Virtual Flow Solver - Geophysics: A 3D Incompressible Navier-Stokes Solver
Virtual Flow Solver - Geophysics (VFS-Geophysics) is a three-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes solver based on the Curvilinear Immersed Boundary (CURVIB) method. The CURVIB is a sharp interface type of immersed boundary (IB) method that enables the simulation of fluid flows in the presence of geometrically complex moving bodies. The CURVIB method can be applied to wind/MHK turbine simulations and energy applications.
VFS-Geophysics is the result of many years of research work by several graduate students, post-docs, and research associates that have been involved in the Computational Hydrodynamics and Biofluids Laboratory directed by Professor Fotis Sotiropoulos. The preparation of the present manual has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DE-EE 0005482).
