Virtual Flow Solver Geophysics: A 3D Incompressible Navier-Stokes Solver

Virtual Flow Solver Geophysics (VFS-Geophysics) is a three-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes solver based on the Curvilinear Immersed Boundary (CURVIB) method. The CURVIB is a sharp interface type of immersed boundary (IB) method that enables the simulation of fluid f...
