About this technology

Overview

FUN3D version 14.3 is a suite of computational fluid dynamics simulation and design tools that uses mixed-element unstructured grids and optional overset topologies to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for static and dynamic applications. Various turbulence treatments are available. A discretely-consistent adjoint solver enables efficient gradient-based design optimization. Mesh adaptation capabilities are also available. Gas models include compressible and incompressible perfect-gas approaches, as well as general finite-rate chemistry for flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. GPU acceleration is also available for many of the capabilities.
