C++ Vs Fortran -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

February 26, 2009, 07:19	C++ Vs Fortran	#1
Dave Guest Posts: n/a	Hi Guys, I'm about to start writing a pretty big CFD code to solve transonic flow about a moving airfoil. I have lots of experience in Fortran 90 and have dabbled a little in C++. Which language would you suggest I use for a computationally expensive process? I have been told that Fortran usually leads to faster executables (i.e. less computation time for a given system) but some colleagues dislike Fortran and opt for C++. I have no feelings either way - I would like to choose whichever program will give the fastest executable. Could someone please offer some advice?
