2D CFD Code Development with SIMPLER Algorithm and C

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on developing a 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code for laminar flow using the SIMPLER algorithm in C. Participants recommend Thompson's "Handbook of Grid Generation" as a primary resource for grid generation methods, specifically for 2D triangular grids. The availability of an older revision of the book online through Mississippi State University is highlighted as a valuable resource. Additionally, the need for guidance on graphical user interface (GUI) development is mentioned, indicating a gap in the original poster's knowledge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the SIMPLER algorithm for CFD.
  • Familiarity with C programming language.
  • Knowledge of grid generation techniques, specifically for 2D triangular grids.
  • Basic concepts of graphical user interface (GUI) development.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Thompson's "Handbook of Grid Generation" for detailed grid generation methods.
  • Explore online resources for 2D triangular grid generation techniques.
  • Learn about GUI development frameworks suitable for C programming.
  • Investigate existing 2D CFD code examples to understand implementation details.
USEFUL FOR

CFD developers, C programmers, and researchers interested in fluid dynamics and grid generation techniques.

Hi,
I like to start writing 2d CFD code for laminar flow using SIMPLER algorithm using c. help me from where i get information abt grid generation methods and GUI. If anyone had written such codes can guide me.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I don't know jack about GUIs, but as far as grid generation, look no further than Thompson's book titled, Handbook of Grid Generation. In fact, there is a good chunk (older revision IIRC) available online through his Mississippi State website.

What kind of grid are you looking for?
 
Thanks for the input, I am looking for 2d tri grid.
