Reports and Theses¶
Eilmer4¶
The Eilmer4 user’s guide describes how to set up and run simulations. The companion gas model and geometry user guides describe the details of the thermochemistry models and the geometry/grid generation modules.
- Jacobs PA, Gollan RJ, The user’s guide to the Eilmer4 flow simulation program, including some examples to get you started. School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering Technical Report 2016/17 , November 2016.
- Gollan RJ, Jacobs PA, The user’s guide to the Dlang gas Package, including gas-calc and the API. School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering Technical Report 2016/20 , December 2016.
- Jacobs PA, Gollan RJ, The user’s guide to the Dlang geometry package for use with the Eilmer4 flow simulation program. School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering Technical Report 2016/19 , October 2016.
All of these reports are available, in PDF, from the new Eilmer page
Eilmer3¶
Eilmer3 has been our main 2D/3D compressible flow simulation code for a number of years and will remain available, however, new work should be started with Eilmer4. Yes, the input scripts are a little different, but Eilmer4 is so much better…
Eilmer3-User-Guide describes how to set up and run simulations with Eilmer3.
Eilmer3-Theory-Book describes the detailed calculations that are done for a flow simulation.
MB_CNS¶
MB_CNS and mbcns2 are the earlier generation 2D flow simulation codes. These have been superseded by Eilmer3.
Report-2004-10 is the MB_CNS Example book.
ICASE-Interim-Report-18 (1991) on the Navier-Stokes solver CNS4U. CNS4U was eventually superceded by MB_CNS, and this report by the Eilmer3-Theory-Book
Report-10-96 on MB_CNS updates the documentation on the multiple-block version of the Navier-Stokes code.
Report-2005-10 describes the Python-based input format for mb_cns.
L1d¶
Report-13-98 is the documentation for theory behind the Lagrangian 1-D program.
Report-2005-09 describes the newer, Python-based input format.
IMOC¶
Report-3-00 describes the user interface to the Interactive Method-of-Characteristics program. Note that, although the current web copy is a bit broken, the code and documentation is in the code repository.
OctVCE¶
Report-2007-13 is the “User guide for shock and blast simulation with the OctVCE code (version 3.5+)”
Onedval¶
Report-2013-04 is the manual for the Onedval program, a tool to extract one-dimensionalised values from CFD data.
