Summary Also known as Model type Single Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Technical specs Supported platforms Unix, Linux Other platform Programming language C Other program language Code optimized Multiple processors implemented Nr of distributed processors Nr of shared processors Start year development 2008 Does model development still take place? Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through CSDMS repository Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements approximately: 1.5 million nodes requires 1Gbyte Typical run time In/Output Describe input parameters Geometrical parameters: Nx, Ny, Nz, X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Z1, Z2; Flow parameters: Reynolds, Peclet, Viscosity Ratio; Flags: resume simulation, add wave perturbation. Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Velocities and concentration fields of the particles are stored to binary files at given time steps. Output format Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? Yes Describe post-processing software Matlab functions to read binary data from file. Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model The code models the evolution of a diffusive interface and the instabilities that arises when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous one in a confined rectangular geometry. Describe key physical parameters and equations Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled to a convective-diffusive equation to describe the concentration field of the particles. Describe length scale and resolution constraints In its current state, the code is restricted to low Reynolds number and Peclet number of order 1000. Describe time scale and resolution constraints Describe any numerical limitations and issues Testing Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Other Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Is there a manual available? No Upload manual if available: Model website if any Model forum / discussion board Comments Introduction History Papers Issues Help Input Files Output Files Download Source
