Block-structured compressible Navier-Stokes solution using the OPS high-level abstraction
in International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics
| Description | This project has successfully developed a high-level framework for the automatic parallelisation of unstructured grid applications on a wide variety of target architectures. |
| Exploitation Route | It is currently being exploited for a major CFD application at Rolls-Royce. The software which has been developed has been made openly available. |
