FASTEST

The flow solver FASTEST

Developed further permanently at the institute FNB, the software package FASTEST is an efficient tool for the simulation of flows in complex three dimensional configurations. The software provides the basis for the mayority of current and past research projects at FNB and is used in numerous national as well as international academic facilities.

Key features Numerics
  • Stationary and instationary problems
  • Laminar and turbulent flows
  • Flows with heat tranfercaused by convection, radiation and conjugate heat tranfer and heat conduction through walls
  • Flows with chemical reactions
  • Flows with phase transition
  • Moving grids
  • etc.
  • Fully conservative Finite-Volume code, 2. Order in space and time
  • Blockstructured boundary adjusted Grids with free topology
  • SIMPLE-Type pressure correction scheme
  • Numerous implicite and explicite time discretization schemes
  • MPI coupling interface for external codes
  • Geometric and algebraic multigrid acceleration

Application Examples

Turbulent flow around a cylinder

Mixing simulation

Fluid-structure interaction

3D flow around cylinder-plate configuration
