I hope it's not to late to remind you that Typhon 0.4.0 (r600) has been
released... in March 2008 (8, yes, not 9).

New features were published on website
http://typhon.sourceforge.net/dev_chlog.html

From release 0.3.0 (2006), let's me remind you about main developments:

* symbolic computation mode for initialization and boundary conditions
* MUSCL variants and limiters (including 3rd order one)
* Runge Kutta time integration (RK2, RK3-SSP)
* Viscous flux implicitation
* automated configuration
* development: automated non regression test cases
* 2nd order Spectral Volume Method (SVM)... read more

Version 0.3.2 has been released.

See http://typhon.sourceforge.net/index_news.html
or below for details...

- Basic MUSCL method (MUSCL-UNS) : direct comparison of gradient and
face delat
- Initialization with symbolic functions (except DIRECTION)
- Initialization with optional static/total pressure or temperature,
Mach/velocity
- Moving wall boundary condition (WALL_VELOCITY)
- Viscous flux implicitation (automatic if IMPLICIT)
- Binary VTK (VTK-BIN) output
- Automatic system configuration (TYPHON/configure.sh)
- Automatic non regression test cases (in TYPHON/NRG, run with
TYPHON/check.sh)

I'm pleased to announce that Version 0.3.0 has been released.
It is based on a merged version of release 0.2.2 and 0.3RC1 (this release was only based on 0.2.0).

See http://typhon.sourceforge.net/index_news.html
for details...

From release 0.2.0, you will find those improvements:
- automatic mesh splitting (Metis) and parallel computations
- NS first order computation (up to 20 procs at least)
- NS second order computation (slightly different results at interfaces)
- Unsteady synchronization in parallel computations (timestep)
- optimization of CPU cost for gradient optimization (nearly 50%)
- Fast MUSCL method (for high quality meshes)
- Kim's 3rd order limiter (only for Fast MUSCL method for now)
- test of internal energy positivity (output of bad cell index if not positive)... read more
