nsCouette — A high-performance code for direct numerical simulations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1908.00587


We present nsCouette, a highly scalable software tool to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flow between differentially heated and independently rotating, concentric cylinders. It is based on a pseudospectral spatial discretization and dynamic time-stepping. It is implemented in modern Fortran with a hybrid MPI-OpenMP parallelization scheme and thus designed to compute turbulent flows at high Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers. An additional GPU implementation (C-CUDA) for intermediate problem sizes and a basic version for turbulent pipe flow (nsPipe) are also provided.
