Wind-US 1.0 --> Wind-US 2.0 Changes

Many of the changes from Wind-US 1.0 to 2.0 are related to unstructured grids. The unstructured solver has been completely re-written, and more closely integrated with other Wind-US routines. As a result, there are more routines and features that apply to both the structured and unstructured solvers. Other areas of emphasis in this update are multi-species flows, reliability, and maintainability.

The changes in Wind-US, and in the associated tools and utilities, are described in more detail in the following sections. Changes between previous releases are also available, as follows:

Wind-US Code

The following changes have been made to Wind-US. A number in parentheses following the description (e.g., 2.83) is the specific IVMS version in which the change was introduced.

Keywords

The following keywords have been added, modified, or deleted. For more information, see the more detailed list of changes below, or the Keyword Reference section in the Wind-US User's Guide

Non-Backward Compatibility

A few changes are not backward-compatible. I.e., some input data (.dat) files and multi-processing control (.mpc) files used with Wind-US 1.0 may need to be changed for use with Wind-US 2.0. The known non-backward-compatible changes are listed briefly below, and in more detail in the following sections.

Code Structure

Numerics

Turbulence Modeling

Boundary Conditions

Chemistry

Miscellaneous

TEST Options

The following TEST options have been added, modified, or deleted. See the Test Options section for more detailed descriptions.

DEBUG Options

The following DEBUG options have been added, modified, or deleted. See the description of the DEBUG keyword for more detailed descriptions.

Note that all the "modified" options except for 34 are really new options, unrelated to their usage in Wind-US 1.0, and the sense of option 34 has been reversed. For these options, this is thus a non-backward-compatible change.

Makefiles

The following changes have been made to the Makefiles used in building Wind-US and the tools.

Scripts

The following changes have been made to the scripts used to run Wind-US and the tools.

CFPOST

The following changes have been made to CFPOST. A number in parentheses following the description (e.g., 4.1) is the specific version of CFPOST in which the change was introduced.

MADCAP

MADCAP has been updated for compatibility with Wind-US 2.0.

Utilities

The following changes have been made to various utilities.

libcfd

The following changes have been made to the CFD library.

ADF
