I wrote a simple 3D CFD solver that is intended for civil engineering (water resources and municipal water/wastewater) applications. Meshing, case development, simulation and visualization can all be performed from the included graphical interface. Exporting results to Paraview is also supported.
The software is available here: http://civilcfd.github.io Civil-CFD solves the Navier-Stokes equations in 3 dimensions. The VOF method is used for free surface flows. The k-E turbulence model is also used. There are no advanced sub-models at this time for sediment, moving mesh, etc. Civil-CFD is free software released under the GPL. A 64-bit Windows binary is provided, or it can be built from source in Windows or Linux using CMake. This is the first general release. Please keep in mind that results have not been validated by physical modeling or comparisons to commercial codes. This is a personal project I started out of interest in CFD and I hope you might find it useful. |
