FLUBIO—An unstructured, parallel, finite-volume based Navier–Stokes and convection–diffusion like equations solver for teaching and research purposes

Abstract

FLUBIO is a parallel, unstructured, finite-volume based solver for the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations and convection–diffusion like equations. The solver is written using modern Fortran (2003+ standard), it is object-oriented, and is organized in such a way that it is easy to understand and modify. The solver is targeted at students, academics, personal users and practitioners to help them understand the general theory behind modern CFD solution methods and discretization techniques. The solver is also general and capable enough to deal with industrial and academic problems found in the field of fluid dynamics.
