here open research unstructured fluid solver
 

Hi All,

I am working on gas-solid flow based on my own in-house code. Solid particle in my code is solved by discrete element method, whereas gas is based on a general structured fluid solver. I am supposed to handle some complex geometry which is beyond of the capability of my code. An unstructured fluid solver handling incompressible flow can be used to overcome this problem. I know that there are several open sources are available, such as OpenFoam, Code_Saturne. However, these codes are very poor for dense-phase gas-solid flow. Also they are complicated (for me) and require a long time to learn and control because they try to deal with a wide range of applications. Actually, I just require fluid solver is able to handle incompressible flow with standard turbulent models. More importantly, I can not get enough time to learn OpenFoam or the like by myself. To date, CFD is well-developed and has been dominated by commercial package. Many researchers no more further develop their in-house codes and turn to some commercial package. Is there any group who are willing to open me their previous research code which has been well validated and has a good robustness in handling single-phase flow. So I can shift my stuff to their code to handle dense-phase flow which is a very hot research topic. As a credit, I will share them with my final development. If you are interested in this idea, we can contact and show each other our past research outputs,and schedule details.

Cheers,

Gonski

Is there open research unstructured fluid solver?
 

I notice that one world is missed in the title. It is "Is there open research unstructured fluid solver?". Sorry for this mistake.
