FEST-3D: Finite-volume Explicit STructured 3-Dimensional solver

Description of the Multi-Dimensional Finite Volume Solver EULER

A low communication and large time step explicit finite-volume solver for non-hydrostatic atmospheric dynamics

An explicit finite-volume solver is proposed for numerical simulation of non-hydrostatic atmospheric dynamics with promise for efficiency on massively parallel machines via low communication needs and large time steps. Solving the governing equations with a single stage lowers communication, and using the method of characteristics to follow information as it propagates enables large time steps....

Equilibrium condition nonlinear modeling of a cracked concrete beam using a 2D Galerkin finite volume solver

A constitutive model based on two–dimensional unstructured Galerkin finite volume method (GFVM) is introduced and applied for analyzing nonlinear behavior of cracked concrete structures in equilibrium condition. The developed iterative solver treats concrete as an orthotropic nonlinear material and considers the softening and hardening behavior of concrete under compression and tension by using...

Finite Volume Central Schemes for 3-dimensional Ideal MHD

We present second-order accurate central finite volume methods adapted here to three-dimensional problems in ideal magnetohydrodynamics. These methods alternate between two staggered grids, thus leading to Riemann solver-free algorithms with relatively favorable computing times. The original grid considered in this paper is Cartesian, while the dual grid features either Cartesian or diamond-sha...

A Fully Coupled Finite Volume Solver for the Solution of Incompressible Flows on Locally Refined Non-matching Block-structured Grids

A fully coupled solver for the solution of steady laminar incompressible flow problems on locally refined non-matching block-structured grids that promises improved convergence properties is presented. For this a coupled velocity-pressure algorithm developed by Darwish [1] that solves the momentum and pressure equations simultaneously is extended correspondingly. The spatial finite-volume discr...
