A general purpose Lattice-Boltzmann code for fluid-dynamics simulations. It includes :
- fluid dynamics (with several volume forcing terms for Channel flow, Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence, buoyancy)
- temperature dynamics (advection, diffusion , sink/source or reaction terms)
- phase change (enthalpy formulation for solid/liquid systems)
- scalar transport (same functionalities as temperature)
- lagrangian dynamics (tracers, heavy/light & active point-like particles; non-shperical Jeffery rotation, gyrotaxis)
- large eddy simulation (Smagorinsky, Shear Improved Samgorinsky with Kalman Filter)
Requirements:
- MPI
- HDF5
- CMake (optional)
