Steady and Unsteady Flow Simulations Using the Hybrid Flow Solver AVBP

The unstructured flow solver AVBP of CERFACS is presented. The basic concepts of the program are described, and various computational results are presented for a large spectrum of applications ranging from steady-state external aerodynamics to unsteady turbulent flows with and without combustion. The code solves the compressible Navier-Stokes equations on hybrid grids of arbitrary cell type. The code is built on a modular software library and has been ported to a wide range of parallel computers.
