We are currently developing a variety of solvers, including a compressible Navier-Stokes DG solver, with local adaptation/multigrid, and also an incompressible solver for multiphase flows, etc. More information is available in this link: Horses3D
Our high order CFD software is open source!
You can find our paper with the more recent features here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010465523000450
and the code here: https://github.com/loganoz/horses3d
HORSES3D capabilities include:
- DGSEM formulation for efficiency,
- Compressible & incompressible flows,
- Turbulent regimes can be simulated by means of DNS, LES and RANS,
- Parallelised with MPI and OPENMP,
- Energy/Entropy stable formulations for robustness,
- h/p local adaptation (hanging nodes and polynomial adaptation),
- Explicit/Implicit and multigrid time marching,
- High order curved boundary conditions,
- Immersed Boundaries (mesh free),
- Actuator lines to simulate wind turbines
- Multiphase flows
- Aeroacoustics (FWH, APE)
Additionally, during my doctorate, I developed and implemented an unsteady unstructured incompressible high order (order ≥ 3) Discontinuous Galerkin - Fourier solver. Linearised and adjoint linearised versions of the code for flow instability analysis have been developed.
The solver main capabilities include:
- Flow described using primitive variables (velocity and pressure),
- Triangular and quadrilateral elements,
- High order curved boundary conditions,
- A sliding mesh capability that enables high order solutions of rotating geometries,
- 2D and 3D versions, the latter being an extension of the 2D-DG with Fourier series,
- Laminar and turbulent regimes can be simulated by means of DNS or LES closure models,
- Parallelised for distributed memory clusters using a a combination of MPI and OPENMP paradigms.

Overlaid in the main figure are streamlines showing the flow trajectory. Inset figure shows details of the flow structures near the circular cylinder (velocity magnitude iso-surface |u| = 0.3 m/s).
