artificial dissipation
  • Jorgenson-Turkel switch
  • steady or unsteady flow
  • edge-based, dual volume
  • moving grids
  • Newton iterations for implicit time stepping
  • Jacobi linear solver
  • parallelisation using MPI
