3D

UCNS3D is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver developed primarily at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom. Code development was initiated in 2006 by a group of researchers, academics and PhD students. 

The main scope of this website is to inspire researchers, scientists and engineers around the world to embrace CFD, by making the UCNS3D solver open-source under GPL-3.0. UCNS3D can be downloaded through GitHub; the solver incorporates high-order numerical schemes that enhance the accuracy of computations.

Our vision is to contribute to the accelerating adoption of high-order methods in CFD solvers.

Accuracy

High-order spatial accuracy up to 7th.

Scalability

Parallel MPI and OpenMP.

Physics

Linear advection, Euler, RANS, ILES and DES.

I/O

MPI I/O, VTK, Tecplot, Ansys, Starccm.

Robustness

Finite Volume MUSCL & WENO spatial schemes.

Efficiency

Fortran 2003 OOP, MKL-BLAS, ParMetis.
