PackageDescription | General purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software - Documentation
The basic capabilities of Code_Saturne enable the handling of either
incompressible or expandable flows with or without heat transfer and
turbulence. Dedicated modules are available for specific physics such
as radiative heat transfer, combustion (gas, coal, heavy fuel oil, ...),
magneto-hydrodynamics, compressible flows, two-phase flows
(Euler-Lagrange approach with two-way coupling), extensions to
specific applications (e.g. Mercure_Saturne for atmospheric
environment).
.
It runs in parallel with MPI on distributed memory machines.
Developed since 1997 at EDF R&D, it is based on a co-located Finite
Volume approach that accepts meshes with any type of cell
(tetrahedral, hexahedral, prismatic, pyramidal, polyhedral...) and any
type of grid structure (unstructured, block structured, hybrid,
conforming or with hanging nodes, ...).
