GASFLOW-MPI

GASFLOW is highly verified and validated, reliable 3D-CFD-Software for simulation of gas and dust mixing/distribution. GASFLOW solves the Navier-Stokes-equations

• on Cartesian or cylindrical grids
• in complex, multiconnected rooms
• accounting for heat transfer with solid structures
• including condensation and evaporation and
• radiation

GASFLOW provides models for special risk mitigation technologies like

• inerting, passive autocatalytic recombiners, igniters and
• water sprays

Provides professional interfaces for user input and output for post processing

Implementation in Fortran 90 on Linux based systems (e.g. Cray, Fujitsu, IBM, NEC, HP, PC clusters etc.)
