Version 2.0 of clawpack is now available from netlib, in pdes/claw.
See also the homepage at URL
ftp://amath.washington.edu/pub/rjl/programs/clawpack.html
There are several new features and applications, and expanded documentation.
CLAWPACK -- Conservation LAWs software PACKage
------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 of CLAWPACK is now available from netlib. This is a
package of Fortran subroutines for solving hyperbolic systems of
conservation laws in one and two space dimensions. (Future versions
should include 3D.) High resolution flux-limiter methods are used,
based on solving one-dimensional Riemann problems. In two dimensions,
multi-dimensional wave-propagation methods are used. The current
version supports only uniform Cartesian grids in rectangular domains,
and is intended primarily as a research and teaching tool. The
modular form should make it easy to modify and experiment with other
methods, as well as to apply it to new problems.
The code requires that the user supply a Riemann solver for the
problem being solved and also a subroutine that implements the
boundary conditions. Source terms can also be handled (via Strang
splitting) in which case an ODE solver for the source terms must also
be supplied. Several examples of different Riemann solvers are
included with the package, including e.g., advection equation,
Burgers' equation, Euler equations, isothermal equations, shallow
water equations. Various different boundary conditions are also
demonstrated, such as periodic, inflow, nonreflecting, and solid
walls. Numerous example drivers are included to demonstrate the use
of these subroutines. Matlab m-files are included to graphically
display the output, or they can be used as a model for writing
graphics routines in other languages. Documentation is included in
the package, including the postscript file for an introductory paper
on the package.
The package can be obtained from netlib, where it resides in the library
pdes/claw. This directory currently contains:
index the index
clawpack the basic package, with 1d, 2d routines and many examples
doc documentation (postscript files of papers, slides)
advection applications of clawpack to 2d advection equations, with
examples from a recent paper on this subject (in doc).
nozzle application of clawpack to the quasi-1d nozzle problem.
vBurgers viscous Burgers' equation, with diffusion equation as source.
L-domain L-shaped domains, such as the forward facing step problem.
My hope is that a library of more sophisticated applications will be
gradually built up, and contributions from other users will be
gratefully accepted.
The package may be obtained by anonymous ftp from
netlib.att.com,
where it resides in
netlib/pdes/claw.

[snip]
PSTSWM
PSTSWM v4.0 is now available from http://www.epm.ornl.gov/chammp/pstswm.
(It has been available for awhile, but the user guide has just been
updated.)
PSTSWM is a message-passing benchmark code and parallel algorithm
testbed that solves the nonlinear shallow water equations on a
rotating sphere using the spectral transform method. PSTSWM was
developed by to evaluate parallel algorithms for the spectral
transform method as it is used in global atmospheric circulation
models. Multiple parallel algorithms are embedded in the code and can
be selected at run-time, as can the problem size, number of
processors, and data decomposition. This flexibility allows the code
to be tuned on a parallel platform before benchmarking, thus
evaluating the multiprocessor on its ability to solve the numerical
problem rather than it ability to execute a given fixed parallel
implementation. Six different problem test cases are also supported,
each with associated reference solutions and solution and error
analysis options.
As of 4/1/95, PSTSWM runs on the Cray Research T3D, the IBM SP-1 and
SP-2, the Intel iPSC/2, iPSC/860, DELTA, and Paragon (on both GP and
MP nodes and using either the NX or SUNMOS operating systems), the
nCUBE/2 and nCUBE/2S, across a network of SUN and IBM workstations,
and on a Cray vector machine (as a serial application). Message
passing is implemented using MPI, PICL, PVM, and/or native message
passing libraries, with the choice being made at compile time. In
principle, it should also run on any other platform on which MPI,
PICL, or PVM is available.
To aid in tuning and in understanding the parallel performance, PSTSWM
has been instrumented for the collection of performance data using the
PICL trace and profile collection interface. The PICL implementation
of the code must be used in order to collect performance data on
interprocessor communication but a mixed PICL/native implementation is
also provided that can be used to collect data on events not related
to message passing. In the mixed implementation, the performance
sensitive message passing uses native commands and PICL is only used
in the collection of the performance data.

Overview
Flux-Corrected Transport (FCT) is a conservative, monotone technique
for integrating generalized continuity and hydromagnetic
equations. [...]
FCT was the first of the class of high-order, monotone schemes for
solving generalized continuity equations (e.g., the equations of
Eulerian hydrodynamics). An FCT bibliography of basic papers is posted
here.
A suite of FCT modules with test programs is being developed for
posting to the HPCC/ESS Software Exchange. [...]
The software for solving 2D hydrodynamical problems will be found in
the package LCPFCT2. For 2D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) applications,
the package MHDFCT2 also will be needed. Similar software packages
LCPFCT3 and MHDFCT3 eventually will be posted for solving 3D problems.

I am surprised you don't have any mention of the NACHOS II code by D. K.
Gartling of Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque, New Mexico 97185, USA.
I had no trouble obtaining a free copy. The code is documented in two
reports: "NACHOS II - A Finite Element Computer Program for Incompressible
Flow Problems, Part I - Theoretical Background (SAND86-1816 UC-32) and Part
II - User's Manual (SAND86-1817 UC-32). The code is written in Fortran. It
features triangular and quadrilateral elements, primative variables, with
post-processing for stream-function, fluid stress and flux computation.
I heard that Gartling was working on a 3D version of Nachos, but I don't
know for sure. There should be several other codes from Sandia.

FMS (Fluid Modeling System) is a system for constructing and
numerically solving the kinds of equations that arise in
general fluid flow problems, i.e. systems of conservation
laws. The current version handles flows in one space
dimension, plus time. FMS is intended to be a flexible and
powerful general purpose tool for this type of modeling.
The user supplies FMS with a description of the spatial
domain, and the system of equations to be solved, including
any boundary conditions or initial conditions, and FMS
attempts to compute the the corresponding solution (steady
state or time dependant).
The WIND code is a structured, multi-zone, compressible flow solver
with flexible turbulence and chemistry models. It is being developed
jointly by the NPARC Alliance (the Air Force Arnold Engineering
Development Center and NASA Glenn Research Center) and the Boeing
Company.

We have developed a free, 2-D CFD program for the Macintosh
called QUICK 'n SIMPLE, or "QnS" for short.
The program combines a graphical user interface, for specification
of the problem, with an iterative control-volume finite-difference
solution algorithm to solve two-dimensional convection with
diffusion of a passive scalar. It uses either the SIMPLE or
SIMPLER coupling algorithms and allows the user to select from
three popular upwinding schemes: pure upwinding, power-law
differencing scheme (PLDS), and the quadratic upstream
interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) scheme.
As the name implies, the program is designed to be both quick and
simple to use.
You can check it out, and download a copy if you like, from our web
server at
http://www.me.pdx.edu/~gerry/QnS
If you don't have a web browser, then you can also get a
copy via anonymous ftp site at
ee.pdx.edu/pub/users/faculty/gerry/QnS,
but its not nearly as fun, and you don't get to see our cool
examples and tutorial.
We have three versions available: 1) 68K, 2) 68K w/ fpu, and 3)
PowerMac. The only limit on the size of the problem you can solve
is the memory of your Mac. The 68k version (without fpu) can't
solve large problems in reasonable amounts of time, but QnS
really sings on a PowerMac. The PowerMac version runs over 200
times faster (not a typo) than the 68K version, so a problem
which may take 30 seconds on a PowerMac would take nearly two hours
on a 68K machine. The fpu version is somewhere in between, but
closer in speed to the 68K version.
Let us know what you think.

Here is the place where you can get a public domain solver for the
Navier-Stokes-equations.
It is a rather simple Finite-Volume-code but it can solve free-surface-flows.
Additionally there is a book available which describes step by step the
developement of the code.
So the code together with the book is an excellent
introduction into CFD and a good basis to develop more enhanced code.
The code is available via ftp-server:

Remarks:
--------
- The program is a 2D solver for the incompressible, transient Navier-Stokes
equations including the temperature equation and free boundary problems.
It uses finite differences for discretization on a structured equidistant
staggered grid, central and upwind (donor-cell) discretization of the
convective parts and an explicit time stepping scheme (Chorin's projection
method). The free boundary value problems are treated with the MAC technique.
- The program was developed for education at a Computer Science Institute.
Thus, it is easy to understand and easy to implement but it is not a
"state of the art" program.
- The files are compressed in PRG.zip.
Please uncompress with
unzip PRG.zip.
Then, the files are located in the directory PRG.
Furthermore, the files are available in the directory UNCOMPRESSED.
- The program is written in the C programming language.
- Compilation of the program with "make".
- Used C-compiler is "gcc" (see "makefile")
- Run the program by
"run " e.g."run dcavity.par".
- In the inputfiles "*.par" (examples can be found in the sub-directory
"PARAMETER"), the parameters for the program are given, such as
the parameters for the discretization, for the fluid, for the
initial data,... The inputfile given when starting "run" is read
at the beginning of the program.
- The following problems are implemented and inputfiles are available
in the subdirectory "PARAMETER"
* dcavity: Driven Cavity
* backstep: Flow over a backward facing step
* balken: Flow past an inclined plate
* kreis: Flow past a circular obstacle
* klappen: Flow through a T-junction
* damm: Breaking dam (free boundary value problem FBVP)
* tropfen: Splash of a liquid drop (FBVP)
* spritzguss: Injection moulding (FBVP)
* wafa: Flow over a backward facing step with free surface
* convection: Buoyancy flow with heated side walls
* fluidtrap: Buoyancy flow with obstacles
* rayleigh: Buoyancy flow with heated upper and lower wall
(Rayleigh-Benard Flow)
- For some problems (e.g. backstep, balken, kreis) the pressure correction
does not converge in the first time steps. This is due to the fact that
the initial velocity field does not satisfy the continuity equation.
- It is possible to store intermediate data in "outfile" specified in the
inputfile. Later on, you can use this intermediate data as initial data
for continuing your simulation if you specify this file as input-data
"infile".
- The comments in the code are not very detailed. For a complete
description of the code, please see the book.
- For the implementation of new problems, it is necessary to write
a new inputfile, to modify the boundary data in the function
"SETSPECBCOND" in the file "boundary.c" and the definition of the
obstacles in "INIT_FLAG" ("init.c").
- Parallelization and turbulence simulation described in the book are
not included in this package.
- For visualization, we used the graphics tool IDL. Using other
visualization software, it might be necessary to adapt the functions
"OUTPUTVEC_bin" and "streaklines_bin" in visual.c.

DROP V1.1
The program DROP describes the behaviour of individual spherical
particles like drops, bubbles or solid particles in multiphase flow
situation of a moving fluid. Starting with a force balance on an
individual particle, taking into account the relevant fluid-particle
interactions, the equation of particle movement in a Lagrangian
reference frame is derived. The resulting ODE-system is solved based
on a Runge-Kutta algorithm. As a result the velocity versus time or
position versus time function can be plotted or data can be written
into a file. Boundary conditions regarding the properties of the
particle and the fluid can be changed to describe different areas of
applications. The program is dialog driven and is running on PC´s
with Windows 3.1. The new version DROP V1.1 allows for analysis of
accelerating fluid flow in two dimensions.

I have written two short programs to calculate the exact Sod shock
tube problem solution and the exact Taylor-Sedov blast wave solution.
Even though these codes are very short and straightforward, I could not
find links to similar programs under the CFD Codes List. When you have
time, could you please provide a link to these codes? You can cut and
paste the following description :
Test Problem Code Archive
sod.f -- A f77 program to calculate the exact solution to the
Sod
shock tube problem. Initial configuration can be easily
altered to handle similar shock tube problems.
ts.c -- A C program to calculate the exact solution to the Taylor-
Sedov blastwave problem.

USGS WATER RESOURCES APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE NOW ON THE WEB
A suite of 48 software packages and related materials, used by the U.S.
Geological Survey for hydrologic analysis and modeling, is now available for
electronic retrieval through an on-line repository on the World Wide Web.
The repository is accessible via the WWW from the USGS Water Resources Home
Page at:
http://h2o.usgs.gov/
by selecting the announcement for "USGS Water Resources Applications
Software" or directly at:
http://h2o.usgs.gov/software/
In addition, the repository is available via anonymous File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) from the USGS Water Resources Information server:
h2o.usgs.gov or 130.11.50.175 (path: pub/software)
Note: a mirror site (http://www.geogr.uni-jena.de/software/) is available
at Friedrich-Schiller University, Department of Geoinformatics, Jena,
Germany that some users may find more convenient. FTP access is also
available at www.geogr.uni-jena.de (path: pub/software).
Each software distribution package consists of compiled or source code,
test data sets and documentation files. All of the USGS water resources
hydrologic analysis and modeling software applications available publicly on
the WWW are documented by published USGS reports. The software distribution
packages have been prepared primarily for the Data General AViiON DG/UX
platform and for compilation on other UNIX-based computers. The USGS
continues to prepare software packages for its own use on UNIX-based and
other computer platforms such as DOS-based personal computers. As these
packages are available, they will be added to the repository.
The software available in the repository is grouped into the following
categories: geochemical, ground water, surface water, water quality and
general. Examples of the software now available through the on-line
repository include:
PHREEQC--A program for aqueous geochemical calculations;
MOC--Two-dimensional method of characteristics ground-water flow and
transport model;
MODFLOW--A modular three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow
model;
SUTRA--Saturated and/or unsaturated, constant or variable-density fluid
flow, and solute or energy transport (two-dimensional finite
element code);
ANNIE--Interactive hydrologic (time series) data management;
BRANCH--Branch-network one-dimensional dynamic flow model;
HSPEXP--Expert system for calibration of the Hydrological Simulation
Program--Fortran (HSPF).
Since June 1996, when these programs and associated documentation became
publicly available on the WWW, the number of accesses by users outside the
USGS has increased rapidly. Currently, the site is "visited" about 2500
times per month by users outside the USGS.

Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory has recently released some CFD software
that would be appropriate for the CFD codes list. The software is
available from our web site at:
http://seesar.lbl.gov/ccse/software/software.html
Included are two applications codes:
Gas Dynamics AMR - HAMR
An adaptive mesh refinement algorithm for solving the compressible
Euler equations in two and three dimensions. The code uses an
operator-split second-order Godunov algorithm for advancing the flow
equations.
Single Grid Incompressible Flow Solver - VarDen
An incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes algorithm based on a
projection method formulation. There are two and three dimensional
versions of the algorithm both of which can treat large-amplitude
density variations.
Also available are support software libraries
BoxLib C++ library
C++ class library to support block-structured adaptive algorithms. The
applications codes discussed above are based on BoxLib
Amrvis visualization tool
A visualization tool for viewing data generated by block-structured
adaptive algorithms. The above applications generate plot files that
can be visualized with AmrVis. AmrVis is also built using BoxLib.
A 3-D Navier-Stokes CFD System
PAB3D solves the three-dimesional Reynolds-averaged
Navier-Stokes equations with a finite-volume formulation
on structured multi-block grids. Initially developed to predict
simple internal and external performance of nozzle-afterbody
configurations, the code has evolved to predict complex flow
in mixer-ejector nozzles, thrust vectoring, multi-species jet
mixing, and propulsion installation with a variety of
aerodynamic configurations. The flow solver has a robust
(production quality) two-equation k-epsilon turbulence
models with anisotropic algebraic Reynolds stress models.
PAB3D also has the capability of modeling standard air
real-gas effects.

I have recently created an archive of user fortran subroutines for
CFX users. The site is located at
http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/d-creech/cfd/subroutine/index.html
Currently the site contains subroutines that I wrote for my thesis
research at the University of Illinois. I am hoping to get submissions
from other CFX users, and make the site a useful resource.
The motivation for this site was the difficulty that I had in learing to
write subroutines for CFX - there are very few useful examples in the
documentation. Hopefully the site will prevent others from having the
same problem

MicroTunnel analyzes 2-D subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow
(Mach 0.1 to 3.0) over multi-element configurations on a raster type
Cartesian mesh. Flow visualization is provided through color contour
plots of local Mach number, density, pressure, and temperature,
including streamline plots. Shock waves are easily captured!
MicroTunnel runs out of Microsoft Windows through simple "point and
click" operations. While the program is computing, other applications
can still be run with minimal sacrifice in performance. Any screen
output can be sent to a color printer.
MicroTunnel is based on a finite volume description of the unsteady
Euler equations using Van Leer type flux vector splitting. A solution
is marched in time from an instantaneous acceleration of the
flow. Flow resolutions of 200x150 take approximately six hours to
converge to steady state on a system with minimum requirements.

This is the very first public version of MOUSE, a finite volume
library. At the Institute of Combustion and Gas Dynamics at the
University of Duisburg in Germany, we use this library for CFD
applications. Since this is the first public version and it has been
restructured quite a bit from the last internal one, it is likely that
you discover some bugs if you use it. Nevertheless we think it is in a
state where it can be useful. If you discover bugs, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
MOUSE is an object oriented framework for finite volume computations
on unstructured grids. It serves as a development library, as well as
a ready to use application.
