Introduction to CFD++, its Transient and Moving Body Capabilities
Abstract
CFD++ is a Computational Fluid Dynamics software suite built to tackle engineering and scientific applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, biomedical, manufacturing, electronics, chemical, power, construction, cooling systems, and household products. Some of the features of CFD++ are unified physics, unified grid and unified computing; Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) with state-of-the-art, realizable turbulence closures; large eddy simulation (LES) and hybrid RANS/LES; advanced wall-function treatments; coarse-grid turbulent flow-field prediction capability; compressible fluid flows with high- and low-speed specializations; incompressible flows; single and multi-species reacting flows; integrated unified-grid treatment for all grid and cell topologies, including patched non-aligned and overset grids; advanced discretization and solution methodology; fast, efficient solver; versatile boundary conditions; user-friendly Graphical User Interface and a rich collection of pre- and post-processing tools; and transparent implementation across a wide range of single- and multi-CPU computer platforms and networks. CFD++ is a superset of the various CFD methodologies available and provides accuracy, robustness, and ease of use over all flow regimes, including both unsteady and steady, inviscid, laminar, and turbulent flows. This presentation discusses CFD++ in relation to missile staging, missile staging early transients, and 3-dimensional paddle/plume interaction,
