Fewer number of equations and unknown functions in flow dynamics gives a gain in calculation process and imposes lower requirements for the computational resources. So, technologically, 3D modelling using LES turbulence model is possible today. An application consists of 3D editor, control panel, modeling area. The planned improvements: new solid types, turbulence models based upon vorticity . The trial version has limitations on the size of the grid, maximum Reynolds number, restrictions in the settings. System requirements: Win x64, vc++ redistributable, openGL drivers.Starting Price: free -
