FEST-3D

Development of an open-source three-dimensional finite-volume RANS solver

2015-2020

FEST-3D (Finite-volume Explicit STructured 3-Dimensional) is open-source computational fluid dynamic solver written in Fortran 90 for solving the Navier-Stokes equations on structured grids using state-of-the-art finite-volume methods. It is a modular, multiblock, finite-volume code developed to solve flow problems in the field of aerodynamics.
