WIND: The Production Flow Solver of the NPARC Alliance

Abstract

The NPARC Alliance is dedicated to providing an applications oriented CFD tool for government, industry and academic research and development. To meet this challenge, the WIND code has been developed, based on combining the capabilities of three existing CFD solvers used and developed in the government and industry sectors. WIND is a structured, multi-zone, compressible flow solver with flexible chemistry and turbulence models. Zonal interfaces may be abutting or overlapped, allowing the flexibility to treat complex systems moving relative to one another. WIND is part of a user friendly, robust flow simulation system supported, developed and validated by NPARC Alliance members and partners. This paper describes the approach taken in managing this joint software development project, an outline of the flow solver capabilities, a brief overview of the solution procedure, and some example simulations.
