Large Eddy Simulation of Pipe flow using FLUENT 14.0

Hello, This post describes the methodology of setting up and running a LES simulation  in ANSYS-FLUENT, a very brief description about the meshing and solution procedure is presented here. Compared to RANS, LES simulations require finer grids since it aims in resolving the large scales of turbulent motion thus providing a better insight of the flow physics however LES is a transient simulation and the computation cost of LES much higher than...

Essential Startup kit for Parallel Development

Essential Startup kit for Parallel Development Got a new laptop with some serious horse-power, and here are the tolls that I am setting up for some CFD (some scientific computing) development stuff. Apart from some compilers, libraries, dependencies, etc I adding some post-processors and CFD related tools to make our lives easier. So here's the list (I am on Ubuntu by the way). Feel free to comment on adding more stuff. The keywords for Ubuntu's sudo apt-get install * are presented in brackets, wherever applicable. Compilers gcc / g++ (gcc...
